Set sail from Liverpool on a delightful mini cruise to Ireland, beginning with the historic town of Cobh, our call lets you explore its cobbled streets and maritime heritage.

This charming journey offers the perfect blend of history, local traditions, and authentic Irish experiences before a smooth return to Liverpool.

Crissy Rock

Guest Speaker

Crissy Rock is one of the UK’s most beloved comedic talents, known for her hilarious one-woman stand-up shows and her iconic role as Janey York in ITV’s hit series Benidorm (Series 1–4, 7). She also earned critical acclaim for her award-winning performance in Ken Loach’s Ladybird Ladybird. Crissy rose to national prominence with her appearance on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2012, and her bestselling autobiography The Heart Within Me Burns (2011) spent seven months in the Sunday Times Top Ten. A series of TV appearances—including This Morning, Loose Women, The Chase, and Come Dine With Me—further cemented her popularity. After filming Benidorm, Crissy stayed in Spain, becoming the resort’s top female comic with up to 10 shows a week. She returned to the UK stage with pantomime roles, including the Wicked Queen in Snow White, the Fairy Godmother in Sleeping Beauty, and a national tour of Dirty Dusting. Recent TV highlights include The Full Monty: Who Bares Wins (ITV1), Celebs on the Farm (5Star), and Celebrity MasterChef (BBC One). In 2021, she toured with Menopause 2: The Musical and launched her first UK comedy tour. In 2023–2024, Crissy appeared on The Great Yorkshire Auction (Discovery+), headlined her own solo show across the Northwest, and toured comedy clubs and theatres nationwide. With more tour dates planned for 2025, Crissy continues to delight audiences across the UK.

fairly painless online booking and when I had to ring to clarify a minor point the agent was immediate, informed and clear in his information.

Very good and helpful.

Trusted Customer

“Ambition”

Quick and friendly

Kathryn Robinson

“Booking a cruise”

Reasonably simple and straightforward, however, there was no option for only booking one "drinks package", as one party member is a non drinker therefore it's a waste and unnecessary expenditure.

Trusted Customer

“Clear and easy to book”

So far it has been easy, though I will have to see how it all turns out by the time we set sail.

Trusted Customer

“Cabin selection”

I was booking online. Came to choosing a cabin but couldn't see how. It just offered cabin I didn't want. I went all the way out and then back in and it again offered another cabin which was acceptable. I think you need clearer help on selecting a specific cabin after choosing a category.
