New to Cruise …. Where to Start? ……. Package Holiday vs Cruise

Having come from a Travel Agent background, I have spoke to many different customers for all different types of holidays, from your holiday parks in the UK, to a flight only to Australia, to a 5* hotel on the beach in the middle of nowhere, so I completely understand how daunting it can be to plan not just any holiday but your dream holiday …. something you may have been saving and wanting for a long time …… and what is most important is that your dream holiday will be completely different to what your friends or family for example may be looking for …. so where do you start and why is this relevant to being new to cruise? Here is why ….

A cruise holiday I believe is the most fascinating way of travelling and seeing the world with everything at your doorstep, however when you initially start to plan there are so many different options to choose from and they can all offer something different depending on your specific requirements….

For me the most important question I ask my customers is “What is important to you?”  This works the same for a cruise ……. I like to relate holidays you like to travel on, where you have been before, what you enjoy the most about your holiday, what you are looking for this time from your holiday so I can relate this to which cruise line I can confidently recommend to you …. The cruise lines do all offer something different however this type of holiday can be tailored to you ….
