Book your next cruise with us (and a real expert)
After years of sailing, reviewing ships and answering your cruise questions, the one we get asked most is simple: "Who should we book with?" So we've teamed up with The Cruise Globe to give you an answer we're genuinely happy to put our name to.
When you book through our link, you get a real cruise advisor who looks after you from your first question to the moment you're home. No call centres, no booking fees and no being passed from pillar to post. Just someone who knows cruising inside out and works to find you the right ship, the right cabin and the best possible price.
Transparency note: Tom and Dom Travel are partnered with The Cruise Globe. If you book through our link we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It never changes the price you pay.
What makes The Cruise Globe different
The Cruise Globe didn't start out as a travel agency. They started as a cruise app used by over 155,000 cruisers to track and relive every voyage they've ever taken, then built a full-service agency on top of it. That means the people helping you book are part of a community that lives and breathes cruising.
Here's what sets them apart:
-
A real person, not a booking form. They deliberately chose not to put a "book now" button in their app. Every booking is handled by a human advisor.
-
Independent advice. They cover all major cruise lines, so their job is finding the cruise that suits you, not pushing one brand.
-
No booking fees. The cruise line pays their commission, so their service costs you nothing.
-
Backed by a big name in travel. The Cruise Globe is part of Global Travel Collection, within Internova Travel Group (the same group that owns Barrhead Travel). That gives them access to partner programmes and industry relationships that a small independent couldn't get.
-
Cruise knowledge on tap. Advisors draw on a community of around 800,000 cruisers for cabin tips and the little pitfalls to avoid.
In short: you get the personal service of a small specialist with the buying power of one of the biggest travel groups in the world.
A Personal Touch
We love cruising, but we know how overwhelming booking can be. Hundreds of ships, dozens of cabin grades, drinks packages, fly-cruise options and a new offer every week. Booking online on your own can feel like guesswork.
With The Cruise Globe, you get a dedicated advisor who gets to know what you love. If you already use The Cruise Globe app, they can see the cruises you've logged, the lines you favour and the itineraries you've sailed before you've even spoken. So instead of starting from scratch, the conversation starts with ideas tailored to you.
Whether it's your first cruise, a big birthday, a family group or a once-in-a-lifetime world voyage, you'll be talking to a person who listens. They'll help you:
• Choose the right cruise line and ship for your style of holiday
• Pick a cabin that suits you (and avoid the ones that don't)
• Weigh up drinks packages, dining and excursions
• Sort flights and hotels around your cruise
• Plan group cruises for family and friends
Finding you the best deal
Cruise pricing is a minefield. Fares change constantly, offers come and go and the "deal" on the homepage isn't always the best value once you add everything up. This is where a good advisor earns their keep.
Because The Cruise Globe is backed by some of the biggest names in travel, they work to secure the best possible price for your cruise, including access to exclusive pricing. And because they're independent across all major cruise lines, they can compare options side by side and tell you honestly where the value is.
The best bit? It costs you nothing to ask. There are no booking fees and their commission comes from the cruise line, not from you. So you can get a quote, talk it through and decide in your own time.
Support before, during and after your cruise
Booking is only the start. One of the biggest reasons we chose to partner with The Cruise Globe is that your advisor stays with you for the whole journey.
-
Before you sail: help with changes, add-ons, flights, hotels and all those "quick questions" that pop up in the run-up to departure.
-
While you're away: if something goes wrong before or during your trip, you've got a real person to contact rather than an automated helpline.
-
After you're home: your advisor is there to help plan the next one (because there's always a next one).
Your booking also comes with financial protection, so you can book with confidence.
How it works: 4 simple steps
-
Request your free quote. Tell them roughly when you'd like to sail and any ideas you have. It takes under 2 minutes.
-
Chat with your advisor. They'll get back to you within 24 hours (usually much sooner) to talk through your options, free of charge.
-
Lock in your cruise. Your advisor secures your trip at the best available price, with financial protection.
-
Sail with support. If anything comes up before or during your trip, your advisor is on hand to help.
