Why have one ship visit when you can have two… here’s a quick glimpse of the luxury Hapag-Lloyd Cruises Europa 2 alongside their expedition ship Hanseatic Nature… both were in Belfast on Friday and Rob from our The Cruise Room Ireland office was invited onboard!

If you’ve not heard of Hapag Lloyd before then don’t worry, we’re here to guide as we work with all the worlds leading cruise lines…. If you love Seabourn, Silversea, Oceania, Regent Seven Seas, Explora Journeys, Crystal for example then Hapag Lloyd should be on your radar… and we love a cruise line that has both ocean and expedition ships… !

Much more to come…

We’re going to have a month of birthday celebrations because… well… why not! πŸ˜‚ Watch out for more…

With that in mind, our 5th birthday really couldn’t have started any better with the news this morning from the brilliant team at Travel Weekly UK that we were one of 10 agencies across the UK & Ireland that shortlisted in their brand new Agency Branch Of The Year Award! ❀️

It is our sixteenth (gulp) U.K. and Ireland awards nomination in our 5 years !! Mind blowing!! It was industry legend Lucy & the Travelweekly team that gave us our very first award, signalling us out as β€˜One To Watch’ back in 2022 and for that we will forever be grateful, it was a real breakthrough moment, a moment that said, we were right to take a chance, they’ll never understand how much it mean’t to us!

So we don’t know what to say really… we’re just ever grateful to you all, just can’t say thank you enough! It seems inadequate! We’re lost for words !!

We really do appreciate each and every one of you who gives us the opportunity to take care of you, we know you don’t have to but it means so much as a small business that you do! You’re supporting us so that we can create employment, support charities, contribute to the community …

Right ! Phew! Looks like we’re London bound in July then!! πŸ‘€πŸ†

Thank you all!

We know it all sounds cliche but we really can believe it was 5 years ago today that we opened our doors at The Cruise Room in Hoylake. Where on earth have those 5 years gone?!? It’s all a little bit scary!

Many things have happened since… we’ve grown from the 2 of us to a crew of 7 in Hoylake! We’ve had Rob join us in Belfast, crew member number 8, as we’ve opened a Belfast office for guests across Ireland … we are lucky to have each and every one of them!

We’ve won FIVE U.K. & Ireland awards from Travel Weekly UK, Travel Trade Gazette and The Wave Awards with 15 award nominations in total to date!

We’ve supported multiple wonderful charities from Reuben's Retreat to OGCancerNI, supported critical local community groups such as Friends of Hoylake and Meols in Bloom, Incredible Edible Hoylake and Hoylake and Meols Christmas Lights…

We’ve created an β€˜Insider Series’ of events bringing you, our wonderful loyal guests on ship visits with the worlds leading cruise lines along with immersing you in all things cruise in local venues, supporting local wherever we can…

Jonathan and I still pinch ourselves with how lucky we’ve been to have the support and trust of so so many of you… we know you always have a choice of where to book and we’re incredibly grateful to each and every one of you who decides to book with us!

We’re not a big online call centre, we don’t have millions to spend on advertising, we’ve no interest in replacing our crew with AI…

We’re just real people, local people, passionate about what we do and care about each and every booking…

We just love cruise… and it was that which motivated us to put life on hold and open the U.K. and Irelands only high street dedicated to cruise store at a time when only ONE ship (MSC Virtuosa) was sailing post pandemic !

Thank you to everyone who’s got us here , it means the world to us!

We’ll celebrate across June so follow us to see what we have in store for you all!

Thank you…

Jonathan & Robbie

Last night we received these fantastic pictures from guests who have spent the last couple of days in Istanbul onboard the stunning Celebrity Cruises Ascent!

Istanbul has the most incredible 29,000 square metre underground, the world’s only, underground terminal ! The port area alone has been impressively developed and all this before you venture out into Istanbul!

The iconic Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the unique Basilica Cisterns are all there to see or if you prefer then simply take a relaxing cruise on the Bosphorus ! Of course when you stay overnight like these guests have then you can experience Istanbul in the evening which sees the city in a whole new light and you can really immerse yourself in it!

Istanbul is no different than it was 6 months ago, 12 months ago and it’s as safe as ever to travel to and experience!

A huge thank you to Mr & Mrs F for these pictures ! We hugely appreciate them and are so pleased you’re having a wonderful time on Celebrity Ascent! πŸ’™

We can’t believe it’s been 2 weeks since our sister ship The Cruise Room Ireland stepped onboard the beautiful Celebrity Cruises Eclipse in Belfast Harbour… a lot has happened since but it’s important we bring you some images from this beautiful class of ship!

When you step onboard what always grabs you is the sense of space, the stylish design, the quality feel! This is very much premium cruising! Oh and the artwork… we love the artwork!

Here are some Fast Facts About Celebrity Eclipse and have a look through our photos:

πŸ”ΈInaugural Date: April 26, 2010

πŸ”ΈClass: Solstice Class
πŸ”ΈOccupancy: 2852 (Double Occupancy)
πŸ”ΈNumber of Crew: 1,250

πŸ”ΈTonnage: 122,000
πŸ”ΈDecks: 16
πŸ”ΈLength: 1041 ft
πŸ”ΈBeam: 121 Feet
πŸ”ΈDraught: 27 Feet
πŸ”ΈCruise Speed: 24 knots

πŸ”ΈVerandas: 85% of inventory
πŸ”ΈOceanview: 5% of inventory
πŸ”ΈInside: 10% of inventory
πŸ”Έ # of connecting staterooms: 121

πŸ”ΈShip’s Registry: Malta
πŸ”ΈGodmothers: Emma Pontin - inspirational British yachtswoman

While we love the newest Edge Class ships, there are a huge number of guests who aren’t so keen and it’s this Solstice Class which does it for them… it’s not hard to see why!

In June we’re going to have some exclusives with Celebrity Cruises so do keep an eye out for those! πŸ‘€

With the sun set to shine this weekend we can’t help thinking back to last Saturday where The Cruise Room Ireland were onboard Celebrity Cruises Eclipse in Belfast Harbour! It was a little greyer then but we’re imagining how good it would be to be onboard today…

Chilling on lawn club, watching a movie on the big screen, a bit of golf putting, having a drink at the sunset bar, dipping in and out of the pool …

The images below also show some of the Suite Class deck space (images with black, red and white furnishings) which would also be perfect for today!

Enjoy the weather everyone and if you can see yourself here then just get in touch so we can get you onboard!

What a 3 days... it's been a phenomenal 3 days at The Cruise Room as the Four Queens Event Voyages went on sale at 2pm on Monday for World Club Members and then on General Sale at 2pm today.

These voyages are now virtually sold out...

🚒 Queen Elizabeth (6 Night) - Sold Out
🚒 Queen Anne (16 Night) - Sold Out
🚒 Queen Mary 2 (8 Night) - Sold Out
🚒 Queen Mary 2 (15 Night) - Sold Out

🚒 Queen Victoria (14 Night) - Very Limited Staterooms Left
🚒 Queen Mary 2 (12 Night) - Some Staterooms / Grill Suites Left

We do expect Queen Victoria to sell out on Thursday given the limited availability!

Now, if you've missed out, do not lose all hope! We are still seeing 1 or 2 staterooms appear and then disappear again just as quickly but we have had some success today at this. We have a guest who registered onboard before the launch and they've been booked onto not one but two voyages so 1 of these will reappear... there are tiny pockets of things like this happening! We're not giving up just yet for those of you who were new to Cunard and registered for today... we're still trying!

The best thing to do is to let us know what you were hoping for as we're still in and out of the Cunard system every few mins checking for guests! The thing to note however is that launch pricing is long gone and pricing on what's available is significantly higher due to fluid pricing (no, we don't like it either!).

For all those who are booked? A huge congratulations to you... you will be the envy of so many for the next 2 years, you've hit the absolute jackpot and you will be part of history....
