Ask us about this hotel
Choosing a cruise is about more than the ship. We match you with the right line and the right route, then book the suite, the flights and a few nights on land before or after, so the whole trip fits together.
We book ocean cruises with luxury lines such as Explora Journeys, expedition voyages to Antarctica and the Galápagos, and private yacht charters.

Liv& Travel was founded by Liv, after a career with some of the world’s most respected ultra-luxury hospitality brands and travels to more than 70 countries.
We work with a small number of clients each year, so every trip gets the time, attention and first-hand knowledge it deserves.
It depends on how you like to travel. Some ships feel like a floating hotel, others like a private yacht or an expedition base. We’ll match the ship, the suite and the route to you.
On luxury lines, usually most drinks, dining, Wi-Fi and gratuities, and sometimes excursions and flights. It varies by line and fare, and we’ll explain exactly what’s included.

Yes. Everyone has their own space, with plenty to do on board and ashore, and you meet for dinner. We can arrange connecting suites and private excursions.
Our itinerary design service, for travellers who book themselves, starts from £500 and comes off your balance if we then book the trip.
Yes. You book the Avios flights with the airline and we arrange everything else. Those flights aren’t covered by our ATOL protection, and we’ll explain what protection applies to the rest.
