About Us

At The World Awaits Travel & Cruise, we believe every journey should be as unique as the traveller taking it. With over 35 years of experience, we specialise in crafting tailor-made holidays that go far beyond the ordinary—whether it’s a luxury cruise, an escorted tour, or a custom itinerary designed for solo travellers, couples, and multi-generational families.

Led by Liz Christiansen, a CLIA Cruise Master (the highest qualification in cruising), our boutique agency brings a wealth of expertise in all styles of cruising including small-ship and expedition cruising. We’re passionate about creating travel experiences that are immersive, memorable, and perfectly suited to your style.

Many of our travellers are 50 and over, seeking to rediscover the joy of exploring the world—be it sailing through the culture-rich rivers of Europe, discovering the wonders of Antarctica, or enjoying a sun-soaked cruise through the South Pacific. Cruising is also the perfect choice for multi-generational families, offering something for every age and interest while still allowing time together.

 We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all travel. We take the time to get to know you, your interests, your style, and your pace, so we can create something that’s truly yours each trip is planned as if it were our own. Our clients often tell us it feels like we travel alongside them, ensuring every detail is taken care of so their holiday is seamless from start to finish.
