I highly recommend Brendan to anyone planning a cruise. His service is truly top-notch, and I’ll definitely be booking future trips with him!
I had an absolutely fantastic experience working with my cruise travel agent Brendan! From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me plan the perfect trip. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, offered excellent recommendations, and handled every detail with care — cabin selection, dining options, flights and transferees.
What impressed me most was his professionalism and patience. No question was too small, and every step of the planning process felt easy and stress-free. Thanks to his expertise.

Brendan took a lot of time with us to go through the various options for our first cruise and find the best one for us. We really appreciate his years of experience and expert guidance. Hopefully the cruise will live up to his excellent service!

First class service once again from Brendan - we wouldn’t want to book our cruise with anyone else. Brendan’s experience, expertise, knowledge and advice are excellent and we have total confidence in his ability to sort out the best cruise for us. John and Dorma.

We have booked holidays many times with Brendan. He’s amazing, once again knowing exactly what sort of holiday we love and the accommodation we like to stay in. So friendly and knowledgeable and we know that we can relax now knowing everything is in hand. Just looking forward to our tickets arriving.

I have used Brendan again this year to book our cruise for next year even though we haven’t been on this years cruise yet. He takes time to go through different options and dates to find what best suits our budget and travel ideas. Nothing seems to be a bother and doesn’t put any pressure on you to book.

Brendan, in our opinion, cannot be bettered in the level of care and service he provides.
He is always quick to acknowledge a communication, always quick with a response.
Nothing is too much trouble.
We would not give our bookings to anyone else.

If I could reward more than 5 stars I would!! This is our 3rd time booking a cruise with Brendan and he has been fantastic. So friendly, patient and efficient. He responds to queries in an extremely timely manner and has often gone above and beyond, helping us out well beyond office hours. We have always felt 100% secure and safe in his bookings, allowing us to truly enjoy our holidays with no hassle or stress. Brendan is professional, organised and extremely helpful. I would never consider booking again without his input. A true gent!

Amazing service from Brendan! Informative, providing all options for our cruise booking and a little bit of personal advice for good measure. Friendly and took his time to explain app downloads, payment options and added extras. Made a minefield so much easier. A++++
