Luxury Cruise Travel Agent Focus - Mundy Cruising
When booking a holiday most of us have a preferred travel site or travel agent. Sometimes we might even rather book everything ourselves direct with the supplier, from the comfort of our armchair.
However, when it comes to a cruise holiday, it is sensible to use an expert to navigate the myriad of options and considerations to ensure you get the cruise that is right for you. That is particularly true when considering a luxury voyage where you need that expertise even more.
In this, the first of a new series of articles looking at cruise specialists, I am going to highlight one of the UK’s leading companies in luxury cruise travel, Mundy Cruising.
Who Are Mundy Cruising?
Established in 1970, Mundy Cruising are multi-award-winning luxury cruise specialists, based in London, United Kingdom. They have been in operation for several decades, providing personalised and tailored cruise experiences for their clients. Mundy Cruising focuses on curating high-end cruise journeys, offering a range of options to various destinations worldwide. Their expertise lies in crafting bespoke cruise itineraries, ensuring that each client’s preferences and expectations are met with a luxurious and memorable experience.
History of Mundy Cruising
Mundy Cruising has the distinction of being the very first travel agency to specialise in cruising. Established by visionary, Paul Mundy, some fifty years ago, to offer cruise holidays to a small, elite clientele, Mundy Cruising’s experience in the sector, has ensured its place as the expert in luxury cruising.
In 1999 the company was bought by husband and wife team Matthew and Edwina Lonsdale. Edwina had long-standing in the industry, with 15 years cruise experience at the time, whilst Matthew was a marketing guru. Now with four decades of luxury cruise expertise in her suitcase, Edwina overseas a team of like-minded colleagues, who are experts in their own rights.
What is the Mundy Cruising Difference?
Unequivocally, Mundy Cruising has been around the longest, curating the perfect cruise vacations, and has won a considerable amount of awards and accolades over that time. They offer a personal service to create the perfect luxury trip, with a dedicated Cruise Consultant to advise and assist at every stage of your booking and holiday. You can of course research and make an enquiry online or by telephone, but you can also have a face-to-face consultation (as long as you can get to their offices in London). This is not just a virtual travel agency, Mundy Cruising also offer customer events hosted by themselves and by cruise lines.
With their unique understanding of the luxury cruise market, Mundy Cruising are well placed to organise every aspect of your cruise from private transport to bespoke tours. They don’t only sell off-the-shelf cruises, but also create memorable, tailor-made trips with pre and/or post cruise stays and experiences, with no additional fee for this service.
Finally, worth noting is that, unlike in many cruise agencies, consultants are salaried, and not on incentives to sell particular products by specific cruise brands, so you can be assured of unbiased advice.
For peace of mind, Mundy Cruising are members of ABTA and offer full ATOL protection, and also offer a “Mayday” service, a 24-hour emergency number to call in the unfortunate event that anything goes wrong on your trip.
Mundy Adventures
In addition to luxury ocean and river cruises, the brand also operate Mundy Adventures, which they refer to as “the intrepid little brother of Mundy Cruising plc”. Selling a huge variety of luxury expedition and adventure cruises, Mundy Adventures carry all the benefits of Mundy Cruising covered above.
