Maura McKenna
The excellent value in a luxury cruise is definitely what makes me love them. Everything is included and the personal service you receive on a small, luxury cruise ship is incomparable. I’ve got 28 years’ experience in travel and cruise, so I can help you decide on top cruise destinations and the best cruise line for you while planning your perfect luxury cruise holiday. My favourite cruise memory is a sailing I went on with Silver Whisper. I visited the Caribbean with a beautiful veranda suite – from the six-star service to the excellent itinerary it was a fantastic trip. One of the best things about my job is welcoming my customers back home after their trips and listening to how much they loved their holiday – it’s great to hear their new holiday memories and tales from their latest venture! I pride myself on ensuring my customers are happy, I’ve even won an award for my exceptional customer service!
Mr Stephen Hugh Brocklebank
Your representative Maura McKenna was extremely helpful and informative and made the booking of the cruise very straightforward. Her manner was cheerful and seemed very willing to help in any way. First class service. Thank you.
Mr David Brian Hardcastle
Very good response to our call in what are obviously difficult times.Maura McKenna was very efficient in processing our revised booking.
Mrs Jacqueline Ann Kerley
Thank you to Maura at six star for her friendly, helpful professional manner . She has booked our holiday several times now, and is wonderful . She has such attention to detail , which adds to the overall enjoyment of your holiday . Well done Maura .

Hannah Grey
The task of pairing each individual customer with their own perfect cruise is one the reasons I love working at SixStarCruises. I’ve got 15 years’ experience in the travel industry and a lot of personal experience of luxury cruising, as well as knowledge of what will fit the preference of each customer. One of my favourite luxury cruise memories is a Silversea cruise visiting the Italian Riviera. It emphasised the small ship experience for me and I’ve never looked back since! The luxury cruise experience is fantastic, even the staff have their own bar and pools on some ships, so you know everyone is completely cared for. Speaking to customers every day is great as I can learn what holiday they are planning and find them their perfect itinerary to match. My experience as a concierge has even been highlighted by several luxury cruise lines including Oceania Cruises and Silversea.
Miss Ruth Anne Bishop
very helpful lady Hannah Grey did all our booking, nothing was too much trouble, she is our agent for as long as she is with you. Hannah is very efficient and pleasant.

Emma Gray
With over 20 years’ experience in travel, I’ve been incredibly lucky to enjoy both ocean and river cruises throughout my career, and I love to share my own experiences with my customers to help inspire and guide them in creating their dream holiday. Luxury cruising is incredible, everything from the size of the ship to the staff-to-guest ratio enables you to be treated like you’re the only customer on-board. I love to explore too, and a luxury cruise pairs fantastic destinations with a quality of service you cannot fault. One of my favourite holidays was a river cruise along the Mekong River, finding out about the different cultures and how people live. The residents in this region were amongst the nicest I’d even met and I’d highly recommend anyone to visit!
Ray Coulson
Emma Gray gave us a great deal and was very quick and prompt in booking our Oceania cabin. We always receive excellent service through Emma and she is a credit to the company.
Mr Wayne John Beckwith
It's all about the staff and we have been very lucky to have had Emma guiding us through the process again, her knowledge and advice is always spot on a real professional with a passion for her job and clients., well done again for making the process as painless and informative as always six stars for six star staff.....
Mr Alastair Dick Campbell
This was our first booking made with Six Star and am happy to say that the help given by Emma Gray, cruise concierge, was excellent.

Laura Higgs
A luxury cruise holiday offers an unrivalled experience like no other. Everything from the service to the food is what I love about it. I enjoy speaking to my customers and hearing how they enjoyed their sailing or where they are planning to travel next, as well as experiencing the cruises for myself to share my knowledge and understand the industry. My favourite holiday must be when I surprised my mum with a cruise around the Mediterranean. It was a really special experience as it was her first cruise and it was great to show her the world which I love to work in.
Barry Mole
Thank you Laura Higgs for dealing with our cruise so efficiently and making all arrangements, we've used other well known cruise lines none of which have done as much or gone the extra mile. All credit to Six Star Cruises x
Mrs Parker
We decided to book a cruise to South America and were unsure of what cruise line to choose. Laura Higgs was amazing. Very knowledgeable, patient, helpful and incredibly hard working and diligent. I felt confident and well informed at every stage of the booking and she was ahead of the game at all times despite my endless questions. Nothing was too much trouble. Our cruise is not departing for another 9 months but I am sure Laura will be keeping me updated and organising other elements of the trip as and when required with her usual efficiency and great attention to detail and care.

Dan McMahon
Talking about cruise holidays and arranging a booking for customers is one of the best things I love about my job. There’s nothing like a luxury cruise – the quality of the service is great, and the food is always fantastic. I’ve worked in the travel industry for eight years, and I still enjoy hearing about others’ holiday experiences. One of my favourites was a river cruise along the Danube river visiting Budapest, Bratislava and other cities and towns along the way.
John and Christine Haworth
Dan at six star cruises has booked our trips in the past and has always kept us informed. This time our cruise was cancelled through no fault of theirs and we have been informed that we will have a full refund within 21 days ! They have been fantastic every step of the way, during what can only be described as chaotic times !!! Will definitely be using them again !! Well done to six star cruises !!
Mr Robert Dixon
This is just the second time I have used them in 10 years. Love the fact that one has a dedicated contact person(Dan). Dan responded exactly how and when he said he would. He was also able to iffer a discount compared with booking direct with the cruise line. So far so good!
Mr Michael Hayward Strong
Dan was incredibly helpful - thank you

Andrew Freeman
I’ve got over 15 years’ experience in travel, so I can offer great insight into the world of luxury travel and cruise. I always love planning a trip for my customers, sharing my holiday memories, and listening to how much they enjoyed their latest cruise which I helped piece together for them. If I had to choose my top holiday experience, it would be a trip to South Africa along the south coast. Everything from the scenery, the wildlife, the people, and the food was amazing. It was such as great country to visit. My favourite thing about luxury cruising is the aspect of travelling from one destination to another in a high standard of style of comfort – it’s something only luxury cruising can offer. One of my cruise tips for my customers is always make sure to book speciality dining. It’s often included on a luxury cruise line and worth a visit – I can even help you reserve a table!
Mr John David Laurie
Andrew Freeman was excellent. He moved my booking quickly and efficiently getting me exactly what I wanted. I have total confidence in him and Six Star Cruises.
Pamela Martin
Andrew Freeman is a fabulous asset to Six Star Cruises! I have dealt with Andy for a number of cruise bookings now and he has always been super efficient, friendly, professional and helpful. He is also knowledgeable and unflappable. A pleasure to chat to and always follows up on every aspect of our bookings. Thank you again Andy for your assistance.
Renate Garrard
After a excellent experience with my previous and first booking with Six Star cruises, I definitely was looking forward dealing with Andrew Freeman again. He sorts everything out with speed and without any sort of pressure. Easy to talk to and patient. Nothing is too much trouble. I am always very grateful for his help. It is also nice to get a good deal with Six Star Cruises. Long may he continue.

Andrew Whittle
I love the process of putting together a holiday and learning about each different customer. With five years’ travel experience, I enjoy the excitement of packaging a luxury cruise with incredible extras such as a journey aboard the Belmond Express or joining a safari in Africa. One of my favourite holidays was on-board Regent’s Seven Seas Voyage, which included complimentary tours in Rome, Cinque Terre, and Corsica. I’ve experienced just how inclusive these cruise lines are and that the standard of service is amazing – this is what makes the six-star cruise lines stand out, with many including speciality dining, beverages, and shore excursions in your initial cruise fare.
Mrs Gillian Hampton
Great service, as usual with Andrew Whittle as our contact. Transfers brilliant, just as last time. Just booked again with Andrew for Regent Seven Seas next year. Friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Thanks.
Margaret Hand
We have always found Six Star Cruises very good. We are very happy with Andrew Whittle who has looked after our resent bookings extremely well and always answered any questions we Have had promptly and efficiently. We have always had good service from Six Star Cruises.

Scott Perry
Tailoring a holiday to a customers’ requirements and hearing how much they enjoyed their cruise is one of the highlights of working at SixStarCruises. With four years’ experience in travel and knowledge on how to arrange the perfect cruise, I always ensure my customers make the most of the luxury cruise line inclusions – including butler service, gourmet in-suite dining, excursions and more! The six-star service on-board a luxury cruise line is second-to-none. There’s no need to worry about hidden extras and the personal touches from staff make guests feel at home from the first day. There’s a great sense of achievement knowing that the holiday I’ve arranged is perfectly tailored to each customer, and I love seeing how happy they are with their plans and the service. My favourite holiday was a USA road trip, which included driving the famous Route 66; a short stay in New York; flying to Las Vegas; and driving to the regions of San Francisco, Los Angeles, Palm Springs and a few more scenic stops!
John W
Scott was excellent throughout our booking process, prepared to work to beat other quotes and arrange varied flights. Thanks Scott
Terence Reade
Scott was very helpful and booking was very easy because of his help. Looking forward to our cruise although it's a long way off and will use your company again in the future
Sandra Coley
Scott offered a friendly, professional service. He is very knowledgable about the different ships and cruises offered. He spent time looking at different options for me Tailoring the cruise to meet my needs , and he was not pushy giving me time to consider fully before booking. Excellent service thank you Scott.

Joe Morrison
Working with customers on the finer details of their luxury cruise is one of my favourite aspects of my role at SixStarCruises. I enjoy fine-tuning their holiday itinerary to ensure they are completely satisfied before booking, including recommending nearby hotels for pre- or post-cruise stays and checking flight times to reduce wait times – it’s these personal touches that the SixStarCruises’ service represents. With nine years’ experience in travel, I can pair his own holiday memories with my cruise knowledge and sales expertise to offer the signature concierge service only available with SixStarCruises. This is the same with luxury cruise lines, as the attention to detail is one of a kind. Small, personal touches go a long way and make you feel completely cared for with holiday memories to last a lifetime. One of my favourite holiday memories was an expedition sailing with Silversea, featuring a visit to the Seychelles and neighbouring atolls. Meeting local rangers, spotting wildlife and experiencing a Zodiac tour made it a holiday to remember.
Mr Vincent Cockrell
Joe Morrison was, as always, most helpful and efficient, in moving our Azamara 2020 booking to one in 2021.
Mr Sean Casey
Recently book a silversea cruise and stay, Joe Morrison the cruise concierge was very knowledgeable and helpful with his service and recommendations, very pleased with overall experience, happy to recommend him. Sean Casey
Mona Wootton
I recently took a short cruise on Crystal Serenity and my cruise consultant was Joe Morrison. I couldn't fault the service I received. I booked at the last minute as I was very uncertain whether to do it or not. I had recently lost my husband and had doubts as to whether I wanted to cruise alone. From the start Joe was very reassuring. Crystal treat solo travellers very well. I boarded in Malta and was immediately impressed by this beautiful ship. Having cruised on other Six Star ships I believe that Crystal compare very favourably with them. Joe was so helpful and even suggested what I chose to eat at Prego and Silk Road, the specialist restaurants on board. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in booking again with Six Star Cruises and would certainly use Joe's services. His telephone manner was so friendly. Thank you Joe. You made it so easy and I hope to be in touch again in the not too distant future.

Sheila Fleming
Travelling and seeing the world in a luxurious floating hotel is the epitome of what I love about luxury cruising. I love talking to people who are just as enthusiastic about it as I am. One of my favourite cruising holidays was a multi-centre getaway, where I spent a week on a beautiful golf resort before setting sail on a luxury cruise around the Mediterranean. Working at SixStarCruises is fantastic as I get to spend my working life sharing my travel stories and selling something which I’m passionate about – as well as speaking to people who love it as much as I do!

Laura Wing
Visiting ports that are unspoilt and sailing to hidden gems that other ships can’t reach is one of my favourite things about luxury cruising. As the ships are smaller, they can access lesser-known ports and offer the chance to explore unique regions by yourself. One of my favourite things about working at SixStarCruises is having the knowledge and ability to help customers visit their bucket-list destinations. The SixStarCruises service means we don’t just arrange a cruise, but we can tailor-make a package encompassing pre- and post- experiences so that customers can really explore a destination of their choice. I’ve travelled all over the world, so I can offer a great insight to customers on where to visit and my favourite places. A particular highlight of mine is Australia – especially the coastline near Perth where I spent my honeymoon – it was amazing!
Howard & Eileen Thomas
Just booked our second cruise on Seabourn with Laura and on both occasions she has impressed us with her knowledge, professionalism and patience. Thank you for your help and thank you to Richard for the final touches!
Stewart Buchanan
Truly a 6* experience booking through Laura of Sixstar Cruises. Everything went to plan down to the finest detail. Laura was informative, friendly and exceedingly helpful from start to finish. We really enjoyed our back to back cruise with Azamara on the Quest. Cant think of anything we did not like, despite having reservations that Azamara were recently below parr and not quite up to 6* quality anymore according to comments on Cruise Critic. Having previously only sailed with Crystal we expect a high standard of quality product and service, we think we received all that on a more relaxed and informal cruise. Many thanks to Laura and all the team at Sixstar
Norma
We have booked with SixStar Cruises over a number of years and always had good service. This year we decided to book a River Cruise which is new to us, having always done ocean cruises. We spoke with Laura Wing. She was so helpful, very courteous and efficient. It also helped a great deal that she had actually been on the same ship we were enquiringly about, her hints and tips were excellent! We felt very confident to book after Laura's excellent service. I'm sure we will have a great time!
