Cumbria Cruises – celebrating over 25 years of cruising expertise

Voted Best Cruise Agent by the travel industry for three years in succession, leading independent cruise specialist Cumbria Cruises has achieved over 25 years as a top UK cruise agent. Part of the Barrow Travel Group formed in 1982 and one of the first travel agents to specialise in cruising in the 1980’s under the name Cumbria Cruise Club, we have an excellent and long established relationship with all major cruise lines, affording us the best deals, the most up to date information and an enviable reputation.

In 2004, another well established cruise brand, Cruise Savers International became part of our organization, operating from the same premises in Barrow in Furness. At the end of 2006 we joined these two leading cruise companies together; combining two great brands into one outstanding cruise agency… Cumbria Cruises.

Why choose Cumbria Cruises?
In a recent survey, our customers ranked our Personal Service and Reliably Competitive Pricing as the two key benefits of booking with us. We are recognised by the quality of service we provide and our in depth knowledge of the industry, cruise lines and ships.

Added security for our customers

In 2001, we were acquired by the Co-operative Group Ltd who has invested in our fantastic purpose built premises and the latest technology, ensuring that we are well equipped to offer the very best service in the industry. The fact that we are part of such a long established ethical business brings added security for our customers.

2007 marked our 25th Anniversary as a top cruise agent – a milestone achieved through the loyalty of our customers. We recognise our customers have a choice and are delighted that so many clients return to us year after year, in the knowledge that they will receive the best value for money and a quality service. We are all committed to working on your behalf to be the best we can be and really feel that we’ve summed up just how we feel about your holidays with our new brand promise – “We live it.
