Jemma is a role model superstar

Well what a breath of fresh air Jemma was, helpful, knowledgeable and quick. Very reassuring. I've done many cruises and sometimes after sales can be poor but not with cruise nation!

Janine saves the day !

Advisor Janine was absolutely superb when
(even after a few days of trying )
I just couldn't book transfers from ship to airport with Holland America
I found it absolutely impossible.

After phoning Janine
(who was very understanding of my plight)
it was soon sorted in a very friendly & professional manner .
Thank you Janine

My ‘Go to’ OTA for cruise holidays!

I have used Cruise nation around 8 or nine times now and you can’t beat them for value for money! We have a cruise booked for end of April to Japan (a 60th birthday treat). I wanted a different hotel in Tokyo and was in touch with Kimberley at Cruise Nation customer service. She honestly couldn’t do enough for me! She was extremely helpful and gave me a number of options to choose from. Within about 5 minutes I had the payment link and confirmation. Thanks so much!

Cruise Nation have been extremely helpful with any questions and queries that we have regarding our booking. Right from the word go, (October 2025) Charlene Joyce was very helpful when completing the actual booking as we required 2 cabins. Following this we were transferred to Kimberley in Customer Services (unfortunately don't have her surname), who has been most helpful with all my queries (of which there have been a few!) being very quick to answer and sorting anything which we have been unsure of.

I had been looking for a Virgin cruise on the interner.

What a treat to deal with someone professional 👌

What can I say Scott Martin is amazing he sorted out a great deal with Virgin.
I have done nearly 70 cruises I wish I had met Scott years ago.
