Big News… You Can Now Book Your Cruise Through Me! πŸŽ‰πŸ₯‚ - Emma Cruises Weekly Newsletter


For almost 10 years, I’ve been sharing my cruises with you on the internet with just one aim: to help you decide which cruises are for you and which definitely aren’t. πŸ‘€πŸš’

I've answered thousands of questions in that time, but there’s always been one question I’ve never had a really good answer to: β€œEmma, who should I book my cruise with?” πŸ€”πŸš’

I'm so happy to say that I finally have the answer! I've launched my own agency and you can now book your cruises through me and my team at The Cruise Globe. We have teams based in both the UK and USA. 🌍🎊

Why did I launch my own agency? In comments and messages every single day, I see people who have bad experiences on cruises and it makes me so sad. I'm confident that at least 90% of them could have been avoided if they'd had a really good travel agent. ❀️🚒

A good travel agent is worth their weight in gold. I personally always use a travel agent and I tell my friends and family to do the same. I've been on 86 cruises so far but a good travel agent still has far more knowledge than me! πŸ₯‡πŸ›³οΈ

I'm always asked how I found a certain deal or why I booked a particular cruise and the majority of the time the answer is that my travel agent suggested it! I wanted to be able to share that experience with you, the best service, advice and price! πŸ’‘β˜€οΈ

We work with all the major cruise lines and using a travel agent doesn't cost you more than booking directly. In fact, it often costs less and can come with added perks. By booking through me, you'll also be directly supporting me and the work I do at no extra cost to you. πŸ’°β€οΈ

If you've ever enjoyed any of my content over the last decade, booking with me is by far the best way to support me and help me to keep creating content, hopefully forever! πŸ₯ΉπŸš’

Of course, there is absolutely no pressure to book through us. I know lots of you already have travel agents that you know and love, which is great! I just wanted to let you know that this option now exists if you ever need it. ❀️😊

We've gone for a very human centric approach at launch, with real cruise experts at the end of the phone and email. Soon we'll be sending out the best deals we find by email and eventually we plan to integrate deals with The Cruise Globe app so you can search for your cruises on the Globe too. This launch is just the start and I'm SO excited. We're very much building and developing this based on your feedback so please let us know what you'd like to see. πŸ“žπŸŒ

I share more information about the launch in this video, so do check that out:

P.S. If you've already booked a cruise directly and would like to transfer it to us, we're usually able to do that and we massively appreciate it. We can then look after your booking from that point as if we'd booked it for you in the first place. Just email us (we're always happy to take a look and can explain anything in more detail) πŸ₯°πŸš’

Booking an inside cabin is often far cheaper than booking a balcony cabin.

If you are cruising on a budget, an inside cabin can be a great way to have a fantastic cruise holiday without breaking the bank.

Many first-time cruisers wonder if they need to leave the ship at every port of call.

This article explains what happens if you stay onboard, why people choose to get off (or not) and what to expect.

Our teams are physically located in the UK and USA but we are able to book people from outside these countries too. You usually just need to pay in USD or GBP but we can explain all of that when you get in touch.

I just want to end this email on a massive thank you. The agency launch so far has been amazing in so many ways and the response really has blown my mind. I have read so so many kind messages and really appreciate the time it takes to write them. πŸ₯³πŸ©·

Thank you for always supporting me with the ideas I have, be that the Cruise Globe app or the Captain Hudson/First Mate Rolo fundraisers! πŸ˜‡πŸ›³οΈ

The below is a sneaky peek at the next versions, which will be available to order mid-August! I'll tell you more about them in the next newsletter, but as always, all profits will be going to charity, and I'm so excited to see how much we can raise. Aren't they SO CUTE!!! 😎❀️

Hello from the TUI Aria, currently docked in Antwerp in Belgium! Which is strange to say because this cruise wasn’t meant to go to Belgium. Our original itinerary was Switzerland, Germany and The Netherlands, but I’m very happy with how things have turned out. I’ve never been to Antwerp before and am loving it! 😁πŸ₯³ We all got a 20% refund because of the complete change of itinerary, or we could have cancelled for a full refund. Very happy with that! (Due to low water levels) πŸ‘ŒπŸΌπŸŒŠ TUI Aria is...

I know how weird it sounds, but it's true. I'm taking a cruise next week and right now, I don't know for sure where it's going. πŸ˜…πŸ˜Ž I didn't book a mystery cruise or anything like that... I booked a cruise with an itinerary, but right now, because of low water levels on the rivers, I don't know for sure what it will be yet. I'm not sure what airport I'll be flying into either! πŸ›³οΈπŸ˜‚ It's a magical mystery cruise and I can't wait to tell you everything when I know more. πŸ’¦πŸ™πŸΌ This isn't the first...

There isn't enough space here for me to write out 'Thank You' 1388 times, but if there were, I would. πŸ˜‚β€οΈ 1388 is how many Captain Hudson's and First Mate Rolo's were ordered this time and it has raised a whopping $18,531.19 for the two charities that we support!! πŸ•πŸ₯ That brings our total raised from all of the versions to a little over $205,000. That is an incredible sum by any measure, but it goes so much further than you'd think in the hands of the charities who are doing the most amazing...
