Elan Travel is a family-run business based in Antrim Town and all our team members have a love and passion for exploring new parts of the world.
From Europe, America, The Middle East and much more, our team have built a wide area of expertise from big thrill-seeking holidays like Orlando, to the more relaxed holidays like The Maldives. The past number of years is when we fell in love with the world of cruising through our own personal experiences. That's when we starting to really think about working within the travel industry. We quickly came to the realisation that cruising, for us, is a more exciting, convenient and fun-filled way to see more parts of the world with our families, all while having a new adventure waiting for us every night back on some of the world's biggest cruise ships. This to when we decided to become a part of the GoCruise & Travel family. It was a no brainer to us and we are extremely excited and proud to be working with our customers to give them a taste of the same exhilarating experiences we have had, at sea and on land. We will tailor everything right down to restaurant recommendations, pinpoint the best locations for you to visit and much more.
My favourite cruise ship...
Royal Caribbean's Anthem Of The Sea's - This was actually the first cruise ship we travelled on, therefore it may just hold that sweet spot in our hearts!
This is a Quantum-class cruise ship with a wide variety of activities for the whole family! It is one of only four ships which offer the RipCord by iFly, which lets guest experience how to fly with its skydiving simulator, a fantastic edition to the ship for guests of most ages to enjoy!
Since then we have enjoyed many sailings on Anthem including a Transatlantic cruise after a visit to New York, which was a very well needed and relaxing sailing after being in the hustle and bustle of such an amazing city. Anthem of the Seas offers everything you need and more from speciality dining such as Jamie's Italian and a dazzling award-winning performance of the musical 'We Will Rock You'. Finish the night with a drink made for you by the ships very own Robotic Bar!
Next on my wish list is...
The list is endless 🤣
A trip of a lifetime for us would be an African Safari in the Serengeti. This is definitely on our bucket list. Another one we would love to tick off is Lapland. As a family with young children we know how precious family holidays are and timing is of the essence for this one to ensure a truly magical experience. Cruise-wise, we are also eager to try some new cruise lines, including Carnival which boosts the world's first roller coaster at sea! Bolt, which is exclusive to Carnivals Mardi Gras, Celebration and the new Jubilee cruise ship.
Fun fact for the kids: Did you know the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked was actually filmed on board Carnival Dream?
One for the adults, we are excited to try out an adults-only cruise ship once we have the grandparents on board for some babysitting duties. We have our eyes set on Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady.
Why choose to book with us?
Having sailed on many ships around multiple destinations we can offer real-life recommendations for you and your family.
