Silversea
Ultra-luxury
All-suite, all-inclusive, white-glove service. Small ships, big destinations, almost no children.
Experience
Cruise lines I've worked on.
Across 17 years at sea I've worked on 13 different cruise lines — from ultra-luxury small ships to mega-resort family giants, from family-friendly to strictly adults-only, from traditional black-tie ocean liners to full-on party ships. I've genuinely done it all, and that's what every recommendation I make is built on.
Seabourn
Ultra-luxury
Intimate, refined and quietly indulgent — caviar on the beach is genuinely on the menu.
Oceania
Premium foodie
Smaller ships, longer itineraries, and arguably the best food at sea for the money.
Cunard
Classic British
Old-world ocean liner glamour. Black-tie nights, ballroom dancing, transatlantic crossings done properly.
Celebrity
Modern premium
Stylish, design-led ships with a more grown-up, contemporary feel — without going full luxury price.
Holland America
Traditional premium
Classic mid-size ships, brilliant for long itineraries, Alaska, and travellers who like a calmer pace.
P&O
British mainstream
Britain's hometown line. Familiar food, sterling on board, brilliant for first-time UK cruisers.
Fred Olsen
Small-ship British
Smaller, friendlier ships, unusual itineraries, very loyal repeat guests. Adults-skewing.
Saga
Adults-only (50+)
Boutique British line exclusively for over-50s — solo-friendly, all-inclusive, no children on board.
Royal Caribbean
Mega-ship family
The biggest ships in the world. Waterslides, surf simulators, ice rinks — a floating theme park.
Norwegian (NCL)
Freestyle family
No fixed dining, no formal nights. Big ships, broad appeal, brilliant for multi-gen groups.
Costa
European mainstream
Italian flair, Mediterranean-heavy itineraries, very European guest mix and atmosphere.
Virgin Voyages
Adults-only party
18+ only. Tattoo parlours, drag brunches, late-night DJs — cruising reinvented for people who hate cruise clichés.
Not sure which of these is right for you?
That's exactly what I'm here for. Take the quiz, or book a call and I'll match you to the line — and the ship — that actually fits the trip you want.
