Platinum Service Award Winners

Average Customer Rating: 4.9/5

Absolutely awesome

The service we had to get to the right cruise and for it to be fine tuned to suit our needs was exceptional. We were looked after by Nicola Boyd whose knowledge and help was second to none.

Mr Craddock / December 2023

Festive Cruise to the Canaries

Even although Scotland's Cruise Centre is booking holidays for customers all the time, our agent Debbie took a real interest in booking our voyage and was excited at the prospect of the itinerary we had chosen. 1st class, prompt service too.

Mr McDonald / November 2023

Nothing is too much trouble

I have booking with this company for years and have told lots of family and friends about the fantastic, professional and friendly service you offer. You simply are in my opinion the best - I wouldn't go anywhere else
