Yesterday Thomas Cook underwent a total collapse. For some people, this came as little surprise, seeing as how the tour operator has been suffering from strong competition plus a number of other ills for some time. Something that was very much reflected in recent changes in its stock price. However, this came as a huge shock for most people out there, particularly since Thomas Cook has been a pillar of the British travel industry for decades and decades. As such, we would like to offer our sympathies to those who have been stranded outside of the United Kingdom as well as those who livelihoods are now very uncertain because of this most unfortunate incident.
Under the circumstances, it is perfectly natural for our clients to wonder about our travel services as well. After all, if one respected name in the British travel industry can fall in such a manner, couldn’t something similar happen to others as well? To that, those of us at Supercruises.com would like to reassure interested individuals that their bookings are perfectly safe. Furthermore, we would like to state that their bookings are protected as well, meaning that even if the worst should happen, they can have peace of mind from knowing that their interests will be looked after.
Of course, anyone can just say anything, which is why we would like to bring up two more points. One, we exist to help interested individuals find the cruises that are perfect for their particular needs and circumstances. As a result, Supercruises.com is fully independent of the cruise lines, meaning that interested individuals are covered under a wide range of circumstances. Two, it should be mentioned that we are a member of the ABTA, which is “The Travel Association” for tour operators as well as travel agents. This is critical because the ABTA exists to raise standards to provide better services with increased peace of mind for British travellers. In practical terms, this means that interested individuals can count on us having the proper protections set up, complying with the relevant standards, and having simple-to-use channels for them to seek redress should they find something to be lacking with our offerings.
Ultimately, we hope that our current clients, as well as our potential clients, will continue to count on us for the cruises that are perfect for their preferences. To help us to this end, we offer interested individuals much more control over the booking process than what they can have by approaching a travel agent, which has two major benefits. On top of this, it should be mentioned that we believe in being as open and transparent as possible, as shown by how we charge neither booking fees nor credit card fees nor any other kind of hidden fees. As such, while we understand the need for caution when it comes to something as important as travel planning, we sincerely hope that interested individuals will put their faith in us.
