As Travel Counsellors is an independent company, we have personal relationships with the world’s best cruise lines so we can tailor-make

whatever you desire!

WE ARE INDEPENDENT

Travel Counsellors are not tied in to any specific airlines, hotels, cruise lines or attractions providers so you can be absolutely confident that the holiday I recommend has been built to suit your

exact needs and budget.

COMPLETEPEACE OF MIND

At Travel Counsellors, our unique service extends well beyond simply booking your cruise holiday. I’m on hand 24 hours a day from the moment you get in touch with your travel plans to the moment you arrive back at your front door, post-cruise. There’s always someone to help, so you can

relax and enjoy your holiday.

EXPERT ADVICE ON THE BEST CRUISE TO SUIT YOU

Whether you’re new to cruising or not, I’ll take the time to understand what you like and what you don’t. From the types of cabins available to the different cruise lines, I’ll discuss your needs and craft a

holiday that fits you perfectly.

YOUR MONEY IS COMPLETELY SAFE

Nobody protects your money like Travel Counsellors – in fact our unique financial protection is the very best in travel. Everything that you book with your Travel Counsellor is completely protected, so all you’ll need to worry

about is what you’re going to pack!

Ocean to River... 5 reasons to try a river cruise

1 ) You adore rooms with a view Almost all cabins on river cruises offer a view and even the

rooms under the waterline add a wonderful, whimsical touch

to your journey – there’s nothing quite like spotting little

webbed feet out of your porthole as a duck drifts by!

2) You want to stay in a luxury, spacious cabin Although river cruise liners are smaller, the cabins tend

to be larger than those on ocean-going ships. The

luxurious fittings, décor and facilities create elegant

rooms which wouldn’t be amiss in a 5-star hotel, while

the open balconies offer breathtaking views.

3) You love city breaksCruise past spectacular city landscapes, hop off to

explore everything the city has to offer, then sail away

to your next cultural gem! With a river cruise you

dock in the city so transfer times are short and you

can explore cities larger ships can’t access.

4) You’re adventurous River cruises might have a reputation for gently drifting

along the tame waters but these luxurious ships will

surprise adventure-seekers. Intrepid travellers can

explore the Amazon, the Mekong river, the Irrawaddy and

many more exotic delights by river.

5) You enjoy meeting peopleOne of the advantages of the smaller size of river cruise ships

is that you are travelling with like-minded people. Friendly staff

and fellow travellers make for a wonderful combination and means

there’s always someone to share travelling tales with.

What can you expect from the next generation of ships? From stunning new vessels to ships with eco-friendly fuel usage, read on to find out some of the exciting new sailings and ships we’re looking forward to!

CELEBRITY CRUISES Watch out for two new luxury small ships coming in 2018 and 2020. Though small in size, these ships will focus on the amenities more commonly associated with larger ships, while exploring small ship itineraries. Expect exquisite food, luxurious accommodation, first-class service and a list of exciting destinations.

P&O CRUISESScheduled to set sail in 2020 is P&O Cruises' largest cruise ship, a sleek new vessel that can hold 5,200 passengers. While few details have been released, the 180,000-ton ship is being designed for the British market and we can’t wait to find out what P&O Cruises have in store!

SEABOURN ENCORESeabourn’s newest vessel, Encore, launched at the end of 2016 – and the innovative, luxurious ship looks to be even more opulent than the rest of Seabourn’s fleet. This beautiful ship features 12 expansive decks and 300 suites, with a maiden season including 16-day Holy Land and Arabian Gems, a 26-day Gems of the Java and Coral Seas, and 16-day Australia and New Zealand.

SCENIC Named the Eclipse, Scenic’s newest ship will launch in 2018, with space for 228 passengers. Renowned for their outstanding customer service, Eclipse will also carry almost the same ratio of crew-to-passengers to ensure that guests are well looked after. What can you expect on Scenic’s new ship? An ice-strengthened hull, twin helicopters, an aft marina with a fleet of Zodiacs and a seven-person submarine, all this as well as all-suite cabins with balconies and butler service; six restaurants; a heated pool with retractable roof, and a 240-seat theatre are just a few of the spectacular sights to look forward to.

HURTIGRUTEN In partnership with Rolls Royce, Hurtigruten is creating new eco-friendly ships, with the first vessels expected to arrive in 2018 and 2019. Designed to lead the cruise industry into a new era of sustainability and environmentally friendly practices, these new ships will sail with hybrid technology, including electric propulsion to help reduce the impact on the Arctic and Antarctic regions.

UNFORGETTABLE

LUXURYOpulent ships, impeccable service and exquisite dining all add to the enduring

appeal of a luxury cruise. Smaller ships open up additional routes

and harbours so you can enjoy stunning vistas from luxurious

surroundings.

Galápagos Enjoy a luxury cruise that offers a trip back through time as you explore the remote islands that inspired Charles Darwin. A Galápagos cruise gives you an amazing opportunity to get up close to the spectacular scenery and unique and fearless wildlife of these beautiful islands.

Trek along lava fields, snorkel with sea lions, marvel at the giant tortoises, watch marine iguanas bask in the sun, and listen to

chatter of flamingos and the bellowing of elephant

seals. These startlingly beautiful coastlines are home

to tidal pools and saltwater lagoons, pelicans, penguins,

green sea turtles and many, many wonderful memories for you to

take home with you.

CaribbeanThe Caribbean is a classic cruise destination and choosing a luxury cruise means you can enjoy the yachting havens, sumptuous resorts and smaller islands that the big ships cannot reach. The promise of pristine white sand beaches fringed with swaying palms guarantee the Caribbean’s appeal.

But Caribbean cruise itineraries are surprisingly diverse: from the cloud forests of Costa Rica to the Mayan ruins of Central America, to historic forts and laid-back colonial ports.

The promise of pristine white sand beaches fringed with

swaying palms guarantee the Caribbean’s appeal

AlaskaExquisite service is combined with an awe-inspiring white wilderness on an Alaskan cruise.

Perfect for wildlife-lovers, tours take in the beautiful, raw landscape of the Denali National Park and give you an opportunity to spot breaching orcas or playful harbour seals from the deck. Enjoy fine dining on-board, under the romance of the star-studded night sky, and soak up the glorious wild scenery and rich history. Highlights of this magical cruise include a train ride through the Alaska Kenai Peninsula, wilderness safaris, and dog sledging.

Mediterranean There’s nothing quite like the golden-age glamour of the Mediterranean. Remind yourself of the beauty of the light that has inspired many artists, writers and poets, and hear again the siren’s call of Europe’s most beautiful cities as you relax and enjoy the ultimate in luxury cruising.

From the romantic coastline of Sorrento and Porto Fino to the unadulterated luxe of the French Riviera, history, luxury and the finest dining await you on shore. Early season cruises have itineraries designed to ensure you arrive in style for the Cannes Film Festival and Monte Carlo Grand Prix.

[Travelling on the Cunard Queen Mary 2] Our first experience of the renowned Cunard 'White Star Service' began the moment we stepped on-board when the white-gloved officers and crew greeted us with a smile and warm welcome. A wide range of entertainment awaits you, but my favourite had to be the dance lessons. I learned to Cha Cha Cha and line dance - later on in the cruise, we had the opportunity to showcase our new dancing skills. The Cunard team were so welcoming, knowledgeable and approachable. Nothing is too much trouble for them. All you have to do is ask. If you would like to experience a bygone era, get dressed up in your best clothes for formal night and dance to some fabulous music, whilst eating amazing food, mixing with like-minded travellers and making new

friends - Cunard is for you!

With cruise lines arranging everything from specialist activity programmes to

dining companions, cruise holidays offer solo travellers an exciting way

to explore the world.

A secure environment in which to socialise

You’re never likely to be the only one going solo on a cruise and, with staff always on hand to offer advice and keep you up to date with what’s happening on your ship, life on-board is a safe and friendly space in which to meet like-minded fellow passengers.

You’re well looked after on-boardMany cruise lines offer special singles lounges or singles activities to help you meet with

other passengers. Fred.Olson even employ

dance hosts on its staff to ensure you won’t feel

lonesome on the dancefloor!

Tailored activity programmes

In addition to special singles events and coffee mornings, on

the larger ships there is usually a whole programme of activities and events to choose from. Some cruise lines are exclusively for adults. On some smaller cruises, you’ll find it easy to get chatting with other guests over dinner, during themed activities or evenings with guest speakers.

Dining companions – if you want themSome ships organise dinner seating plans so that you are seated with other single travellers of a similar age. With other cruises, when dining on-board is a more casual affair, you are free to take your pick of the multiple dining options available, depending how sociable you’re feeling.

On some smaller cruises, you’ll find it easy to get chatting

with other guests over dinner, during themed activities or evenings with guest speakers.

It is increasingly easy to find single berth cabins and

some cruise lines even often single berth staterooms.

Safety in numbersA cruise gives you a lot of flexibility in terms of what excursions you take part in. If you’re feeling confident, you can head off on your own. In less familiar surroundings – or when you fancy a bit of company – join the ship’s shore excursions for a relaxing sightseeing experience, knowing you are in safe hands and making new friends.

Single cabins (and staterooms) without single supplementsIt is increasingly easy to find single berth cabins and some cruise lines even often single berth staterooms. Many cruise lines also offer fares without the hefty single supplements, while a few offer staterooms without a single supplement.

I’ve been on 18 ships and my favourite cruise line is Celebrity Cruises. It’s 5-star but relaxed, with no compulsory formal nights, and an average age of people in their fifties, so I fit the demographic!

Plus, the food is amazing.

Mark’s top tip: Wherever possible, go for select/anytime dining as sometimes you may not be hungry at the ship’s set times. You may have been on a full-day excursion and wish to relax a little before going to dinner, and you can choose to dine alone or with new people every night by varying the

size of table you pick.

A ROOMWITH A VIEW

A river cruise offers a gentle introduction to the joys of a cruise holiday. These

inspiring journeys give you a unique window into some of the world’s

most beautiful regions.

Mekong River CruiseThe legendary Mekong

river winds past stunning scenery from its source on the Tibetan plateau, past verdant plantations, ancient ruins and colonial cities until it meets the sea at Ho Chin Min City. Discover the colonial architecture of Saigon, admire Buddhist temples, float past thatch houses perched on wooden stilts, shop at floating markets from a skiff, and visit the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda at Phnom Penh. Many cruises also

offer an excursion to the unforgettable UNESCO

World Heritage Site of Angkor Wat at Siem Reap.

Rhône River CruiseThis classic European cruise

gives you an opportunity to visit some of France’s most beautiful

cities, surrounded by vineyards

and teased by the evocative scents of Provence’s pine forests and lavender fields. Discover the laid-back charms of

Explore the natural beauty, exotic wildlife and captivating

landscapes of the Peruvian stretch of the Amazon River...

Arles, the city that inspired Van Gogh, with its Roman amphitheatre. Take in the beautiful skyline of Avignon from the river and explore its fabled bridge and Palais de Pâpes. At Lyon, the Rhône meets the Saône, which takes you to charming Mâcon and medieval Beaune, to sample the best of the Burgundy wine region.

Amazon River CruiseYou can explore the Brazilian end of the Amazon on a cruise ship from the Caribbean but why not cruise through the Amazonian rainforest on board a luxururious river ship, instead?

Explore the natural beauty, exotic wildlife and captivating landscapes of the Peruvian stretch of the Amazon River, one of the most culturally and environmentally-diverse countries on earth. Journey through a countryside dotted with rural haciendas reserves teeming with wildlife, accompanied by the sounds of squirrel monkeys frolicking in the trees and glimpses of the river’s pink dolphins swimming alongside your ship.

Danube River CruiseDiscover why the Danube has inspired artists, poets, and musicians over centuries with a cruise along what’s known as the “Queen” of European rivers. Explore some of Europe’s grandest cities including the baroque buildings of Linz, Szentendre and Bratislava, the imperial palaces of Vienna, and the historic medieval town of Visegrád with its hilltop castle. Scenic treats include the Wachau Valley, the Danube Delta and the Hungarian Puszta, one of the largest stretches of meadowland in Europe. Begin or end your cruise in Budapest where you can enjoy one of this beautiful city’s elegant thermal spas and tour the former summer residence of the Hapsburgs at Gödöllo.

WE WANT TO STAY ON THE SHIP!

Wondering how your children will find sailing the seven seas? With children’s

clubs, activities galore, and plenty of new friends, you might find your

little ones are so excited by life on-board that they don’t want

to leave…

Children’s ClubsMost cruise lines offer free children’s clubs, with fully trained members of staff to make sure your little ones are in safe hands – and having a great time. You’ll find separate clubs for different age groups, with free daily children’s clubs usually catering for ages two to 17. The clubs tend to operate in specific zones on each ship, so children can run around, make new friends, and try

lots of new activities all in one place.

What happens each day at the clubs? It’s a delight of

music, sports, and giggles! Some of the exciting on-board

activities include discos, sports challenges, dance classes, and

arts and craft projects.

BabysittersBabysitting facilities on cruise lines offer a perfect chance for mummy and daddy to nip away for a quiet meal together, safe in the knowledge that their little ones are being entertained or taking a nap!

Some cruise lines offer complimentary babysitting services while others charge an hourly rate. P&O Cruises offer a free night nursery to care for little ones aged six months to four years (on some ships it’s available until 2am!). Cunard’s night nursery, meanwhile, looks after children aged six months to 23 months and parents receive a pager so that the nursery staff can stay in touch.

Babysitting facilities on cruise lines offer a perfect chance for

mummy and daddy to nip away for a quiet meal...

Adventures on-boardCycling? Water slides? Film nights? Your little ones might just find there are too many activities to pack into their cruise holiday!

Alongside the on-board children’s clubs, there are lots of facilities to entertain both younger and older children. Carnival has a thrilling waterpark (complete with scary slides) and Seuss At Sea, with the wonderfully whimsical Dr. Seuss and his friends adding a charming touch to voyages. Aspiring screenwriters and directors will be enthralled with Celebrity Cruises® iTake video project, while their dedicated Xbox stations will delight young gamers!

We cruised with Carnival for the first time in summer 2016 (on Carnival Vista around the Mediterranean). We thought it looked amazing - fabulous for our children (aged 14 and 11 years) – and we couldn’t believe what amazing value for money it was compared to going to an all-inclusive hotel. As a family we don’t really like to holiday all-inclusive as we all like to eat out and go out sightseeing and experiencing different things but we decided to book it, along with a few days in Salou to visit Port Aventura Theme Park and a couple of days after the cruise in Barcelona. We had an amazing time! As soon as we got on board we loved it - we enjoyed great food, amazing entertainment and lots of family fun. The children have said they can’t wait to go on another one and it was the best

holiday they’ve ever had.

Juneau

Vancouver

Skagway

Day 1 Fly direct with British Airways from the UK to Vancouver. Transfer to Sutton Place Hotel for a three night stay.

Day 4 Vancouver It seems unlikely that a character named "Gassy Jack"

Deighton would be responsible for one of the most beautiful cities on the continent. But that's history for you. During the gold rush, Gassy Jack saw a chance to make money from the hordes of miners on their way to the Yukon. The saloon he built became the focus of the shanty town known as Gastown. From that ragtag group of shacks, modern Vancouver was born. Canada's third-largest city, Vancouver is a cosmopolitan place with a European feel and a personality all its own. It's a community with a rich ethnic mix - including the second-largest Chinatown in North America - and stunningly beautiful parks.

Day 5 At Sea Day 6 Juneau In 1880, it was slow going for Joe Juneau and Richard

Harris as they searched for gold with the help of Native guides. After climbing mountains, forging streams and facing countless difficulties, they found nuggets "as large as beans." From their discovery came three of the largest gold mines in the world.

Day 7 Skagway Skagway was the gateway to the gold fields for the

thousands who flocked to Alaska and the Yukon with the hope of striking it rich.

Day 8 At SeaDay 9 Ketchikan Ketchikan is known as Alaska's "First City" because it's

the first major community travellers come to as they journey north. Located on an island, Ketchikan began life as an Indian fishing camp. The name Ketchikan comes from a Tlingit phrase that means "eagle with spread-out wings", a reference to a waterfall near town.

Day 10 At SeaDay 11 Vancouver Disembark and transfer to Sandman Hotel Vancouver

City Centre for one night.Day 12 Campbell River Transfer to Comfort Inn & Suites Campbell River

for one night followed by two nights at Knight Inlet Lodge where you will experience Whale Watching and Grizzly Bear viewing.

Day 15 Transfer to Vancouver airport for your direct flight back to the UK.

LITTLE ENGLAND & THE SOUTHERN

CARIBBEAN

I T I N E R A R Y

Day 1 Fly direct with Virgin Atlantic from the UK to Barbados. Transfer to Waves Hotel & Spa By Elegant Hotels for a seven night stay.

Day 8 Barbados High tea and cricket in the afternoons remains a

tradition on the very British island of Barbados, also called the "Little England" of the Caribbean. The Bajan landscape, with its breathtaking panoramas of oceans and valleys, and endless pink- and white-sand beaches, is one of the most majestic in the Southern Caribbean.

Day 9 St Lucia Lush green hills, black sand beaches, tranquil

blue lagoons and pink melting sunsets. This rainbow of colours can only be found on the unspoiled tropical retreat that is St. Lucia. Visitors are always awed by the array of hues offered by nature. Of course, there's equal grandeur in its magnificent coastline and famous twin mountains known as the Pitons.

Day 10 St Kitts

Day 11 St. Maarten St. Maarten is divided between French St. Martin

in the north and Dutch St. Maarten in the south. Both sides of this 37-square-mile island offer beautiful ocean vistas, gourmet cuisines, first-rate water sports and beaches, and some of the best duty-free shopping in the world.

Day 12 San Juan Historic San Juan, once nothing more than

cobblestone streets and the distinctive architecture of the Spanish who founded it, is now a modern world capital. Among the peaceful shaded courtyards and commanding colonial fortresses of El Morro and San Cristobal, you'll find a cosmopolitan city of wide boulevards, lively cafes, highly regarded galleries and designer boutiques.

Day 13 St. Thomas, USVI Not all of St. Thomas' treasures are buried. Most

of them are right in the open on this gorgeous island, home of the infamous Bluebeard's Tower. Whether looking for jewels, crystal, perfume and fine wines in the shops of Charlotte Amalie, or soaking up the sun on the incredible beaches, you'll marvel at the wealth of history on this treasure-filled paradise.

Day 14 At Sea

Day 15 Barbados Disembark and transfer to the airport for your

direct flight back to the UK.
