Hi Cruisers,

The big news around here this week is that ecruising has just won the award for Best Individual Cruise Travel Agent in Cruise Passenger's 2008 Readers Awards! We had a big year in 2008 and worked hard to bring you the best cruise packages and the best service, so winnng an award like this is really satisfying for all of us here at ecruising. From Brett, Philippa and the team, we'd like to say a big Thank You to all our clients and industry friends... Particularly those who voted!
