Private Tours
At White Star Cruises we know that part of travelling is having the opportunity to explore and discover hidden places all by yourself. We also appreciate the fact that sometimes you do not want to be sitting on a bus with other guests, but would rather do your own tour, at your own pace with your own English speaking driver.
We can arrange private tours and tailor-made excursions just for you. Ensure you see what you want to see on one of our VIP private shore excursions. We will custom design a tour just for you, taking in the popular sights and maybe going off the beaten track to discover that hidden gem that other guests do not have time to see. Or if you want to plan a spectacular shopping trip in Milan, a Gaudi tour in Barcelona or a helicopter trip over Manhattan we can do all this for you... just ask.
Luggage Forwarding
At White Star Cruises we know how stressful the airport can be, with long lines, security delays and baggage issues. White Star Cruises can send your luggage ahead of you, delivered to your pre-cruise hotel so it is ready for you when you arrive, allowing you to travel with just hand luggage. No baggage carousels to deal with or hassle at the airport, simply walk out to your VIP transfer and save time.
Private Jet
Sometimes there is not a commercial flight available to get you to your chosen destination, or you want to do that something extra special for your trip - at White Star Cruises we can arrange a private jet for you and your guests, from regional airports around the country, allowing you to arrive when you want. Escape the departure lounge, the long lines at security and waiting at the gate, with a private jet you are speedily checked in and boarded with the minimum of fuss.
Contact us with your requirements and we will arrange this for you.
Private Transfers
A private limousine is the perfect way to start you holiday with White Star Cruises. Our drivers can pick you up from your home, and take you to the airport or port in style and comfort. We can also arrange a private transfer for you once you have reached your destination - one of our English-speaking drivers can meet you at the airport and take you to your hotel with the minimum of fuss.
Airport Parking
White Star Cruises can offer you VIP rates at all the UK's airports for parking and valet services. Let us take care of your parking so you can relax and start your holiday in the best frame of mind.
