Cruise Routes Recenzje 

Cruise Routes were the first, although not the only, travel company we contacted when we came up with the idea of a polar cruise. From the initial contact they were extremely helpful and clearly very knowledgeable about the type of holiday we wanted. We were given detailed options of what was available and, once booked, kept us well informed of pre-cruise requirements. They booked our travel to and from the cruise ship and were very helpful when it became necessary to make some changes due to external circumstances. We had a brilliant holiday that lived up to all expectations and I would have no hesitation in recommending Cruise Routes as a first class travel company.

We wanted to do an arctic cruise - but had little idea where to start.
We had a great range of options presented by Cruise Routes when we first discussed the trip and James Townsend was so helpful answering questions and providing information.
The booking process was really easy and both James and Jane Coy were really fantastic with sorting out all our additional hotels, flights and our kayaking excursion.
We had the most amazing trip to Svalbard. Everything was seamless. And the MyRoutes app is just fantastic for managing everything.
I cannot recommend Cruise Routes enough! Amazing service. Thank you so much!!

I had never been on a cruise before and really wanted a small ship to see the islands off Scotland from the sea. I had so many questions, from what to bring to how to pick a cabin to what to expect. Jane, from Cruise Routes/Polar Routes, was unbelievably helpful and among other things, helped me pick the perfect cabin for the trip, which I was delighted with. I will certainly use this company (and ask for Jane) if I go on another cruise to this part of the world.

The cruise itself was absolutely wonderful. The cabin was comfortable and had everything I needed (including enough hot water). The crew was friendly and ready to help at every point, and the expedition leaders were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The ship's captain, consulting with the expedition chief, took us in to places that a less skilled captain could not have, in conditions that were often quite difficult (wind and waves). I was able to see so many of the sites I had been reading about for years.

My one complaint about the trip was that the very wide (probably man-sized) Muck boots we were issued for onshore expeditions just did not work for my skinny foot. Even with two insoles and two pairs of thick socks, my whole leg and foot rattled around with every step and gave me blisters, to the extent that I couldn't walk more than a few feet comfortably or without my socks sliding under my foot. If I had known this I would have brought my own perfectly good waterproof boots (from Aigle and Sorel if you want to know), which I can walk all day in. However, I made do with hiking boots with gaiters, and did all right as there were no bad water landings. It turned out to be a minor problem on this particular trip, and now I know. But I strongly suggest that the company source an alternative brand for people whose feet are narrow—one of the expedition guides had the same problem. It might spoil your trip if you had a lot of walking planned and had to wear the overly wide boots to get to land.

I enjoyed the food and drink on board. Personally I would have been happy with simpler meals and less elaborate dishes, but I have no complaints. I am mostly a vegetarian and there were always plenty of vegetarian options, and the breakfast spread was plentiful. The waiters and cooks seemed to really want us all to enjoy ourselves.

What a good experience this first cruise was in every way. Of course, now I want to go back again.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Polar Routes. They were extremely attentive and helpful at every stage of the booking process, and pre departure.
A big thank you to Jane in the office.
Our travel rep, Michelle, was brilliant and really made the trip special.

Excellent support throughout the booking and pre-trip period, especially when experiencing difficulties getting fit to travel clearance.

Kasey our travel advisor has been brilliant. This is the second holiday she has organised for us, both being excellent in every way. Flights, pre and post accommodations have been brilliant.
Polar Routes App has had several updates since 2024 and been really good with electronic travel documents, a detailed itinerary, reminders for checking ins etc etc. Our travel companions were fascinated to see the App.

Enthusiastic and knowledgable about differing Antartica cruises
Took time to understand what we wanted from the trip
Made several changes to our original ideas with no complaints..or pressure to buy
Used polar routes together with sister company latin routes
Communication throughout was excellent
Internal flight cancellations rapidly sorted by ream with new flight and hotel booking ..and rebooked an excursion as a private tour at earlier time so we would still see the glacier at E l Calafte
All transfers /guides were professional and very helpful

Our agent was very knowledgeable and helpful. She was easy to contact directly by phone or email. The My Routes app was very useful for reference information. We would recommend using Polar Routes.

Jane at Polar Routes really listened to the kind of cruise we were looking for and went above and beyond and delivered 100% on it! Excellent communication throughout and prompt responses to all our queries.

Excellent and informative assistance with holiday to Antarctica

A trip to Antarctica is a holiday of a lifetime and Polar Routes were fantastic in recommending just the perfect trip for me as well as organising the amazing add ons to the cruise.

A family member had recommended Polar Routes and a particular member of staff for organising my trip to Antartica. I couldn't have been more pleased with the holiday that was put together. With service like this and the complete removal of stress i can't really understand why anyone would organise things for themselves! Made life so easy and absolutely delivered what I was looking for. Really really excellent

I booked an Antarctic cruise through Polar routes. The agent spent a long time going through different options and he had access to many operators as well as having taken the trips himself. This gave me great confidence and the booking process and availability for questions was excellent. My trip itself exceeded even my high expectations.

We had the most amazing trip arranged by Kasey Green at Polar Routes.

She quickly identified a cruise to meet our specific requirements.

When we contacted her she always responded promptly and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire process.

This was our first time working with Polar Routes but it will definitely not be the last.

Nick and Charlotte

Our journey to Antarctica and Argentina was absolutely amazing. From planning to execution, everything was seamlessly organized. Polar Routes provided superb suggestions for our itinerary. The expedition cruise with Ponant was exceptional, and we cherished each experience. I definitely suggest Polar Routes to others.

The polar routes team was very communicative and knowledgeable about helping us find the right cruise line for us. They found us a great deal for that year with an unforgettable bonus excursion. Once committed, they were very responsive to our follow up questions and were with us thru our hand off to the cruise line.

Fantastic holiday to Antarctica & Argentina. Very well organised from the moment we started to plan our trip through to the trip details. Great recommendations from the team at Polar Routes for our itinerary. Excellent expedition cruise experience with Ponant. Enjoyed every moment. Would highly recommend Polar Routes.

From my first e-mail to a fond farewell, Polar Routes were exemplary. All my questions/concerns were handled promptly and professionally. The cruise operator that they recommended was exactly what I had hoped for and more. I will definitely be working with Polar Routes again and again.

Found me an excellent deal which led to a fantastic adventure.
