Ready for your Cruise Escape?
Cruise Escapes specialises in discovering unbeatable deals and crafting stress-free journeys to enchanting destinations.
We founded Cruise Escapes after encountering less-than-ideal experiences with larger travel agents. Understanding the importance of exceptional customer service, we are here to turn your travel dreams into reality and ensure your trip exceeds expectations, supporting you every step of the way.
As cruise holiday experts, we are dedicated to providing outstanding service, extensive knowledge, personalised experiences, and securing the best deals for you. Let us be your trusted companions in making your travel dreams come true.
Our agency is run by us - George & Dan so you'll benefit from our cruise knowledge and experience. We won't pass you to a host agency providing an impersonal service. Your holiday is important to you, you work hard for it and so its important to us too. We will be there throughout to make sure its a holiday to remember!
Financially protected via PTS (5434) & ATOL.
Why us?
Planning a cruise vacation might seem overwhelming, especially if you're new to cruising. There are different cabin grades, dining options, gratuities to consider, and figuring out what's covered in your cruise cost. Our goal is to ensure you have a clear understanding of your booking. We're here to answer your questions, address any worries you have, and make sure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process.
We aim to simplify your cruise vacation planning, so we'll communicate with you in the way you prefer. We'll only give you a call for payment matters or important updates, ensuring you're not bothered by marketing calls. Your convenience is our priority.
The important bits
When serving UK customers, we make sure to follow package travel regulations that guarantee consumer protection for both local and international travel experiences. This covers all kinds of travel, whether by land or without flights, ensuring that we stay compliant with the rules.
If your booking includes flights, rest assured that it's ATOL protected. We want you to know that we're all about looking out for you. Our main focus is keeping you safe as a traveler.
