How to book the ultimate cruise

The choices for cruising are wild and wonderful and, with the help of a specialist, you can find your perfect voyage to sail off into the sunset - by Julia Zaetta

How to book the ultimate cruise

When you've mapped out your perfect trip, the next step is putting together an itinerary, which can be daunting. Here's where to start. 

Travel Agent

A one-stop shop, travel agents can book everything from cruises to flights, hotels and tour add-ons. Travel agents like Well Travelled can be especially helpful for those looking to extend their holiday beyond the cruise.

Cruise Specialist

Similar to travel agents, cruise specialists offer booking capabilities for all kinds of travel, but their true worth comes from their expert knowledge of all things cruise related. Have questions on the best cruise line, ship or itinerary? A cruise specialist such as Cruiseabout can help make sense of it all.

Direct

Cut out the middleman and go directly to the source. For travellers who value the details and prefer to book their own travel, booking directly with the cruise line is fast and convenient. Experts in all things related to their cruise line, they can assist with choosing the best cabin, booking shore excursions and making onboard dinner reservations.

Online Travel Agent

Online travel agents like Webjet and Expedia make cruise shopping simple, with a wide array of cruise options to choose from. For travellers who know what they’re looking for and are confident in their own booking ability, this method can offer excellent choice and value. If you are beginning from scratch, go online and check such options as ‘how to book your cruise’ and you’ll find endless sites, or visit 7travel.com.au for even more information to get you sailing. Bon voyage!
