Took the stress out of booking our holiday
Penny and other members of the team are great. They took the stress out of booking our holiday. I would definitely recommend them.
Wow what can I say
Wow what can I say, Suitcase Travel booked a package holiday for us to Norway with Havila Voyages to see the Northern Lights and they didn’t disappoint. From start to finish the service they provided was seamless. Everything was booked and documented, communication was excellent and any questions answered immediately. They provided information on things that we hadn’t even thought of asking about and nothing is too much trouble. I highly recommend Suitcase Travel as your go to company.
They know their stuff - and are great to deal with
We had a rough plan to take the post boat up the Norwegian coast, and normally book things independently. However, we saw a review of Suitcase Travel and one of their blogs which showed that they knew what they were doing. On contacting them we explored different options and refined our ideas, so that the trip on Havila which we ended up booking exceeded our expectations. Communications were all good and we would certainly recommend them to anybody considering a Norway trip - they really know their stuff!
They made the trip so easy and…
They made the trip so easy and communication with them was excellent. No waiting on the phone for ages and the queries we had were answered quickly. Mike's advice about the cabin location on the Norwegian cruise ship Havila Pollux was absolutely brilliant and it is that sort of detailed knowledge that can make all the difference to the quality of the experience. Would high recommend.
Excellent service
I came across Suitcase Travel when searching for information about Norwegian fjord cruises. I dealt mainly with Dylan who answered my queries and helped me to make a decision on what would be the best option to go with. It made my first solo trip abroad so much easier and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them in future.
Excellent service, all details covered
The Norwegian coast from Bergen to the Arctic is the only cruise we would ever consider and Suitcase Travel arranged everything, including the flights, airport transfer and hotel at each end, as well as guiding us through what we needed to sort out for the cruise itself. The service and the details sent through ahead of the trip were excellent.
First experience with Suitcase Travel
Penny was our initial contact at Suitcase Travel and couldn't have been more helpful in assisting my friend and I to book a Norwegian Round Trip cruise from Bergen with Havila Cruises, each as 'solo travellers'. She booked comfortable hotel rooms for the days before and after the cruise which definitely reduced our stress levels when flights were disrupted and allowed us to board the ship on time. Bus tickets from airport to hotel were included which was truly valuable.
Penny found us Deluxe Seaview double cabins on Havila Pollux in January at discount, and a choice of flights from 2 of our local airports. Support was available all the way when our flights to and from Amsterdam were cancelled shortly before travelling by the airline. She found us alternative flights and kept us well-informed. A full itinerary was provided so we knew what was included and paid for.
Mike and Lyn also provided great assistance during the booking process, and during and after the trip. Excellent response to rearranging cancelled flights and extra mobility support for me.
The holiday was superb and I'll have happy memories of the trip always.
Thank you Suitcase Travel. A really excellent and friendly travel service. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend you!
Penny was great as our contact
Penny was great as our contact at Suitcase Travel from beginning to end. She helped us decide on the cruise, company, cabin and excursions. She tirelessly checked for when bookings opened for most popular trips. She gave helpful tips and answered my many questions. It was a wonderful experience.
It was a pleasure dealing with this…
It was a pleasure dealing with this company. They offered excellent advice on the holiday eg which cabin to choose. Great attention to detail , friendly and excellent value. Would definitely recommend.
Havila cruise, Norway
We used Suitcase Travel to book a Norwegian BKB cruise. They were very good at offering advice, were quick to respond to emails and were very patient while I was trying to sort dates for kennelling our dog whilst away. They also booked us into excellent hotels in Bergen for either side of our cruise and booked hotel to airport transfer bus tickets.
Fantastic service, I would gladly book with Suitcase Travel another time as everything went smoothly and we were sent a comprehensive itinerary.
Invaluable advice with great service
Like other reviewers we used Suitcase Travel to book a Norwegian coastal cruise . Their advice was invaluable and we chose to go with Havila . Mike even advised us on which would be the best cabin to meet our needs . The service was great and we thoroughly enjoyed the cruise .
Norway with Suitcase Travel
We booked a trip to Norway with Suitcase Travel (our first booking with them) as we valued their knowledge on this type of trip, having never sailed before, nor were we sure if November was a good time to visit the Norwegian coastline. We travelled on Havila and everything Suitcase Travel organised was spot on. We had a fab time and would definitely use this agent again and Havila!
Amazing service from Suitcase Travel
Fantastic help from Mike and Lyn in planning our Coastal trip with Hurtigruten. Any queries we had they were able to advise and the whole experience enabled us to have a relaxing and trouble free trip we would absolutely recommend Suitcase Travel to anyone planning a holiday thanks guys for a wonderful trip.
Excellent service
I found Suitcase Travel through an internet search when I was aiming to compare Havila and Hurtigruten ships and the Coastal Express in Norway. Their comparison was extremely informative and having read some customer reviews I decided to give them a call.
I usually book all my holidays myself but it can be very time consuming so I decided to try Suitcase Travel and I was not disappointed!
Within 24 hours my entire holiday was booked and paid for at the same price as it would have been for me to book it. It included flights, transfers, hotels and the coastal express. It was also ATOL protected.
I was delighted by the choice of hotel which was ideally situated in Bergen. I’ve just had a wonderful holiday and I’m very grateful to Suitcase Travel for their help.
BKB Norwegian cruise
Trip was well organised and everything went very smoothly. I appreciated the recommendation for a nights stay in Bergen before boarding the ship.
A first class experience
We chose Suitcase Travel after seeing a recommendation on a FB group. We usually book independently, but so glad we went with them for our Norway BKB Havila trip. Mike and Lyn were really helpful and offered lots of advice when booking our trip. Everything was well organised and ran like clockwork. We appreciated the suggestion of a private transfer from the airport as our flight arrived in Bergen close to midnight, which took away any stress of using public transport. A great company, we’re happy to recommend and will hopefully be booking with them again soon.
Really knowledgeable and professional…
Really knowledgeable and professional advice and assistance which secured is a superb holiday
Suitcase was recommended by a friend, we will too
Suitcase was recommended by a friend as being very helpful and knowledgeable about Norwegian Coastal Cruises. We found that to be the case in helping us choose the right cruise and get a very good deal as they have good relations with the cruise companies. From first contact to booking their service was excellent, with no hard sell or pressure to make our choice. We had an excellent holiday.
Our recent trip to Norway was very well…
Our recent trip to Norway was very well organised and immensely enjoyable. The trip involved flights, train and bus, and two cruises (one short on a fjord, one 12 days up and down the length of the Norwegian coast).
It was well planned and a lot of knowledge and thought had gone into itinerary. Ample background information suggestions, and tips were very useful.
Highly recommended.
Norwegian Coastal Express
We wanted to do the Norwegian Coastal Express but were unsure which company to use and then we saw an article about the options by Suitcase Travel and so we contacted them. They were extremely helpful and clearly knowledgeable about the two companies and the cruise and provided excellent advice. We were very impressed and so booked the flights, buses, hotels and trip (Havila) with them. Everything went precisely to plan and we had a fantastic holiday with calm seas, lovely weather and we got to see the Northern Lights. Many thanks.
