First Cruise Concierge for UK

A UK company, White Star Cruises, has launched a dedicated luxury cruise and yacht concierge service, aimed at travellers seeking the most exclusive cruises imaginable.

White Star Cruises works with 12 ultra-luxury cruise lines, four river cruise lines and has access to some to the best yacht charters in the world. Every vacation is tailor-made, whether it’s a luxury Nile cruise or a private crewed yacht exploring the Caribbean’s most exclusive ports.

What’s different about the service is that the White Star Cruises has taken luxury cruise programmes and packaged them with business or first class travel, five star hotels, limousine transfers and one-of-a-kind shore excursions, such as an Aston Martin to be waiting for the pampered guest at every port of call. The concierge team can also take care of anything from sending luggage on ahead via FedEx or arranging pet sitting or a garden makeover back home.

To mark its launch, White Star Cruises has also launched the White Star VIP programme. This exclusive club provides its members with extensive benefits including VIP lounge access and the dedicated Cruise Travel Concierge, offering private tours in each destination. In addition members will receive exclusive cruise travel offers as well shopping offers from luxury brand partners. White Star Cruises will also host a number of VIP member events throughout the year.

Scott Anderson, general manager at White Star Cruises, says: “White Star Cruises provides white-glove service more akin to the great ocean going liners of the 1930s supported by an innovative new website, including the first interactive online cruise brochure service. We will tailor make travel experiences from chartering a yacht for 30 friends to celebrating a special occasion on a classic transatlantic crossing aboard Queen Mary 2.”

A typical package might be a luxury 14-night break combining Le Touessrok in Mauritius with an 11-day Indian Ocean voyage on Silversea Cruises in a suite, with business class flights, limo transfers and exclusive excursions on Mauritius, from around £6,589 per person (the packages are all priced in Sterling).

A transatlantic crossing might be enhanced by business class flights one way, a few nights at a five star hotel in New York and a helicopter tour of Manhattan, with dinner for two in a top restaurant and, of course, Queens Grill cabins for the crossing.

Alternatively, four nights on board Silver Whisper at the Monaco Grand Prix in a suite with business class flights, limousine transfers and access to the F1 Paddock Club costs £7,200 per person.
