Holidays with the personal touch

We have yet to go on our booked holiday however Optimus Holidays and Kenny have made the booking process very smooth.

We have booked a Princess cruise holiday for October 2026 and Kenny listened to the requirements, made some suggestions and was able to secure an excellent cabin on the ship.

The flights have still to be organised but he is going to look at availability from airports other than London which was an excellent suggestion.

I found him to be very helpful throughout and we feel very reassured that we will have a wonderful trip next year.

Canadian Adventure

Our trip involved flights, hotels, train travel and a cruise. The team at Optimus did a great job with the arrangements. Had a minor hiccup with where to get off the train but Kenny did his very best to help. Will certainly consider using Optimus again.

Top service and value

Just returned from a two week cruise package including flights, hotel stays and transfers. Excellent service and very good value for money. Kenny looked after all details from start to finish, and assisted us with any queries or questions we had during and after booking. Definitely recommended and will be looking to use Optimus again for our future cruise holidays.

Look no further for travel assistance than Optimus Holidays

Optimus Holidays is a full-service agency with top-notch agents, focusing on delivering the best prices with service that is unparalleled even in the States where the travel market is vast, far larger than that of the U.K. Kenny has not only fulfilled what our needs are in his time zone, but he's also assisted us in our time zone which is eight hours behind his. His concern is our utmost satisfaction and the best guest experience on our cruise, with flights that cause not a hitch in connecting. We thank him wholeheartedly and recommend him for booking even the trips with the trickiest connections.

I’ve never been on a cruise before

I’ve never been on a cruise before, I’m travelling on my own, and off to Australia with an Optimus Holidays cruise, and Kenny was very helpful in explaining everything and adding other personal excursions and layovers onto this package. I’m now really looking forward to my specially tailored holiday next year.

Excellent experience

It was our first cruise. We had an excellent experience right from the time of booking till the cruise ended. Got a nice upgraded room with balcony and some cash to spent on the ship. Would highly recommend.

This review is about the booking experience ONLY

I recently booked a cruise through Optimus Holidays
We have NOT been on the holiday yet

The booking service by Optimus Holidays– and especially Sharon has been excellent. She went out of her way to help us secure a great cabin and flights.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank her directly.

Fingers Crossed the cruise is equally as good!

First time with Optimus, but not the last

We contacted Optimus for the first time and spoke to Eric. We had not used the company before. Eric answered all our questions. I said we needed to think about it. No problem was the reply. When would you like me to call you back. We gave a date and time, and he called back. We had more questions, and he answered them all. So, we booked our fabulous holiday. Everything went like clockwork. Flights, transfers, hotels, cruise. Everything. We had a fabulous holiday in NewZealand and Australia and cruise. Eric was amazing. I would recommend Optimus without hesitation

We had a fantastic holiday to Australia…

We had a fantastic holiday to Australia and New Zealand, totally worry free, thanks to the excellent planning from Eric at Optimus Holidays. The choice and location of all the hotels pre and post cruise were first rate. All transfers were there on time and everything worked seamlessly. What a great company, great service and great price. Well done, I will certainly be using them again and would highly recommend this company,

Kenny is wonderful

Kenny is wonderful, after being let down by a larger agency he resolved and made my booking without any issues. He was prompt effecient and kept me updated. He phoned as promised and he is always polite and courteous. Going forward I wont be using anyone else.

We're off to Australia with Optimus

We are very pedantic people but Richard was extremely helpful and responded to all our questions - and we had many - very quickly.
Our Australia trip is not for a few months but we are very excited as it's a big celebration for us.
Everything is in place now and Richard - and Optimus - has been helpful all the time and we feel reassured that all holiday arrangements - stay and cruise - will go as planned.
