4.9/5 Independent Feedback based on 578 verified reviews

“Great service before and after booking” I can’t fault the service I received from the Cruise Centre. The staff are exceptionally helpful and go to great lengths to find the right cruise and flights. Even more importantly they provide a great service after the holiday is booked . Any queries are dealt with within a matter of hours and the advice is clear and easy to follow.

“Perfection all the way” Scotland’s Cruise Centre was recommended to me a few years ago by a fellow cruiser.

I used them for my next cruise and found them to be so helpful, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. I have used them for every cruise since and will continue to do so. The service is 5 star all the way.
