and during that time we have seen many changes, and some amazing advances
within the cruise industry, which have all led to the increasing number of
UK passengers deciding to take a cruise.
We work directly with all the World's leading cruise lines and during
the last few years, we have also enjoyed a sustained period of growth,
and with our own dedicated office complex, we have consistently had the
freedom to meet the demands for expansion. This has meant that we have
continued to provide the very best advice, expertise, service and prices

Our dedicated team of cruise specialists are friendly and knowledgeable,
and, having travelled on many of the cruise lines that we work closely with,
have amassed a collective knowledge of nearly 100 years of experience. This

FAQ
This section of the site lists some of the most common questions that
customers have about the cruises we offer. Click on a question to
reveal the answers.
Q: How do I confirm my booking?
Having selected the Cruise of your choice we will confirm on the
telephone the availability of the Cruise, the relevant cabin numbers
available and the meal times that you require. Having obtained this
verbal confirmation you then advise us of your payment details and we
complete the booking on your behalf.
Q: Do I require a Passport or Visa?
A full British Passport is required for all passengers and it is
essential that the Passport is valid for a minimum period of six
months AFTER your return to the U.K. Please check the expiry date
of your current Passport. If you need to renew or extend the validity
of your Passport please allow at least one month for your application
to be processed. This facility is now available at most major Post
Offices who will process your application on your behalf for a modest
fee. U.K. Citizens will require Visas for a few destinations should
they wish to proceed ashore independently but in the vast majority of
instances these are not required. We would advise you to visit
www.fco.gov.uk
for further details on Visas before you travel.
Q: Do I require vaccinations and additional medicines?
Health regulations alter periodically with the improvements to the
standards of health and safety and we suggest that you check your
requirements with your local GP at least 12 weeks prior to your departure.
You can also contact the School of Tropical Medicine should one be available
near you or contact MASTA (Medical Advisory Service for Travelers Abroad)
at enquiries@masta.org who will issue advice on the requirements of your
individual destinations. It should be remembered that in some foreign
countries the general standards of hygiene and safety may differ from
those we accept as the "norm" in the U.K. Therefore exercise some common
sense and prudence when choosing to sample local cuisine. Kindly do not
indulge in any activity, which may give rise to some illness and perhaps
infringe on the conditions of your insurance policy.
Q: How much luggage can I take with me?
On any sailing commencing from a U.K. port you are not restricted to the
number of cases you take with you. However, do remember that your cases will
have to be accommodated with you in your cabins and with too many cases there
could be the problem of space! On any "fly cruise" the weight of luggage will
be determined by the requirements of the airline. Please don't forget the
weight and size of the presents you will be returning with from the various
destinations of your cruise!
Q: What should I wear?
The primary consideration in packing your case is that you are going on a
holiday to relax and therefore keep it simple! By day, we would advise
wearing casual wear and shorts for hot weather and importantly comfortable
shoes for your shore excursions and strolling on the decks. Cruising has
today become more relaxed and in the evening there will be a combination
of formal, informal and smart casual evenings. Some cruise lines now offer
completely informal sailings. Please call us for more details. Normally
there will be two formal nights in a 10/14 day Cruise where gentlemen will
wear a dress suit or tuxedo and the ladies are able to dress in all their
refinery.
However, if you do not take a dress suit don't worry, as a dark
lounge suit is perfectly acceptable. Informal nights require a jacket and
tie and smart casual nights allow gents to dress in a smart shirt and
trousers. We would advise you to thoroughly read the individual cruise
lines brochure detailing the dress code for that ship.
Q: I require a special diet - Can I arrange this prior to the Cruise?
Naturally, the Cruise Line can provide a wide variety of special
diets but you are requested to state at the time of the booking
the precise dietary requirements for the passengers on the reservation.
Meals form an important element of the cruise experience and the Cruise
Lines will attempt to accommodate all requests within the facilities
available.
Q: Do I require Travel Insurance?
All passengers must have adequate insurance against cancellation,
illness, loss of luggage etc. Should you elect to accept our comprehensive
and modestly priced insurance cover the premium must be paid at the time of
making the booking. If you choose to provide an alternative insurance you
must advise us the details of your insurers and the policy so that it may
be annotated in your Cruise booking. Insurance is a small cost for the
potential risks, which may arise, and it should be regarded as an essential
part of the holiday booking. Please ensure you double check the level and
type of cover offered by annual insurance, as some so not cover you
adequately.
Q: I have a physical disasbility - Can I still go on the Cruise?
If you require any form of assistance or are physically disabled you must
be accompanied by a passenger who will take responsibility for any assistance
required during the cruise or in an emergency. You should advise us of your
disabilities at the time of the booking, and, whether or not you require
assistance on departure or return to the U.K. port or airport. Please
remember the width restrictions of certain areas of the ship and the fact
that some ports of call require tenders to go ashore, may restrict wheelchair
bound passengers from going ashore. However, most ships do cater for partially
disabled passengers and they will seek to ensure that these passengers will
encounter the minimum of inconvenience.
Q: How will I go Ashore at the Ports of Call?
Most ships will seek to dock alongside the berth, which will enable
passengers to go ashore and return at liberty via the ships gangway.
Inevitably, with the larger vessels visiting the smaller ports the
ship will anchor at sea and launches will provide a free and frequent
service to the shore. You will be free to go and return at your leisure
whilst the ship is at anchor. Whilst the ship is in port all the ships
bars, restaurants and facilities (other that the ships duty-free shop)
will remain open for those passengers not proceeding to the shore. The
times of arrival and departure at the ports will be advised in the
daily bulletin and normally passengers may go ashore about an hour
after the ship arrival in port.
Q: Is the main destination I wish to visit always a Port?
This is normally the case but these are instances where the main
destination does not have a port - instances of this are: the port
for Rome is Civitavecchia / the port for Florence is Livorno / the
port for Monte Carlo or Nice is Villefranche. The main destinations
are about one hour away and in these instances a range of tours are
available at the excursion desk on the ship or a transfer bus is
offered at a small supplementary cost.
Q: What do I do about gratuities for the staff on the ship?
Providing a gratuity or "tip" is the traditional way of saying "thank you"
to the staff who have provided a service to you and ensured that you have
thoroughly enjoyed your holiday and cruise experience. These gratuities
are normally given to your cabin steward and the dining room stewards.
The level of the gratuities is entirely at your discretion but as a
general guide £3.75 per person travelling (adult only) per day is
considered normal dependant of course on the level of the service
you have received. You can of course tip anyone who goes the extra
mile to make your cruise one to remember. We would advise tipping
all those who give you that extra special treatment as their wages
are not the greatest and all tips received will be warmly welcomed.
Some cruise lines include all your tips. Again we would advise to
consult your brochure before travelling.
Q: What currency should I take with me on the Cruise?
Naturally on a Cruise you will visit a number of destinations and
countries who will all have their individual currencies. There is
a virtue is taking travellers cheques, which can be cashed both on
the ship and ashore. Furthermore, if they were lost you would normally
be able to replace them by reporting the loss to the originating Bank.
Regrettably, cash that is lost is not replaceable other than through a
claim with your insurers.
You may obtain the currency of your local
destination from the Pursers Office on board the ship but it is
suggested not to leave your need to change currency to the last
minute on the ship as they may have limited facilities. In most
destinations the Euro or United States dollar (dependent on where
you are travelling) is acceptable as a currency. You should however
be aware that the exchange rate could vary on a daily basis and
dependent on the exchange location you use.
Finally the Liverpool
Cruise Club and all their experienced staff are available to
assist you in booking your cruise and assisting you in all your
holiday requirements. We will spare no efforts to ensure that you
will enjoy a memorable holiday and one, which you will want to repeat
again and again.
