Very helpful booking experience

Gary was extremely helpful in booking our cruise for 2027. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk to, and tried to find ways to reduce the price of the cruise.

Holiday cruise

I have booked all of my cruise holidays with Iglu Cruise because I believe they offer more competitive deals than other travel agencies. Their customer service agents are consistently friendly, accommodating, and attentive to my personal preferences when arranging travel. For these reasons, I regularly recommend Iglu Cruise to my friends so they can enjoy a cruise holiday and book with confidence through them as well.

Good to book through. We’ve booked all of our 5 cruises…

We’ve booked all of our 5 cruises through Iglu. We find them helpful when looking for each trip. We will continue to use them. I wish they ran a loyalty scheme themselves as we like to try different cruise companies so don’t use the same ones each time thus unfortunately, we don’t benefit from any of the cruise lines schemes. Booking through Iglu every time should reward the purchaser.

They don't allow non-UK citizens to book!

I tried to book a cruise through their website, but I wasn't allowed to because I'm not a UK citizen and therefore I don't have a UK address (I can send their email regarding this). I always book cruises through other UK websites, which I won't mention, and I've never had this type of problem. Furthermore, their denial, besides being unfair, I believe is illegal, and I will therefore file a case with ABTA.

Don't book through this company

Booked river cruise (tui) from the start problems, iglu said they had booked seats and assistance but when checked with tui they hadn't been booked. Tui changed the itinerary and was given chance to cancel, however iglu had to do this in order to get refund. When I contacted customer service they said that they would be back 5 to 7 days, the cruise was in 4 days.
Automated customer service just kept asking same questions and couldn't progress.
Caused lots of stress which as yet hasn't been resolved.
My advice is don't book 3rd party

I had a call back with Iglu in the morning which I went though all my requirements and was told that someone would get back to me, which never happened, it wasn’t until I called back on the afternoon that someone tried their hardest to find a cruise for me, it wasn’t the best experience I’ve had with Iglu cruises and was taken a back as they are usually prompt and professional

Excellent work

Ms Caitlin is a polite, friendly and professional Cruise Specialist. She has ample information of various cruises and explained in details aimed to meet customers needs. As such, I booked two cruises with her. Excellent job. Well done!
