Cruise Holiday Inspiration
Your Personal Cruise Consultant
Always here with you
Dreaming of a cruise but not sure where to start? With over 30 years travel agency experience, including 18 years specialising in cruise - I’ll help you cut through the noise.
“Hi, I’m Lorraine McCowatt - your personal cruise consultant, based in Wokingham, Berkshire, England.
I love cruising, without even knowing I would - becoming a cruise specialist before stepping foot on a ship. What other kind of holiday lets you explore multiple incredible destinations in luxury and comfort - all while only unpacking once?
There is very little I don’t know about cruising. With over 18 years of specialising in cruises (with the same company) - And supported by extensive ongoing training, cruise-line hosted ship visits, and personal holidays - I have been on more than 30 ships, ranging from ocean mega-ships to intimate river cruises.
As a seasoned travel agent, and since my own travel style has evolved, I only sell the cruise lines that I would book for myself - for value, quality, ship size, and immersive, destination-focused cruising - rather than waterslides and mass-market experiences.
I specialise in designing bespoke, tailor-made cruise holidays for experienced travellers seeking exceptional journeys at sea, and by river. I create personalised itineraries that combine exclusive access, unique destinations, and seamless planning — delivering cruises that are anything but ordinary.
Over the years, I have formed amazing relationships with handpicked cruise lines & trusted suppliers - who are my preferred partners. You will only find these partners on my website.
My amazing clients return to me year after year simply because they know who they’re speaking to - no call-centres, no phone menu options - just me - and I always give a no-fuss service.
Take a browse through my website for some inspiration, then get in-touch and let’s start exploring your dream cruise holiday.”
