Destinology is a UK-based luxury travel specialist founded in 2004 in Bolton, renowned for hand-picking the finest cruise lines and five-star holiday experiences across the world's most sought-after destinations.

This archived brochure showcases the Destinology Cruises collection, giving a flavour of the outstanding voyages they offered.

Tailor-Made Luxury Cruises

Destinology specialised in crafting bespoke cruise holidays to suit individual tastes, whether that meant a sun-drenched Caribbean voyage, an expedition through the wilderness of Alaska, or a leisurely journey around the coasts of Europe. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all product, their team curated itineraries around each traveller's preferences, selecting cruise lines specifically for their quality, service, and the experiences they delivered on board and ashore.

Hand-Picked Cruise Lines

Only cruise lines meeting Destinology's exacting standards made it into their portfolio. Customers could be confident that every vessel and itinerary had been personally vetted for outstanding quality, so the promise of a luxury experience was backed by genuine expertise. From intimate ships exploring remote coastlines to larger vessels offering world-class dining and entertainment, the collection spanned a wide range of styles and budgets within the luxury tier.

Destinations Around the World

The Destinology Cruises range covered an exceptional spread of global destinations. Travellers could explore the spectacular Great Barrier Reef along Queensland's coast in Australasia, combining snorkelling and diving with the unique landscapes of the Pacific. Africa cruises offered the rare chance to pair luxury sailing with land-based safari experiences in Kenya's national parks and game reserves. The Caribbean, Mediterranean, and Far East rounded out a portfolio designed to satisfy even the most well-travelled explorer.

About Destinology

Established in 2004 and headquartered in Bolton, Destinology grew to become one of the UK's most respected online luxury travel businesses, recognised for award-winning customer service. The company became an ABTA member, providing customers with the financial protection and industry standards that come with that accreditation. Saga acquired a majority stake in Destinology in 2014, reflecting the brand's strong standing in the premium travel market, before the business later passed to Brooklyn Travel Holdings.
