A Culinary Journey With Oceania Cruises

We recently caught up with our friend Jonny Peat, cruise expert and Commercial Manager at The Advantage Travel Partnership, to get the insider scoop on Oceania Cruises and cover all things food. Get ready to embark on a culinary journey through Oceania Cruises. From the freshest seafood to the most delicious desserts, you’ll set off on a voyage of flavours and tastes that will make your taste buds dance. Explore the culinary delights of Oceania Cruises and discover the best dishes from around the world. Here’s what Jonny has to say… OCEANIA, A FOODIE’S PARADISE A luxury cruise might not be what you’d naturally think of when searching for a holiday that will exceed your expectations, but believe me, Oceania Cruises really deliver on culinary excellence. Vista, the newest addition to their fleet has 12 dining experiences – more choices than ever before – and each one is distinct and carefully thought through. Specialty dining on cruise ships often incurs a fee, but here, everything is included in the price of your trip. With Oceania Cruises, the quality starts with the finest ingredients, which are procured from across the globe. For example, the pastries served at breakfast contain the best flour and butter imported from France, and are baked fresh daily on board, under the watchful eye of their French Executive Chef, ensuring they’re light and delicate – très magnifique! Oceania sends its team of experts all over the world to find what’s hot on the food scene and partnered with Imanol Jaca (famed butcher from the Basque region whose meat products are considered some of the best in the world), it doesn’t get much better than that!

Life On Board A Cunard Queen

Unwind. Embrace a sense of freedom. Enjoy life with no responsibilities – if only for a week or so. A voyage with Cunard brings a chance to travel the world in comfort and style, spending time doing as much or as little as you like. The Cunard Queens have so much choice on board, you’ll find everything you need to create your perfect holiday, no matter your age and no matter your passions. THE SHIPS The Cunard fleet currently includes three iconic ships, Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, and Queen Elizabeth, but will soon welcome a fourth in 2024 with the arrival of Queen Anne. No matter which ship you sail on, each day on board brings new possibilities. Art classes and fine dining. Pub fare and karaoke. An opportunity to simply lay back by the pool, cocktail in hand, and do nothing at all. The choice is yours (it is your holiday after all).The world’s only true ocean liner, the elegant Queen Mary 2 was built to sail the open seas and cut through Atlantic waves with ease. Queen Elizabeth invites you to feel at home straight away, with her variety of different spaces to suit every mood, and Queen Victoria is perfect for basking in the sun as you gaze out to sea and at the shoreline, thanks to a spacious sun deck.

Experience an adventure of a lifetime with Quark Expeditions

Specialising exclusively in expeditions to Antarctica and the Arctic, Quark Expeditions has been the leading innovator of polar adventure since the company took the first group of consumer travellers to the North Pole in 1991. Quark Expeditions has been innovating ever since. With a diverse fleet of specially-equipped small expedition vessels — with the most luxurious of them equipped with helicopters — Quark Expeditions delivers deeply immersive polar experiences — and is able to take guests deeper into the polar regions than anyone else. Sarah Schlederer, Business Development Manager for the UK and Ireland, welcomed a group of four of our industry friends on a hosted familiarisation aboard the all-suites, all-balcony expedition ship – the World Explorer in February 2023 on a 14 day voyage, starting and ending in Ushuaia, to go where only the tiniest percentage of Antarctic voyagers ever go; south of the Antarctic Circle, 66°30′ S. We have asked them to share some of their highlights from this unique and very special trip…

Iceland
Wow what a place and what an incredible experience. I really enjoyed searching for the Northern lights and exploring the Golden Circle but relaxing in the warm waters of the Blue Lagoon was the highlight of the trip for me!

We have well-travelled staff who provide expert advice and personal recommendations on the worldwide destinations. We aim to provide inspiring travel ideas and authentic experiences and our portfolio of destinations and holidays is ever evolving. We offer a truly personal service, building long-standing relationships and really getting to know our clients and their needs. With a high level of attention to detail and professionalism our clients know that they can rely on us to look after them before, during and after their holiday. Go Travel Ltd was founded in Chislehurst in 1999. A year later we opened our second branch in Petts Wood and in 2006, broadened our Kent operation when we took over an established travel agency in Locksbottom. On the 30th June 2008 we opened our 4th branch in Blackheath. We also have our own tour operator specialising in luxury escorted holidays for the young at heart www.cultural-breaks.com.

We have twenty-two experienced staff in four locations. All of our staff have frequent training to enable them to offer a service that is second-to-none. They all go on familiarization trips, which enables them to speak frankly about the locations and hotels. If anyone wishes to speak to someone who has had first-hand knowledge of a particular location, country or hotel, it is quite possible for you to be put through to another member of staff at one of our branches who has that knowledge.

Unlike the majority of high street travel agents, we are indepedent so we're not aligned with any particular tour operator, thus enabling us to sell products by over hundered's of different tour operators & airlines and over 100,000 hotels and villas around the world. We have contracts with all the major tour operators like Thomson and Thomas Cook as well as more specialist operators such as Travel 2, Classic Collections, Prestige Holidays, ITC Classics and many more.

We provide a full range of travel services including tailor-made and inclusive holidays, flights, accommodation only, cruises, foreigh currency, car hire, airport parking, worldwide attraction tickets, travel insurance and more.

As part of The Advantage Specialist in Travel consortium we also have access to our own direct contracts that are often cheaper than the packages you find in brochures. We'll always look at both options for you and give you the opportunity to save money wherever possible, without lowering your standards.
