Cunard Jubilee painting

Where were you for the Queens Diamond Jubilee? Like thousands of others did you head down to watch all three of Cunards ships, the Queen Mary 2, the Queen Elizabeth and the Queen Victoria meet in Southampton?  If you did you may want to book a Cunard cruise soon as this will be the only way to get your hands on this fantastic memorial painting by artist Robert G Lloyd.

Win another free cruise - (seriously)

I posted a week or two ago how there was an online competition to win a free P&O cruise. It seems it must have been popular idea as I've just stumbled across another free cruise you can win.......

BHX vs. LHR

Or for those of you reading this who aren't travel agents, Birmingham airport vs. London Heathrow airport.
The reason for the post is that Birmingham International is making a determined bid to be seen as a viable alternative to Heathrow; this as Heathrow struggles with permission to build a third runway.

NCL Cruise ship - 360 Virtual tour

Hi all. As you know I've just got back from the NCL Epic a couple of weeks ago and had a great time. I've definitely been converted to freestyle cruising and will be talking about this with you soon.
I know I've been promising to show you all the pictures I took onboard to give you a bit of a better feel for what the cruise was like but I'm still trying to recover them after I crashed my computer. In the meantime there is a handy little section on the Norwegian cruise lines website that I thought I'd share with you that allows you to take a 360 virtual tour of all their ships.......

Last chance to register

I've written a little in the past about river cruises and how they're the fastest growing corner of the cruise industry. However there's nothing like talking to an expert in the field to learn all about river cruises or ask those awkward questions you've not been able to find answers to.
With that in mind cruise.co.uk have got together with APT River Cruises and will be hosting a webinar on the 18th June 2012 at 7:00pm

Win a free cruise, (seriously)

I noticed this last night and thought I'd share it all with you this morning. Hands up anyone who'd like a free cruise?

Animators Palette restaurant

I was writing yesterday about some of the amazing innovations you can find on a Disney cruise ship. Continuing on in that theme I felt I had to mention the Animators Palette restaurant on the Disney Magic. This has to be one of the cleverest ideas for a restaurant I've ever seen!

Magic Portholes

I was talking to a sales rep recently from Disney cruise lines, chatting about some of the features of the Disney ships.
We don't sell loads of Disney cruises here in the UK, (it's a predominately American market), however this seems like a shame as they do sail in the Mediterranean and some of the features of their ships are amazing. Possibly one of my favourite innovations is their magic portholes.

NCL Epic - Facts and figures

Continuing on with my posts about the NCL Epic I thought it might be useful today, rather than talking about my impressions, if I gave you all the facts and figures of the ship instead.
Have you ever wanted to know how big she is?
How many people can fit onboard?
How many bars and restaurants are there really?
Well fear not, all the answers to those questions and more can be found below.

Norwegian iConcierge

As you'll all probably know by now I've just gotten back from my cruise on the NCL Epic with Norwegian Cruise Lines. I wrote briefly the other day about my first impressions of the ship and if I can figure out how to get my phone and computer working hopefully I'll be showing you all the pictures I took onboard soon. Today however I want to tell any prospective Norwegian cruisers about a handy little app they should download for their phone before they cruise. It's called the Norwegian iConcierge.
