“We are delighted to be working in partnership with the Travel Channel’s Cruise Today and Discover Cruises to bring cruise to a wider audience.
“The level of innovation, the quality of service and accommodation, the exceptionally high standard of cuisine and the value for money that cruise has to offer needs to be celebrated.
