À propos de Elite Cruises

Écrit par l'entreprise


I'm Francesca Barone the owner of Elite Cruises and I've been in the travel industry for over 30 years. Specializing, for the most part, in the luxury/ultra-luxury cruise (and hotel) sector, my knowledge is vast and I have a black book jam packed with all the connections in the right places, that we'll ever need, amassed over these decades. My reputation amongst clients (many of whom have been loyal for decades), and suppliers alike is excellent.

Elite Cruise's ethos is to be accessible to you at all times; no multi option frustrating hold queues; our attention to detail; our genuine care and concern to find you the ship and/or hotel that best aligns with your personal requirements and expectations.

Whether you'd like a simple 'off the shelf' holiday or a multi destination complicated bespoke package put together the service, professionalism and knowledge offered will be identical. You are safe in the knowledge that your reservations/s are being handled by a fully ABTA/ATOL bonded agency.

We have literally hundreds of suppliers to tap into to fulfil your travel needs, reinforced by the knowledge to know who to approach for what on your behalf.

With us business is personal and we very much look forward to being of service.

Simply the Best

In 1997 we booked our first Silversea cruise with a travel company that was only distinguished by the Agent we dealt with. This was my first meeting with Francesca. When, subsequently Francesca started her own company we, of course, followed her. In all that time, over many and varied bookings, she has never failed to provide us with a totally personal service, detailed, timely, accurate, proactive, available: superb beyond belief. For a Travel Agent to book a World Cruise for a client is not easy. The complications are numerous and often difficult to resolve; Francesca is a total professional in this difficult area of cruising as she has proved to me three times!
Keep going Francesca! The Travel scene would be a poorer place without you.

Thanks very much Barry. It's been a complete pleasure looking after your cruise requirements for 25 years (though that figure is slightly worrying as we must be that much older)! You are a joy to work with and I very much forward to the prospect of continuing to reach and hopefully exceed your expectations.

Francesca Barone is the travel agent you have been looking for!

Francesca offers and provides a fully personalised cruise and holiday travel package. She organised the honeymoon holiday for my son and his beautiful wife. She was available for all their queries and her friendly, patient approach to organising their holiday meant that the whole experience ensured they had the honeymoon holiday they had always dreamed of!
I have known Francesca for over 20 years and have always been impressed by her commitment to her clients and her professional approach to her company. She has a wide knowledge of the cruise industry and will ensure her clients
have their holiday requests met at every level.

Thanks Carol. After these few decades of looking after you and George, it continues to be a real pleasure. Getting to spend some quality time together when we were on Silver Moon in September was wonderful. Our unexpected larger group for dinner in Kaiseki was such fun (and yum) 😋😊

Once is not enough

Forgive the length of this review, but I think there is merit in the right audience reading this, if it be one that isn’t one choosing a business by recommendation thus is looking for its own confirmation ahead of engaging.

Unlike the vast majority that have and will write here; I have only used Elite Cruises once and once only. Normally I’m not relationship driven; rightly or wrongly I consider myself savvy enough to research extensively and make my own purchase decisions directly with providers. However, I haven’t cruised for quite a while, and at the start of that research I quickly established rather uniquely the cruise product market seems to better serve clients by encouraging them to use agents, rather than by booking direct. This is why is used Elite Cruises. I came across Francesca purely through social media research, and no form of recommendation. Very quickly I gained a sense of complete professionalism, and went on to receive a booking experience at a level well beyond anything I have experienced previously that might compare, through an individual travel agent. After the initial voice engagement the ongoing service was concluded via email. Everything that was promised was delivered, and where things didn’t quite go to plan towards the embarkation date they were resolved quickly and diligently. In my own work I deal with high value clients and hold strong beliefs that three important behaviours are key to being successful – honesty, integrity and trust. Elite Cruises absolutely demonstrates all of this. Though it doesn’t stop there. Just take a look at the level of detail that Francesca shares on social media when she gets to travel on some the cruise lines that you will be considering. You literally will be left with very little left to ask ahead of stepping on board.

So if you are, like me, one for detail, like to research and know everything before making financial commitments, the pre-sale, post purchase and pre-travel experience you are about to commit to really will be as memorable as the trip itself surely will be. Would I use Elite Cruises again? Like everyone else pretty much already has done; absolutely. I wish I could book everything like this but I appreciate service like this has a value.

No pressure holidays

I did not have to worry about a thing every thing I wanted was looked into and made possible- ie a few days in Dubai after our trip to India. No need to worry about visas paperwork flights etc Francisca dealt with everything and all we had to do was pack a case. Could not recommend her more, went on a Med cruise with this company and once again everything was top class. If you want a super holiday with no pressure and someone else to do all the hard work - this company ticks all the boxes

Francesca dealt with our latest booking with her usual professionalism, and care, in addition she is very intuitive regarding our preferences.

Because of her personal knowledge of the various luxury cruise lines and their ships she can offer really good advice and assistance.
