Cruise118 carries a wealth of expertise and experience, ensuring you will enjoy the best possible service when you speak to us. We go above and beyond to make every aspect of your booking run as smoothly as possible, making sure we find you the right destination and the right ship. Cruise118 aims to deliver everything you would expect from a cruise retailer; the latest information about cruise holidays, advice on which cruise line and cabin type to take and great cruise deals. It also aims to deliver more. Our customer research shows that the quality of service expected and delivered on the actual cruise ships is lacking in cruise retailing. Cruise118 has therefore built a strong service ethic into the heart of its business and created the concept of the Cruise Concierge. Exceptional is our standard.

Disgusted with cruise 118 website and dealing with staff. Wanted to book celebritycruise. Selected balcony and was allocated room 7104 and Website said up to £500 onboard credit. But when I rang to confirm this the member of staff said there was no onboard credit at all. Cruise118 very happy to deceive customers. This must surely be a trading standards issue. I have now booked the same cruise with Iglu, won’t be using Cruise118 again.

Poor afterservice.

Great company when selling you a cruise but terrible customer service for any changes. They have spelt my wife's name wrong on 2 x booked cruises coming up. Only just noticed when looking at some dates. Its Impossible to change on line. I Phoned up, left on hold for ages then get cut off. So i tried the live web chat, thats a complete waste of time. Keeps telling you an agent will be with you soon. You keep waiting, then it says end of chat !! Not happy with this company and cannot recommend due to the afterservice.

Dear Valued Guest,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We are genuinely sorry to hear about your experience. We fully understand how frustrating it must be to encounter difficulties when trying to make amendments, particularly regarding something as important as passenger name details.

We are very sorry that you experienced long wait times and issues with both phone and live chat support. This is certainly not the level of after‑sales service we aim to provide, and your comments have been noted so they can be reviewed internally.

We would welcome the opportunity to resolve this matter for you. Please contact our Customer Relations team directly via email - customer.relations@worldtravelholdings.co.uk, quoting your booking reference, so we can review the name amendments and assist you further.

We will await your response.

Kind Regards
Customer Relations.

Fantastic customer service

I could have tried different companies but having had a long and very informative conversation with Jennifer who is a delight to talk with , I have booked today with what I believe is a very reasonable price . Nothing is too much trouble and she was very patient explaining everything.
I would definitely recommend Jennifer and Cruise118 .

Terrible company and organisation

The cruise company deemed it suitable for us to wait int the airport for 12 hours before our flight. Oh and they ignored our complaint upon arriving home just fobbed us off... The airport was not equipped with lockers so that we could leave our luggage and explore but instead we were stuck in a 3rd world airport for a solid 12 hours with nothing to do... I will never pick this cruise company.... Try Love It Book It they have a trip organised on the last day if your flight is later on.... They are great

Dear Guest,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

We understand how frustrating and uncomfortable a long wait at the airport can be, particularly when facilities are limited. We appreciate how disappointing this must have felt after your cruise and are sorry that the arrangements did not meet your expectations.

Cruise line flight schedules and airport arrangements are sometimes limited due to operational constraints, however we do expect any concerns raised to be handled thoroughly and respectfully.

We are sorry if you felt your complaint was not addressed appropriately, if you have not already contacted us at Customer Relations, please do so on the following email address -customer.relations@worldtravelholdings.co.uk

Kind regards,
