Our Preferred Travel Agent

Dan Hammond

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce  you to  our preferred travel agent Dan. Having travelled for many years and using several different travel companies and  agents, we discovered there is more to being a travel agent than just getting the cheapest price. Personal service combined  with competitive pricing is far more important – a wealth of knowledge combined with availability, continuity and a super sense of humour is what we have found in Dan

Our Logo Creator

We first met Steve and his wife Wendy on our New England and Canada cruise in September 2022. Sometime later we contacted Steve about the possibility of creating a new logo for us. We wanted to make it more personalised, but we also wanted to keep it light hearted.

Many months passed while we made up our minds, but finally we gave Steve some photographs and a rough outline of what we would like. Within a week (and with a bit of toing and froing) we were sorted.

Channel 4 Documentary

Towards the end of 2020 when we were all missing cruising very badly we were contacted by a company working on behalf of Channel 4 and we were invited to take part in a documentary about cruising and the effects that the pandemic was causing to the industry. We were interviewed at home under strict covid regulations by a film crew of two  and the interview was conducted remoteley. The whole process lasted over four hours and here are a few snippets of the program we appeared in.
