Our most important asset is you… our customer. Without you, we would not and could not exist in business. We are sincerely grateful for each new enquiry, and for every recommendation to family, friends and colleagues. We are passionate about cruising, and our dedicated team will look after you at all times. By listening carefully to you, we go the extra mile to find cruising solutions which match the lifestyle, budget and individual requirements of all our clients, whether you are new to cruises, or seasoned travellers.
Why book with us?
The Travel Academy prides itself on:
• Honesty, transparency and offering a bespoke and personalised service
We always pick up your call as quickly as we can, without putting you on hold with annoying music or a pre-recorded message. We do not operate any call centres, in the UK or overseas – we offer good old-fashioned, friendly service.
• Experienced and knowledgeable team members Collectively, we can draw upon more than 60 years’ experience. This does not make us old – but it does mean we have all had many opportunities to cruise, for work and pleasure. Our team have in-depth knowledge of all the cruise ships we work with, as well as access to worldwide itineraries and promotions. And we are delighted to share that knowledge with you.
• Robust and trusting relationships with our cruise line suppliers We focus on partnerships with a select number of cruise companies, all of which exhibit the same exacting standards we set for ourselves.
• Loyal client relationships In the past, most guests were retired and many were well into their 80s. We even recall a 94-year-old who left his wife at home to go on a Caribbean cruise with his wife’s twin sister! Nowadays, cruising is truly multi-generational and we are proud that 75 per cent of all new business comes from our loyal guests and from their personal recommendations to family, friends and associates. The Travel Academy team are good listeners and are always focused on what’s best for the guest. We are flexible in our approach and work with all customers to make the right choices in the most cost-effective way.
