In stark contrast to the rapid development in recent years of the global cruise conglomerates and the growing trend towards newer larger resort style vessels, World Cruises Agency, acting as Agents for the ship-owners and trading as Classic International Cruises, continue to operate smaller, more traditional tonnage, at the highest standards of customer satisfaction, whilst maintaining their much cherished independence and conservative approach to business and traditional maritime heritage.

While in today's marketplace many of the mainstream cruise line brands have lost their independence, the companies trading under the Classic International Cruises trademark are proud to have retained their autonomy and to have earned the right to be placed within a diminishing elite group of very well established, yet truly independent, shipping companies.

One of Classic International Cruises' unique key operational strengths has been the ability to deploy ships in different markets, providing products that are tailor-made for each specific market.

Classic International Cruises Informal Style

The Classic International Cruises brand is associated with a relaxing, friendly and informal style of cruising and a memorable "value for money" cruising experience. With over 20 years experience in ship management and cruise operations, our Principals believe that the shipping companies they provide ship management services to, are well placed to capitalise on the challenges ahead whilst continuing to cherish their independence.

From the moment that you rise, there is something to do, or not if that is your preference. The Daily Programme prepared by your Cruise Manager and delivered to your cabin each evening, charts the day's events.

Avoid the early morning aerobics, if you just want to take it easy and watch the world go by from a sun lounger. You may also opt to miss out on a craft class, an informative shore excursion lecture describing the ports of call or a challenging quiz, but it is your holiday and the choice is yours. One of the joys of cruising aboard smaller ships is the growing camaraderie that comes from being amongst a select number of guests, so it is quite probable that you may wish to spend some time with new found friends. Perhaps you will join for a drink before dinner to plan that day ashore together.

As the day draws to its close, the ships lights go up and the air is filled with the expectation of the evening ahead. After a day ashore or relaxing around the pool, it's back to the comfort of your cabin for a refreshing shower, a change of clothes and the chance to dress up for a night out. A leisurely dinner with good food and good company is undoubtedly a highlight but now there are more choices; a cognac or liqueur coffee in one of the lounges, tonight's floorshow ' maybe it's Moulin Rouge or Hello Sunshine! - perhaps a few hands of blackjack in the casino or take to the floor for that dance or two that you haven't managed to have since, well... your last cruise.
