Thanks Bryce! So pleased you had an awesome experience. Thanks for sharing 🙂
We have travelled quite a bit but have always visited a Travel Agency, this is our first experience of dealing with an agent by telephone and I admit to initially being a little apprehensive. As it turned out our travel was 100% trouble free and as planned, the agent we were dealing with totally exceeded our expectations, we made changes to our booking but absolutely nothing was too great an issue.

Thank you Murray for your kind words. We're super proud of our amazing deals and Kay is a real treasure!
Shelley arranged a NZ Ak to Sydney cruise for us. Everything worked out according to the plan and we loved our first cruise. Accommodation in Sydney was lovely and the breakfast was the best. Shelley made sure we met any deadlines and made the whole process very easy. Thank you so much Shelley and Cruise Deals.

Thank you Trudi - Shelley is a gem 🥰
We want to say a huge thank you to Jo at Cruise Deals NZ. She has gone above and beyond for our group of 12, who are going on the Disney Cruise. We needed x5 staterooms and she managed to get us all close together, and we even got on-board credit, which was fabulous. Her communication was prompt and informative, with everything we needed to know. We can't recommend her enough, and look forward to future dealings with her 😊⭐
Approachable, friendly, knowledgeable, good cruise and trip prices, would recommend

Really appreciate the kind words, Tani! It’s great to know our service and cruise deals hit the mark for you. Thanks for recommending us – we look forward to helping with your next holiday!
Outstanding service by the lovely Shelley Knight from Cruise Deals . The Cruise well exceeded our expectations in every way and was such a fabulous ship ,the accomodation booked in New York was fantastic as the location was perfect as in Barcelona and all flights great too. Booking through Cruise Deals is the way to go as they source the very best deals but don’t skimp on quality of the ships or land accomodation .We were also able to add on extra days after our cruise finished to see other places we wanted to so this was so great.
Also don’t be worried that once you have booked and paid that the company wont help you(unlike other companies ) with any further queries you may have …as Shelly was so helpful with anything I asked .
We would highly recommend Cruise Deals and we can’t wait to book our next trip with them….we have come home with precious memories and it was made easy …thank you .

We’re so glad everything came together just right – from the cruise and flights to those perfectly located hotels and the chance to explore a bit more afterwards. It’s great to hear how easy and stress-free it all felt, and that Shelley was there to support you every step of the way.
Thanks again for your kind words and for recommending us – it really means the world. We can’t wait to help you plan your next adventure!
Warm wishes,
