Thank you for for your quick reply. As I live in France, (South Normandy) travel agents are very few and far between! Could you give me names of efficient and trustworthy UK travel agents I could look up on the Internet?

 

Many thanks,

PSan

If you want to mix with more nationalities then I recommend Celebrity Silhouette or RCI Anthem from Southampton. 
 However Canary island cruises can be effected by the weather. I’ve done 2 and both times the itineraries were altered.

Hi, and welcome to CC.

 

P&O, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Fred Olsen, Norwegian, Celebrity, and others.

As per Ray's post, we can't name cruise agents. Just google "Cruise agents UK" and yo'll find several. Including one with a very chilly name.

Stick to cruise specialists.

Not sure whether any of them are answering phones at the moment, but websites are up and running

Trying to get through to any TA on the telephone now, as JB says, will necessitate a long wait, so you would need to book online. If you have not cruised before, I would not suggest the online route. There are numerous variables involved when booking a cruise: cabin location, dining preferences, tipping etc, that are best discussed with a knowledgeable TA.

You obviously will not be looking at a cruise for this year, so perhaps do some online research now, and then contact a couple of TAs when things have quietened down.

In Oct. of 2019, we embarked the Sapphire Princess out of Southhamptom on our way to the Canary Islands and had a wonderful cruise.  Our weather was great throughout and we didn't miss any port stops.  We did mostly private tours and if you need or want names and contact numbers, I can provide those for you.  We did some rocking and rolling crossing the Bay of Biscaye but the rest of the cruise was smooth.
