Horrible company

Horrible company. I have previously booked many cruises with them, however Jamie is the worst person I came accross.
I booked cruise for pur 50th wedding anniversary 1st August 2026. I explained to him about our health issues. He booked it s days taken full. He didn't inform us at all that the return flight on Easyjet from Barcelona to Luton (less then 2 hours flight) we had waiting time at the airport in Barcelona for MORE THAN 13 HOURS!!! YES 13 HOURS AND THE FLIGHT IS DELAYED BY 2 HOURS SO WE HAVE BEEN AT THE AIRPORT FOR 15 HOURS!!!!!!. M y husband recently had open heart surgery, 76 years old with other health issues. I have severe arthritis. He was made aware of these issues even then he never told us about the flight times, we didn't question because we trusted him. Please be aware before using this company 🙏
At the time when I called Iglu, I spoke to Jamie. I informed him it was our Golden wedding anniversary. I also gave him detailed information regarding our health issues. My husband had an open heart surgery 4 months ago. I have severe arthritis and lungs issues. We have limited mobility.
He told us briefly iternary BUT DIDN'T MENTION FLIGHT TIMES, THAT WE WILL LEAVE FROM THE SHIP BY LATEDT 9AM AND THE FLIGHT IS AT 10.40PM!!!!!! WE DIDN'T QUESTION HIM BECAUSE WE HAVE USED THIS COMPANY MANY TIMES PREVIOUSLY.

It was much later we realised that the waiting time at the airport was 13 hours!!!!!!!!!!! We couldn't do anything about it. The flight was further delayed 2 hours, hence we were at the airport for 15 HOURS....15 HOURS sat there with severe body ache.
Even when after booking and having made full payment, I was unable to get through to Iglu with queries such as flight information, label tags for suitcases, private transfer vouchers etc. I used to hold on the the phone for 30 minutes then 45 minutes then 15 minutes. Attempted 6 to 7 times. Finally my daughter managed to speak yo someone who explained about doing it on line!!!

Horrible experience. Extremely anxious and frustrating for 2 elderly people 🙃

I have used Cruise 1st also. They are much better than Iglu. I wish I had booked with them.

A very smooth transaction

A very smooth transaction, Sam White was very helpful and understood exactly what I wanted. Her knowledge of cruising makes it a pleasure to deal with Iglu. I shall definitely be back for my next cruise.

Obsolete and frustrating website and…

Obsolete and frustrating website and booking system.

They charge abusive cancellation fees, and their 'human' customer support is painfully slow.

I can't recommend this company, if you want to do a reservation with a specific cruise company please do so directly with them or any other company except for this one.

Paul couldn’t have been more helpful

Paul couldn’t have been more helpful. He is patient, very knowledgeable and his customer service is excellent. He found us the perfect cruise and the booking process was made very easy. Thank you for everything.

Love the website easy to use lots of information

First time I've booked with iglu cruises but I love their website.
I search for all my cruises via this site but generally book through the the cruise company themselves.
This time though iglu cruises was £200 per person cheaper than the cruise companies website so choice to give them a go.
I initially made a mistake in choosing the wrong cabin but emailed them and Caroline sorted it out very quickly with no fuss.
So very happy with service and communication up to now.

Antarctic cruise

I called them after looking at lots of different cruises. I found them very helpful and they helped us decide on our next cruise.

Cancelling booking the following day…

Cancelling booking the following day cost me an 82 yr old 50%of total cost regardless of being an IGLU customer for a long time.T & Cs always favour businesses not really the customer.IGLU collected PAYMENTS straightaway but now it's going to take " within 45 days" to get my balance.
I'm not satisfied.
happy....Peter.

Returning Customer

We have booked several holidays through Iglu Cruises and never had a problem. We like the fact that all hotels, transfers and flights (as well as the cruise) are all organised for us. All we need to do is turn up!
