Book your fly and cruise holiday with a Melksham-based travel company

Holidays & Cruises is promoting the benefits of ‘fly cruise’ holidays.

The small family business, located on the High Street, is run by owners Steven Plummer and Sherina Hale, who have over 70 years combined travel industry and direct cruise line experience. 

Sherina says, “We pride our success on being a caring, small and friendly team, we love what we do – and making our valued customers’ holiday wishes come true.  

“With travel now resuming after the long Covid pause and cruising as popular as ever, we are putting the spotlight on the creative opportunities we can offer with personalised cruise and stay flight arrangements. We are partnered with a huge range of the best cruise lines, accommodation and transport providers worldwide to offer you seamless arrangements that are ATOL protected. 

“The benefit of ‘fly cruise’ is there are so many different opportunities to enhance your cruise experience; to reduce the number of sea days to accomplish your itinerary; provide more chance to explore the flight arrival and departure cities serving the ports on your cruise itinerary; plus the ability to choose the length of your stay in each location. There is also the flexibility; for example if you have more time at your disposal to combine with more leisurely beach stays or incorporate with international visits to friends and family. 

“We can usually offer you more freedom of choice with your cruise and stay itinerary and more competitively priced then booking directly with the cruise line. These frequently only offer limited pre and post stays of a fixed duration with an airline, flight times and hotels of their choosing that are only confirmed and named just weeks before departure.                                         

“Our dedicated specialist cruise team can package to specifically feature your personal requirements offering you a choice of flight times, your preferred airline and airport of departure, a selection of named hotels with a choice of classification, with transfers and land arrangements to include, if required, visits to any key attractions of your choosing.  

“We acknowledge that many regular cruisers have loyalty awards with their favoured cruise line and providing your membership details to us at the time of your instruction can ensure these are assigned to your tailored arrangements so that even booking through us as an agent, you will continue to accrue your loyalty benefits. 

“Our 7 seater Mercedes transfer vehicle enables us to offer our customers the benefit of a complete service, picking up from your front door to and from your preferred airport and is ideal for combining with family and friends joining the same arrangements requiring collection from separate addresses.   

“Please come along and talk to us about your plans and discover how we can personalise your fly cruise and stay arrangements. By all means, pop instore; we are open Tuesday to Saturday 10am – 4pm, however booking an appointment for a consultation is recommended, these can be made outside of office hours evening or early morning to suit by prior arrangement.  

“Lastly you can book in the confidence that as an Independent Travel Agent, non-consortia there are no pipeline transactions, your monies are protected in a Trust Account; The Travel Trust Association is the only travel network in the UK to guarantee 100% financial protection to the consumer to ensure total consumer confidence.
