Gillett Travel

Gillett Travel ceased trading on September 11th 2009 with more than 4,000 clients having booked holidays with them. Specialising in cruise holidays Gillett Travel was the trading name for G&B Travel and was based in Bolton, Lancashire.

ABTA is advising clients to contact the cruise lines about their bookings with the two largest groups of cruise lines, Complete Cruise Solution (Cunard, P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises and Ocean Village) and Royal Caribbean (Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Cruises) announcing that they will take over the bookings for Gillett Travels clients.

Cruise Travel Agent Goes Bust

A Windsor based Cruise Travel Agent,  Windsor & Neate Travel has apparently gone bust. Thankfully though of little consequence to some, they were members of ABTA as well as a member of Advantage Travel Centres.

This will not be the last holiday company to hit the wall during this recession and probably not the last cruise travel agent either. All companies offering cheap cruises and cheap holidays will have problems if the market does not improve further.
