About Me

Hi Cruise Fans, my name is Freddie!

P1050622

If you want to talk to someone that has a vast amount of experience and won’t give you the hard sell then I’m your man.

13 years in this industry has taught me that most of the time, the customer knows your job better than you do, so nowadays I’m more about listening than speaking! That said, I do know my stuff……..

I have sailed on nearly every cruise brand you can think of, with a couple of exceptions, but there is still time for that! So feel free to pick my brain about anything you need to!

I’ve been lucky enough to travel to a mass of destinations in my time, Florida, Barbados, Dubai, The Maldives to name some of my favourites, but when it comes to cruising I’ve also done a lot closer to home, plenty of the Med, namely coastal Spain, a place I adore, but more recently I’ve also done a little bit of river cruising down the Danube, which was incredible. Safe to say I practice what I preach.

I’m a down to earth Northern lad with a passion for travel and a valuable knowledge of the cruise business. So if you need some advice or just fancy a no nonsense chat about a potential future cruise, just drop me a line!

Out of work i have four loves, my wife, my son, my dogs, and of course Manchester United! If i’m not on the phone talking cruise at weekends, I can be found up a hill or in a valley shouting at my bonkers dogs trying to stop them chasing sheep or horses!!

If not, I’m down the local or sat in front of my TV screaming, ‘THAT’S NEVER A PENALTY!’ at the referee who never seems to hear me, unlike the neighbours!

Most recently I’ve taken up tennis, playing on an off for my local club. Great fun and a belting workout! Hoping to do Wimbledon at some point in the next few years.

It’d be smashing to hear from you and I look forward to booking you on your next dream cruise!
