Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why should I book my cruise through Exclusively Cruising rather than directly with a cruise line?

Booking with Exclusively Cruising gives you access to personalised advice, extensive industry knowledge and a dedicated cruise specialist who looks after your travel arrangements from start to finish. With over 40 years of experience in the travel industry, including more than 20 years specialising in cruising, I can help you navigate the many cruise lines, ships and itineraries available to find the right holiday for you. You'll also have one point of contact should you have questions or need assistance before or after your cruise.

2. Do you specialise in particular types of cruising?

As the name suggests, cruising is my specialty! I can assist with ocean, river, luxury, small-ship and expedition cruising, from popular destinations to more remote and adventurous parts of the world. I have a particular passion for small-ship and expedition cruising, where the experience is often more intimate and destination-focused. Whether you're looking for a relaxing river cruise through Europe, a luxury ocean voyage or an expedition to Antarctica, I can help you explore your options.

3. Can you help me choose the right cruise if I've never cruised before?

Absolutely! With so many cruise lines, ships and itineraries available, choosing your first cruise can feel overwhelming. I'll take the time to understand your interests, travel style, budget and expectations before recommending options that suit you. From selecting the right ship and cabin to understanding what's included in your fare, I'll guide you through the process so you can book with confidence.

4. Can you arrange flights, accommodation and other travel arrangements as part of my cruise holiday?

Yes! While cruising is my specialty, I can also assist with the travel arrangements that complement your cruise, including international and domestic flights, pre- and post-cruise accommodation, transfers, tours and travel insurance. Whether you're planning a simple cruise holiday or a more extensive itinerary with additional destinations, I can help bring the different elements together for a seamless travel experience.

5. Do you charge a fee for your services?

For more detailed or complex itinerary planning, a planning fee of $165 may apply. This fee is deducted from the cost of your booking should you proceed with your travel arrangements through Exclusively Cruising. My aim is to provide personalised recommendations, professional advice and ongoing support to ensure you receive the best possible service and find a cruise holiday that's right for you.
