Meet John Smith

Having been on many cruises with my family, and enjoyed every single minute of them, I'm very happy to spend my days talking about cruising with customers old and new.

My working life has been spent talking to people, and I'm delighted to be doing that in an industry I love. Many of the customers I've helped over the years have become good friends.

If I've learned one thing, it's to listen carefully and then match, or better, exceed what you're hoping for. My aim is to make booking with Not Just Travel easy and enjoyable, so that you come back to me again and again.

My favourite cruise ship

It has to be the Paul Gauguin, a 300-guest ship based in Tahiti that sails the islands of the South Pacific in understated luxury. Despite the long journey to reach her gangway, I'd return in a heartbeat.

Next on my wish list

A cruise around Japan, and a return to New England and Alaska. Plenty of my customers also tell me to spend as long as I can in Buenos Aires, so that one is creeping up the list too.

Why book your cruise with me?

I have access to some of the best fares available, and if you give me the chance I'll always find you the best deal I can for any cruise.

But the best cruise isn't just the cheapest one. Which side of the ship is best for your itinerary? Balcony or picture window? Which suites are worth the upgrade on a luxury line? Do you want to be close to the nightlife, or as far from it as possible? Are the prices you've seen the final price, and are gratuities included?

So many questions, and you deserve the answers before you part with your hard-earned holiday savings. That's exactly why I use Cruise Match: a few minutes of your time, and I'll know which ships genuinely suit you before we even speak.
