First Time Cruisers

Ready to take your first cruise and don't know where to start? Well, you have come to the right place! 

Why Choose a Cruise?

We understand more than anyone the endless benefits that come with cruising. Not only does it offer extraordinary value for money, rivalling any land holiday, but it also offers the convenience of hassle-free travel to an array of destinations. Imagine waking up to a brand new setting each day, unpacking only once, all whilst relishing in exquisite cuisine, top-notch service and world-class entertainment. It’s no wonder cruising has become the preferred holiday of choice for so many.

Key things to consider when choosing your first cruise:

1. Cruise Line

Each Cruise Line offers something unique from the rest. Our team of Cruise Experts can pair you with the perfect match that will exceed your own personal wants and desires.

2. Destination

Explore many places in one magical trip with flights and sailings from the UK. From the Med, the Fjords and the British Isles to longer trips to Alaska, the Caribbean, Asia and beyond.

3. Type of Cruise

With ultra-luxury smaller sized ships, action-packed ground-breaking ships, family favourites, adults only sailings and... there really is the perfect cruise for everyone!

Our Cruise Experts are well-travelled and have first-hand experience of the cruises we sell, as well as the destinations, airlines and hotels we use. Combined with a wealth of experience selling cruises and a reputation for providing first class service, our Cruise Experts will ensure you choose the cruise most suited to your needs and are on hand to answer any questions you may have about tipping, dress code, cabin types, shore excursions, dining options and much more.

    Mr Simpson / July 2026

    Thanks Sean

    Sean in your castle court branch Belfast who looked after us was amazing, he had so much patience, checking different itineraries for us and had lots of advice and recommendations. Nothing was to much bother. We felt unpressured and Sean was very understanding as we left for a coffee to chat it over only to come back and book 30 mins later. Sean is brilliant character and an assest to your team. We felt really confident when booking with him.

    Mr & Mrs Donaghy / July 2026

    Happy Days are here again

    Excellent service in and 10 minutes later holiday booked and back out the door, if only someone had offered to pay it. Still nothing is ever perfect but Stewart Travel is as good as it gets.
