who are we?

PicknCruise commenced trading in 2000, solely as cruise specialists. Whilst acknowledging that we were not the first in the marketplace, our aim from the outset was to modernise the way that cruise pricing was being shown to the public.

The launch in 2001 of our cruise search engine made the task of locating cruise fares that much easier and at the time, was probably the most comprehensive of its kind.

Our expansion was assisted by franchising and by 2005, the group had grown to a respectable 13 branches.

Further innovations such as the introduction of video content to the site kept PicknCruise ahead of its numerous competitors, many of whom had become overnight “cruise specialists” as the cruise market continued to grow.

Our recently re-launched search engine is the result of six months development and has once again placed us ahead of most others.

It features a combination of “live fares” sourced from the operator’s own inventory, an availability guide and in some cases, a direct booking facility.

PicknCruise became part of the Fred Olsen Travel Group in 2006 and are members of ABTA (K5183).
