Rita Cross
Senior Consultant | CLIA Ambassador
I first fell in love with cruising on the Fairstar & gee, cruising has changed since those days! Fortunately I have had extensive opportunities to cruise and this type of holiday is also my personal favourite. I always strive to offer my honest advice & best service to my clients. It is important to me that my guests make the most of their travel experiences and are on the right cruise line for them.
What is your favourite cruise destination you visited & why?
Alaska – The scenery, glaciers, history and seeing the wildlife- Amazing! I was fortunate to participate on a Holland America Land/Sea tour combining cruise with touring through the Yukon. Alaska should be on everyone’s list. Another favourite was cruising to Papua New Guinea.
What is your favourite cruise ship & why?
Ovation of the Seas – All ships have their own special features but Ovation (and Sister ship Quantum) are incredible. Not many places you can skydive at sea! These are fantastic ships for multi - generational family holidays.
Favourite cruise tip you give your clients
Always have a good look around at the start of your cruise to familiarise yourself with the Ship & features onboard. Most cruise lines now have APPS that you can use onboard. Great features such as booking your dining, spa services, shore tours/checking your onboard account/messaging with other guests and of course the daily schedule of what’s on… You don’t want to miss out on anything!
