Cruise Direction is a UK-based specialist cruise travel agency trading under Holiday Direction Ltd, based at The Nexus Building in Letchworth Garden City, Hertfordshire. As a fully ATOL bonded independent travel agent (ATOL 3973), the company offers tailor-made cruise holidays with all major cruise lines to destinations across the globe. Unlike tied agents, Cruise Direction works with hundreds of operators, giving customers genuine choice across itineraries, ship styles, and budgets. A team of specialist cruise consultants is available Monday to Friday and on Saturdays to help build the right holiday for each traveller.
Cruise Direction covers an extensive range of worldwide itineraries. Cruises in the South Pacific take in iconic landscapes and open-ocean adventures, while Southeast Asian voyages explore the diverse cultures of countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan. Caribbean sailings head to the Bahamas and beyond, offering clear waters, white-sand beaches, and activities suited to all ages. Transatlantic, Mediterranean, Scandinavian, and repositioning cruises also feature among the available itineraries.
One of Cruise Direction's signature offerings is its cruise and stay programme, combining sea voyages with land-based extensions. Customers can pair a Pacific sailing with time in Las Vegas or explore Hawaii by sea before heading inland for a fly-drive. The format adds flexibility to a standard cruise by letting travellers spend additional nights at a chosen destination rather than returning home from a port. Extras such as transfers, attraction tickets, travel insurance, airport hotels, car parking, and airport lounges can be added to any booking.
Cruise Direction is an accredited member of The Global Travel Group and works with a wide range of cruise lines including Holland America Line, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Cunard Line, Star Clippers, Seabourn, and Regent Seven Seas. All bookings are fully ATOL protected under licence number 3973, securing customer payments in the event of supplier failure. The company's free-to-call number (0800 012 5888) connects callers directly to cruise advisors.
Cruise Direction distributes a regular newsletter featuring last-minute deals, exclusive packages, and destination inspiration. Subscribers receive early access to promotions and occasional brochure mailings covering featured itineraries. The newsletter has covered cruise and stay bundles, limited-availability sailings, and seasonal price reductions across a broad range of cruise lines and departure dates.
