This is my second booking with Martin…
This is my second booking with Martin Wylie, and I will only be booking through him from here on in. He has been absolutely exceptional throughout, always at hand when I have a query and very speedy response. Nothing is any bother to him and I literally had him tortured with inundating him with emails with my queries. I emailed him yesterday at 3pm about a cruise and by 6pm he had my itinerary/ship and cruise port I had asked for got and we got it booked. Martin is the man who has given us back our freedom to travel after my husband's spinal cord injury, he knows our needs and he is so reassuring when I had a wobble about travelling again. Thank you Martin we wouldn't be able to do this without you and here's to many many more cruises via yourself!

CruiseAbility
I booked a 5 night Norwegian Fjords cruise with the help and advice of Martin Wylie from CruiseAbility through Hays Travel. I have mobility difficulties and wasn't sure if I would be able to do a cruise but Martin was able to sort out a partially accessible cabin for me and my husband which has a walk in shower and grab rails in the bathroom to help. He reassured me of the layout of the ship and explained patiently everything I wanted to know.
Very reassuring.

Great advice, excellent service. All booked, can't wait!
Martin took time to explain everything and asked lots of questions to make sure he tailored our trip to what we needed and the medical / access needs of our family. He was prompt to reply to any questions and sorted out a typo straight away (even over the bank holiday weekend)! As a disabled consumer it helps to know that the agent knew what we were talking about and had experience of travelling himself which helps put you at ease.

Outstanding booking experience
From the first contact to booking confirmation, Martin's communications, responsiveness, humour, 'nothing was too much trouble' attitude and, above all, his results in finding and booking exactly what we were looking for (and all without us having to spend ages on the phone to the cruise company ourselves) made this an outstanding experience.
My wife has some very specific mobility issues and Martin understood perfectly how to support her and find the perfect solution for her needs. 10 out of 10! Thankyou, Martin!

Disability Cruise
We decided to ask Martin Wylie to look and see if there were any, short notice, disability cruise cabins available for 2026 - fully thinking he would come back to us with a firm no. We were wrong and the cruises available were at a stunning price. Having used Martin before, we knew that he was open and honest and was going to work hard to see what he could do. The whole booking with him was flawless.
