Also bespoke cruise & land packages and bespoke cruise & rail packages. Fully bonded, no booking fees, exclusive discounts. Hello, my name is Lorraine & I am an independent cruise consultant based in Wokingham, Berkshire. Having worked as a travel agent for over 30 years, with both independents and chain agencies, I have to say, I much prefer the freedom & flexibility I can give you being an indep

endent. I have worked with Cruise & Travel holidays for 15 years, and still get as excited about booking cruises today as I did back then. Cruise is not just my job, it’s my passion. I am lucky to have experienced many cruises. For every cruise line, I have been on at least one of their ships - on personal holidays, FAM trips and ship tours, and I do love them all, but, having experienced Seabourn, Silversea, Crystal, Windstar, Oceania, and Azamara, in different capacities, these to me are what a true cruise holiday experience should be, and this is why I dedicate my time & website to them, and river cruise, which is also a favourite holiday experience of mine. Having been on a few river cruises, including; Uniworld, AMA Waterways, Emerald Cruises, A’Rosa, and European Waterways, I can say with certainty, they are THE best way to travel through the countries of Europe & beyond. I aim to book my clients on cruises that I too would love. So, if you would love a true holiday, where you can escape life, and return home feeling relaxed & refreshed, then you are in the right place.

"Travel agents are expensive"
"We don't need a travel agent"
"I can book this myself"

Ugh 😩 As an independent travel agent with 30 years experience, this upsets me.

We really hope beyond hope that nothing goes wrong with your holiday, but what if it does!?

I've read so many horror stories, and then people don't know where to turn.
We all know large corporations are a real nightmare to get hold of, in any industry, especially when you have a complaint! Plus, they earn way too much money, so let's spread the joy to small businesses a little too 😍🥳

A travel agent has your back, we do all the leg work and hard work for you - for FREE! (In general, as I know some agents have started charging fees for their hard work & service).
I do not charge a fee, which means I can offer the same price, or better, as any cruise line. We often have exclusive deals too, which means you save even more!

As an independent agent, supported by Cooperative travel, and Travel Leaders behind me, I am not tied to sell any one cruise line, As long as they are ABTA & ATOL bonded, I can book them all.

Planning a cruise can be fun, but it can also be time consuming and overwhelming. This is where I come in. With my 15 year cruise experience, and a consultation, I cut through the cruise lines you don't want, and go straight for the one you do. We give a personalised experience from start to finish.

I only sell cruises I would go on myself, so you know you are getting the best, and the best value for your money.

Are you a cruise pro who has a favourite all-time cruise line? No problem, I can book your cruise with your loyalty number and get those valuable points added, so you don't miss out on any perks.
So, there really is no reason to work with me

"My husband and I cruised with Azamara last May, we spent 7 nights on the Azamara Onward. Cruising round-trip Ravenna, Italy, we visited spectacular Croatia & its Islands, including; Dubrovnik, Hvar, and Split, and also into Kotor, Montenegro.

Cruising into Kotor was magnificent; a deep canyon surrounded by steep cliffs with mountain peaks beyond. Finally through a narrow gorge into the scenic bay of Kotor. The photos don’t do it enough justice!" Continue reading...
