What should I pack?

The clothes you pack for your cruise should be relevant to the destinations you visit so consider what the weather will be like in your ports of call at the time of year you are visiting.

What our clients say

Platinum Service Award Winners

Average Customer Rating: 4.9/5

Excellent service, our agent was really good and knowledgeable. She helped us decide what we wanted from our cruise she couldn’t have done anymore for us.

Mrs Smithies / November 2024

No need to go elsewhere

The Service delivered from cruise kings was exceptional,they understood my needs and everything was booked and confirmed very quickly and at a great price. In the past I have always booked directly with the cruiseline in future I will be going direct to Cruisekings.

Jim / November 2024

The best cruise agents ever.

The best service, and after service ever. Nothing is ever too much trouble, they are always available to help you with any queries, or worries you may have. In my opinion Cruise Kings quotes are practically impossible to beat. They go above and beyond for their customers. They are a pleasure to deal with, and I highly recommend them.
