Cruise Search
We're Highly Rated!
Audley travel was the tour we chose and I would thoroughly recommend them. We were treated like royalty and felt very privileged.
In short, if you want a tailormade special trip, go to Ponders and the girls will sort you out!











Thank you so much to everyone at Ponders for helping my husband create the most amazing mini break.



The kids absolutely loved it and everything was so well organised and run so smoothly! All questions were answered promptly and in detail and it was so reassuring knowing we were in safe hands!
Thank you so so much for all of your help, expert advice and support. We can’t wait to book our next trip with Ponders very soon. xx


Anyone out there looking for a recommendation - Ponders Travel are the absolute BEST! ✅✅✅


These wonderful ladies are truly fantastic and we would not entertain looking elsewhere for another travel company.
They have booked us short UK trips, European breaks to cruises and even arranged our wedding for us in Miami, before going onto Buenos Aires then on the Regent South American venture for our honeymoon!
We certainly set Clare and the girls a challenge! We could not have envisaged unforeseen problems getting married in Miami but Clare went beyond the line of duty to make sure our day was memorable! You wouldn’t get that service with any high street travel company.
A first class service and part of the family now!



They searched the destinations we’d requested and gave us a short list, this saved us so much time. Everyone at Ponders was lovely and our holiday in France was perfect.
We would highly recommend and will definitely use them again.









The children are aged between 18 and 8 and all had so much to do. The food was amazing and the places we visited were fantastic. It is amazing waking up in a different place every day and was excellent value as every drink, slushy, ice cream, crepe is included so you know exactly what you are paying up front. The teenage club was fantastic and our 14 year old boy made so many friends on the first day that we hardly saw him!!
All the transfers organised by ponders were spot on and I would recommend them as a company to anyone. Will be using them to book next year's holiday without a doubt!!






Do you rely on personal advice?
At Ponders Travel we are so fortunate as a team to have travelled extensively. We know how important it is when deciding on your holiday plans that each destination, hotel, ship or other has been tried and tested. We only use highly reputed tour operators and cruise lines that we know will provide you with a top-class experience, no matter what!
Not only do we know and trust the operators we use, between us we have seen a lot of the destinations, over 120 individual cruise ships, and many hotels with our own eyes! We have compiled an extensive list of just a few of our favourite destinations and our top 10 tips for each one! You can find this by hovering over the ‘Holiday Essentials’ tab, or by taking a look at each holiday type and destination above!
Not only that, but you can also find write ups of our cruising personal experiences in the cruising tab!
These share just a fraction of the knowledge and experience we have as a team – it would take years to compile everything! – but we hope this gives you some guidance and inspiration for your next Ponders Travel holiday.
