Skylord Cruise and Holidays is the newest and most exciting evolution of a long-established, trusted travel brand. As part of Skylord Travel PLC, a company that’s been at the forefront of the UK travel industry since the 1980s, our new cruise and holiday division builds on over four decades of success, innovation, and deep industry relationships. We’re proud to say that Skylord Travel has worked with hundreds of travel agencies across the UK, offering highly competitive scheduled flights and custom travel services. With this rich legacy and proven track record, Skylord Cruise and Holidays is now poised to bring that same trusted service to the world of cruise holidays and beyond.
At the heart of this expansion is a handpicked team of cruise industry veterans. With decades of combined experience, our incoming cruise specialists bring an unmatched level of knowledge and extensive contacts across the cruising world, from budget-friendly lines to the most exclusive ultra-luxury experiences. We’re not just joining the cruise industry, we’re elevating it.
What Sets Us Apart
What truly differentiates Skylord Cruise and Holidays is our bespoke, curated approach. We don’t just offer cruises, we create extraordinary experiences tailored to every customer’s travel dreams. Our portfolio includes:
Cruise and Stay Packages: Seamlessly combining iconic land experiences with unforgettable cruise itineraries.
Cruise and Rail Holidays: Marrying the elegance of train travel with the allure of the seas.
Worldwide Itineraries: From the fjords of Norway to the islands of the South Pacific, we provide unmatched variety.
Specialist Breaks: Including European football weekend escapes, Formula One Grand Prix packages, and multi-centre global holidays.
What’s more, our offerings are carefully constructed with our travel agent partners in mind. Every product is designed to be both easy to sell and offer high-margin earning potential, giving agents the ability to grow their business and wow their clients with one-of-a-kind experiences. Our focus is dual, with offers created for B2B agent partners and direct B2C to customers online and through our network of UK stores in Rickmansworth, Manchester, Leeds and Birmingham.
Our Virtual Edge: Meet Miss Skylord and Captain Skylord
Skylord Cruise and Holidays is also proud to be leading the way in digital engagement and sales support. We’ve introduced two virtual brand ambassadors: Miss Skylord, our friendly and knowledgeable virtual rep for holidays, and Captain Skylord, our charismatic cruise specialist.
These avatars aren’t just gimmicks, they’re part of our commitment to innovative communication. Miss Skylord and Captain Skylord will appear in product and training videos, explain complex offerings with clarity and enthusiasm, and guide agents and customers alike through our evolving travel portfolio. With virtual assistance becoming more mainstream, we’re embracing the future with tools that educate, entertain, and empower.
Support That Goes the Extra Mile
At Skylord Cruise and Holidays, we believe that training and support are the foundation of success. That’s why we’re launching an ongoing programme of:
Professional training videos, featuring Captain Skylord and our expert team.
Virtual webinars to keep agents up-to-date with the latest offerings.
Live presentations and in-person training events, helping our partners stay engaged and confident.
We don’t just give you tools, we teach you how to use them effectively. Our focus is not only on delivering amazing products but on building strong, long-term partnerships with our agents and supporting their growth every step of the way.
A Business Built on Vision and Trust
Founded by passionate travel professionals, Skylord Travel has remained independent and resilient in an ever-changing industry. Our longevity and adaptability are testaments to a business built on integrity, personal relationships, and a love for travel. That same ethos carries through into Skylord Cruise and Holidays.
With the cruise sector showing tremendous growth post-pandemic, we believe this is the perfect time to launch a fresh, forward-thinking cruise brand that combines the reliability of a legacy business with the flexibility and innovation of a modern startup. Whether it’s a maiden voyage for a first-time cruiser or a once-in-a-lifetime bucket list journey, we want to be the brand people trust and remember.
Looking Ahead
This is only the beginning. Our roadmap includes the rollout of a full suite of product-specific videos, more experiential itineraries, and new destination pairings that will take the concept of tailor-made travel to the next level. With consumer interest in cruising growing globally, particularly for flexible, multi-experience journeys – Skylord Cruise and Holidays is ready to lead the charge.
We’re not just launching a cruise division. We’re building a movement that redefines how agents sell, how travellers explore, and how experiences are curated. Our promise is simple: to deliver exceptional service, extraordinary holidays, and exciting opportunities for everyone we work with.
Welcome aboard Skylord Cruise and Holidays – where your journey starts, and the possibilities are endless.
