Thomson cruises from Limassol

Post by El tel »

Does anyone know if any of the above cruises around the Greek islands are available at the end of September or early October ?
I have emailed travel agents in Cyprus and received no reply and in addition the Thomsons website in the UK shows cruises but with flights from the UK. We will be in Cyprus at that time and therefor do not need any flights.
Thankyou.

The problem is that most Cypriot companies and individuals do not respond to emails. They will answer the telephone and give you all the facts you may require. Even better still is a visit to the travel agents. If you are not here and have friends here get them to do it for you.

Good Luck.

I did a few of the Thomson cruises from Limassol and loved them , but since Thomson dropped the ability to book without flights I can not be bothered . Nose to spite my face I know , but my choice . Lol

You can book in the UK via phone or a Thomson travel agent. You might have to insist with them that they can book cruise only without the flights. As a price guide, we were quoted £680 for two of us, £340 each, at our local Thomson travel agent for the 29th March cruise from Limassol to Greek islands, Athens and Alanya and Marmaris. We decided not to go as we had already done this cruise twice.
Century are agents for them and their prices are usually slightly more. However they know that you cannot book online so their prices have crept up.
Try bargaining with Thomson. We used the argument that you can't book online anymore since they altered their website so we were missing out on online discount.

Thanks for that , will pop into my local Thomson travel agent tomorrow and see what they say. Further to comments above and other info I have found it looks like the cruises start in November but I can check that out tomorrow.

I can't see why Thomson cannot sell you one of their cruises out of Limmasol without flights from UK, as this then frees up two seats on their aircraft for one of their hotel package holidays in Paphos or Limmasol, surely?

Otherwise, dopey marketing, I think... Cheers- AL :roll:
