Holly, founder and cruise specialist at The Cheshire Cruise Company

Hello, I’m Holly

Your cruise specialist.
An adventurer at heart.

I’m a Cheshire-based cruise lover and adventurer, helping clients locally and throughout the UK find the ship, itinerary and style of travel that feel right for them.

Ocean cruising lets you see several places in one trip, with everything from lively contemporary ships to classic ocean liners offering their own ways to enjoy life at sea.

Luxury cruising pairs attentive service with beautiful surroundings, whether you’re drawn to a spacious suite, a more intimate ship or the pleasure of having thoughtful details taken care of.

Expedition and adventure cruising brings you closer to remarkable places, from wildlife encounters and remote landscapes to polar journeys where the natural world takes centre stage.

River journeys offer a gentler way to explore, carrying you into the heart of destinations with ever-changing scenery and time to discover each place along the way.

And Disney Cruise Line brings characters, entertainment and family time into a holiday at sea. As a mum who loves Disney, I’m especially happy to help families find the right sailing.
