Wanted to book a Christmas cruise from Sydney, Shelley was extremely helpful going through the options, prices, pros and cons and covered all questions we had to make an informed decision on what we wanted. She was professional, friendly, attentive and available each time we called and expedited the booking quickly and efficiently. We were able to review and discuss offers available from competitors and we arrived at the best cost available from their price match policy. An enjoyable experience that inspired confidence that Cruise118 would be with you & support you all the way.

Ellie was such a delight to speak to and help me book my 3rd cruise with Cruise118. Everything was clearly explained to me and would recommend Ellie to speak to my friends and family.

We booked with cruise 118 in 2024 and everything ran smoothly with Sian as our booking agent so we have returned with a new booking in 2025 and this time Shelley has helped us. The service is always top class here, as I ask a lot of stupid questions but they always want to help and reassure me, thank you to all working here.
