I have used Imagine Holidays a few times and have future trips booked. They have recently sorted out issues with a cruise and flights via the Middle East in a very professional and sympathetic way and have assisted me with a trip to South America next year. The Imagine team have all been very helpful and understanding, especially Bec Elsum, thanks guys.  Show details ·  1

Have never let us down. We’ve used Imagine Cruising a few times and can recommend them for Great knowledge, products and services. All our transfers have worked unlike others on our three queens tour, whose travel agents forgot their transfers to the next ship. Hotels were in great locations too. Show details ·  3

Just completed a 31 day cruise(21) days & land package around the Mediterranean and Italian lakes via Imagine cruising. The tour was Most enjoyable and inclusive. We sailed on the Oosterdam ship(Holland & America) which was relatively old but comfortable. The Italian lakes were magic not to be missed. An amazing trip all round. Show details ·  1

the easy of booking through the consultant. Not travelling until 2027 so watch this space for future experience updates and if they met our expectations.

 Follow-up  · The deposit payment process was simple and done at the time of purchase. I did request a different location & stateroom and included the princess plus package when purchasing the holiday package. As I mentioned in my original review it was only on the consultant & the booking experience - watch this space for future experience updates.

Everything was so well organized and we cannot fault Imagine. The cruise with Oceania from Hong Kong to Vietnam was excellent. The transfers were excellent. Sam has been very helpful with prompt replies to emails. Show details ·  1

 Follow-up  · I forgot to mention that on arrival in Hong Kong we took a while to find the Imagine representative. He wasn’t waiting where we assumed he would be and as he was holding a small sign it was hard to see.

I thoroughly enjoyed recent cruise ending in Hong Kong with Azamara Onwards booked through Imagine Cruising. Airfare and hotel accommodation in Sydney arranged by Imagine was excellent. My only criticism with Imagine was return air booking from Hong Kong - I had requested upgrade to Business Class and suggested I fly Cathay direct to Brisbane … Read more ·  2

Was told y Imagine Staff member Philippine Airlines was an earlier flight so I agreed without any investigation. Fellow passengers I discovered were flying Cathay was departed earlier despite what Imagine had advised me. Considered Philippine Airline Business Class inferior in every respect. Have been advised by Imagine company no longer will use this Airline.

I have booked 3 future cruises whilst on last cruise and gave IMAGINE AS MY PREFERRED TRAVEL agent. I enquired and was told by Imagine same service as previously supplied would apply (booking flights to New Zealand and overnight accommodation prior to departure). Informed agent I wished to go a few days early. Considered flights offered were not acceptable in relation to time and no option was provided.

In view of the overall attitude displayed by staff member advised I would attend to airline booking and hotel accommodation myself (as a separate matter - morning flight I booked which arrived mid afternoon (respectable hour) was cheaper than what Imagine offered).

I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL AND VOCAL SUPPORTER OF IMAGINE IN RELATION TO ALL PRIOR BOOKINGS BUT THIS LATEST EXPERIENCE HAS GIVEN ME CAUSE TO RE-CONSIDER ANY FUTURE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY IN RELATION TO PRE AND POST CRUISE AIR FARES.

HOWEVER I CANNOT PRAISE AZAMARA ships AND THEIR STAFF TOO HIGHLY AND WILL CONTINUE TO TRAVEL WITH THIS SHIPPING LINE.

Booked last minute so little time to think it through and investigate further, basically had to pay in full on the day to secure the booking. Don't really think this is reasonable. There should always be a cooling off period for such a costly purchase. Imagine Cruising do not provide any advice regarding vaccinations required or VISA / entry… Read more

requirements for the ports of call. This is the clients responsibility. Although clearly stated by Imagine Cruising and quite transparent, this seems something of a "cop out", Imagine are cruise experts and are in a sound position to offer clear advice. Have also expressed disappointment at embarkation arrangements. After overnight in hotel required to check out by 11:00, transfer from hotel booked for 13:15 (be there 10 minutes prior to pick-up) and embarkation check-in slot assigned by Cunard is 15:30. A lot of sitting around waiting while we would prefer the opportunity to explore Cape Town. Honestly feel we should have made transfer arrangements ourselves. Emailed agent advising our concerns but no response to date.

I contacted Imagine Cruising after seeing an Instagram post. That caught my attention, and the offer to cruise along the Western Australia coast seemed great. Only, I thought it would be better to travel in the other direction, which would allow me to tack on the Indian Pacific expedition train back to the east coast. I rang to see if that could… Read more ·  1

be arranged. It could, but at a far greater cost than what was being offered. The consultant, Felicity, listened and explained the reasons why it was cheaper Perth to Darwin than vice versa, and made suggestions as to how it could all work as desired. She was able to put the package together and I was able to convince my wife that it would be great.

We booked, paid our deposit and than the company provided us with all the details needed. Lots of reading, but, the truly pleasing part was that it was well organised and it was clear to me what next steps were.

Our trip is a long way off; nevertheless Imagine Cruising have already ramped up the excitement simply by having everything so organised.

Imagine Cruising Japan Rail Experience March 2026. Very large group (41) with one guide!! Imagine had assured us group size would be 20-25. Feel that 2 tour groups were combined into 1. The guide fumbled through railway station mayhem with thousands of commuters transiting on bullet and commuter trains -Collect our tickets, check platform, find… Read more

the access to the platform and nine out of ten times she took us in the wrong direction for our designated railcar so we had to dodge other passengers to find the correct carriage access. Let alone the mad scurry trying to get 41 people onboard and seated before the train departed. Would not recommend Imagine Cruising as the organisation required for 41 travellers is a huge responsibility and expectation for 1 tour guide. Extremely disappointed with Imagine Cruising.
