Find Your Perfect Cruise

Will I be able to contact the outside world?

Passengers will be able to stay in touch with the outside world whilst on a cruise just as much as they would on any other holiday.

Most cruise ships have internet access, sometimes at an extra cost, allowing passengers to stay in touch with their emails and social media. Most will have internet cafes and Wi-Fi areas or hot-spots on their ships allowing you to connect to the internet via your mobile phone, tablet or laptop.

Many cruise ships also have satellite link ups allowing passengers to see the latest current affairs and sports events. Many of the Cruise lines this year were able to broadcast the Football World Cup live due to this type of technology.

Usually a ship will also provide a newsletter, letting passengers know the main topics of current affairs as well as what is happening onboard ship.

Staterooms will have access to a telephone and mobile phones should remain functional if they are enabled for roaming. It is worth noting, however, that this function almost always reflects a higher tariff and fee dependent upon your mobile phone service provider.

A cruise is never too far away from a port and the most tourist friendly will normally provide access to newspapers from around the world.

Service and staff were magic

Sean from the Belfast branch was great the whole way throughout. We kept making changes to dates and how may people were going which messed up rooms and hotels and Sean never batted an eyelid to help us. He has done us big turn really appreciate it. He’s got the whole thing booked for us under budget and staying in far nicer places than we were expecting will definitely be back because of it. Was always available to help whether it was in the branch, over the fone or email, were all bizz with the holiday. Big shout out to Eamon in the same branch who was another great help and really enjoyed his company as well. Great team and a great run company will 100% be booking all my big holidays through here.
