Since 2012 we have had the pleasure of booking many customers on cruises by many of the biggest lines in the world & have created a social media forum via Facebook, with over seven thousand members & picking up multiple travel accolades along the way.
With that in the forefront of our mind, over the last six months we have been putting the foundations in place to create a new forum running parallel to our solo cruise forum by Passion for Cruises.
Our new community Solo Holiday Forum by PFC will connect our independent cruisers with fellow single travellers looking at air & land based holidays inclusive of Escorted Touring.
At our Cardiff Headquarters both Passion for Cruises & Cartwirght Travel pride themselves on their strong relationships with product & purchasing teams at many of the UK’s ABTA & ATOL bonded tour operators, who are currently helping us secure zero & low priced single supplements for our followers & future travellers.
