Everything that happens before you step on the ship. Cruise Planning covers the decisions that shape a sailing — picking a line and a cabin, getting your documents right, sorting travel insurance, and working out whether a drink package or a shore excursion actually pays for itself. These are the questions we field most often as travel advisors, answered the way we’d answer them for a friend: real numbers, the fine print that matters, and no upsell. If you’d rather hand the whole thing off, planning through Hollett’s At Sea costs you nothing extra — but everything here works just as well if you book it yourself.
