Luxury cruises in Manchester

“We used Manchester Travels back in 2019 when we went hajj. The service provided by Hafiz Shahin, Kamal bhai and the team was exceptional, they made us feel very comfortable from start to finish. It was then that we promised, we will use Manchester Travels for our family umrah. They didn't disappoint again, as expected, guiding us all the way thorough. My kids felt so relaxed and at home. Having used Manchester Travels twice now, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. I highly recommend them for anyone considering booking Hajj or Umrah.”

“Andy advised us on our Norwegian cruise a few years ago. He searched for cruise line options, then gave options available to us, best cabins to meet our requirements, parking at port v transport to port v on board credit. We were able to make informed decisions and had a great cruise. so much so we have returned for our next booking. We want to sail from Southampton again. Andy finds the cruises to our required destinations, dates and costs. Once we've picked the cruise, Andy has again guided us through the options. All booked, with minimum hassle, maximum guidance. thank you Andy.”

“Just been on the 3 hour Sunday Lunch cruise, it was excellent; the food and service is first rate and better than many 'dry-land' restaurants, the chef deserves a special mention, superb ! Will definitely be booking again.”

“A perfect way to beat the heat on a warm summer’s day! The cruise was excellent, with an engaging, well-spoken guide who shared plenty of interesting facts. The crew were warm and helpful, and the boarding point—right under the Millennium Footbridge by The Lowry Theatre—was clearly signposted. Great value for money, offering a chance to explore hidden corners of Manchester and Salford you wouldn’t normally see, including MediaCity, The Lowry, the Imperial War Museum North, Old Trafford, and the historic Manchester Ship Canal. Absolutely worth it!”

“Having been chasing our tails trying to rebook a cruise with Iglu, we gave up and went to Six Star Cruises instead. We have been dealing with Stacey who has been very helpful and efficient and has dealt with all the details that we have been able to book so far. As it is two yeas away there are a number of details outstanding left to arrange, but we feel confident that Stacey will guide us through our best choices as and when they become available.”

“Well worth £10 to enjoy a sunny* boat trip to Media City and back, with interesting commentary. *Sun not guaranteed”

“We did the Rhine River cruise on the Emerald Destiny in April of 2025. It was a wonderful experience. The boat is comfortable, and the crew greets you with, “Welcome Home!” The service on board, the friendliness and professionalism of the crew, the food and excursions made for what is truly the experience of a lifetime. It was our first trip to Europe (and may be the only one we get to take), and we couldn’t have been happier.”

“What a company! After Lufthansa shafted me and my wife by cancelling our business flights less than 24 hours before departure and having our money for nearly a year, Cruise Club UK stepped in to rescue us. Despite Lufthansa saying no flights were available, cruise club uk were able to find flights. Thank you so much and we will recommend this company to our friends.”

“Jon fletcher has in the past found my husband and I a great deal on our holiday.,nothing is to much trouble for him and I would go as far as to say that he even goes that extra mile!My husband and I would recommend Jon to anyone.......Great customer service and all done with a smile.”

“Place of work fab people great atmosphere good brews!! What more can you want”

“What an amazing 9 days in South America! The destinations and excursions were spectacular; every member of staff was incredible, from the friendly hotel, bar and waiters, to the expert discovery team. Scenic Eclipse II was stunning and has absolutely everything you could ask for - our food on board was outstanding and the array of dining venues provided an amazing variety of options and styles to enjoy each day – Night Market was a particular highlight and something I’ll never forget. Scenic went above and beyond from start to finish, including an impromptu city tour of Lima on our final day before we departed on an evening flight. An unforgettable journey and we can’t wait for our next trip.”

“Black Opal Travel Group planned the most incredible USA driving tour for me and my family. Every step of the way we were looked after, all our requests and family's needs were accommodated. Everything ran smoothly from departure to return. We highly recommend Black Opal and our Personal Travel Designer Marie Ferriday and will be planning our next trip with them as soon as we can.”

“Catherine arranged a fantastic holiday for us with a great deal of care and attention. Our trip to New York was so special, our hotel was in a brilliant location with amazing views and excellent service. Thank you Catherine we can’t wait to book our next trip!”

“Excellent experience, very smooth booking.”

“I booked my holiday through Isobel at the TUI Superstore and the whole experience was genuinely brilliant. I popped into the store a few weeks ago and she gave me a perfectly curated shortlist of options based on exactly what I was looking for. She really listened — and it showed. Every recommendation was spot-on, to the point it was actually hard to choose. After taking some time to think, I called back and Isobel helped me tailor our top choice and get it booked seamlessly over the phone. The entire process felt supported, simple, and surprisingly enjoyable. Having her expert knowledge on hand meant I finally felt confident in my decision… instead of disappearing into weeks (let’s be honest, months) of online scrolling and still booking nothing. Thank you, Isobel — you turned what could’ve been a faff into something effortless. I’ll absolutely be booking with you again.”
