When your clients are travelling halfway across the world for a cruise, why limit their adventure to just the days at sea? First Class Cruise specialise exclusively in long-haul, tailormade cruise holidays, and we believe that our customer’s journey should be as unforgettable on land as it is on the water.
Our new brand offers customers long-haul cruise experiences, with tailored pre- and post-cruise itineraries. Visit our new website and request our brand new brochure featuring a selection of handpicked itineraries and inspiration covering ocean, river, expedition, luxury, and tall ship cruising across seven continents.
Bespoke pre and post-cruise stays in long-haul destinations
We offer 100% personalised itineraries that allow your clients to extend their holiday with carefully curated pre- and post-cruise stays in some of the world’s most iconic and exotic destinations. Whether they’re starting their voyage in Singapore, ending it in Cape Town, or setting sail from Sydney, we ensure their time ashore is just as exceptional as their time aboard.
Pre-cruise stays: Begin your journey in style
Long-haul travel often involves significant flight time, time zone changes, and the need to adjust to new environments. That’s why arriving early, before a cruise sets sail, is not just practical, it’s essential.
We’ll help you turn your client’s arrival into the start of something special. They can unwind in a five-star beachfront resort in Bali, enjoy a guided street food tour through Bangkok, or take an iconic rail journey through the Canadian Rockies before stepping onto their ship to sail to wild Alaska. Each itinerary is tailored to their interests and pace, with accommodation, transfers and experiences handpicked by our travel specialists.
Post-cruise stays: Don’t rush home, discover more
After days at sea and ports of call, many travellers aren’t quite ready to head straight to the airport – and we don’t think they should. Our post-cruise stays are designed to help them slow down, soak in their final destination, and make the most of their time abroad.
If they’ve just stepped off a cruise in Los Angeles, they can spend a few nights exploring Beverly Hills or wine-tasting in Santa Barbara. Finished their journey in Cape Town? Extend their adventures with a stay at a luxury game lodge. Whether your customers are seeking relaxation, adventure, or a little of both, we’ll create a post-cruise experience that fits them perfectly.
Truly personalised, seamlessly delivered
What makes First Class Cruise different is our focus on long-haul tailormade travel and our personalised service. Our team brings years of expertise in long-haul cruising, so you can trust us to know the best places to stay, the ideal length of time to spend in a destination, and how to make each moment on land as meaningful as the journey at sea.
More than a cruise – an entire experience
A long-haul cruise deserves more than a standard itinerary. With bespoke pre- and post-cruise stays from First Class Cruise, you can turn holidays into a fully immersive travel experience, exploring world-class destinations in depth and at your client’s own pace.
