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.....

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.

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!
