Cruise with Designer Travel
At Designer Travel, we offer a vast range of cruise options for you to choose from, including major cruise lines as well as some of the smaller and more specialised ones, such as river and yacht cruises.
We understand that every cruise line is unique and has something different to offer. Therefore, we strive to provide you with a bespoke package that suits your needs and preferences. We can also help you book the cruise-only element if that's what you prefer. Our team of expert cruise specialists has first-hand knowledge of the cruising market and can guide you to choose the perfect voyage for you.
If you're looking for an adventure, exploring Europe on a river cruise can be one of the best experiences of your life. It offers a unique journey through an exciting mix of art, music, history, and architecture. You get to witness the sights, sounds, and smells of historic cities, medieval towns, and riverside villages on grand waterways.
Cruising is an excellent way to experience new cultures, foods, and people. With each port of call, you wake up to a new destination, allowing you to taste each port of call and decide which destination you would like to return to on your next holiday.
We offer a wide range of cruise options, from taster cruises and short breaks to round-the-world voyages. Whatever your preferences, we have got you covered. So, all you need to do is decide when and where you want to go, and our team will take care of the rest.
