OUR BEGINNINGS
Originally established in 1974 to arrange accommodation for cricket tours in Corfu, (hence the name ‘Cricketer Holidays’), we soon became aware that there was a growing demand for specialist holidays and tours. Gradually the association with cricket diminished. Today we have no connection with the game - only the name remains - but our holidays have gone from strength to strength.
We were one of the first travel companies to recognise that not everyone wanted to be herded around in groups, but preferred to remain individual, within the security of a company ready and willing to arrange all the details.
As the demand for holidays increased, we set out to discover unusual destinations, away from the mass tourism market, visiting many countries to seek out new places to stay and individual hotels in unspoilt areas. Today the company is a thriving, respected business with holiday destinations in over 36 countries and islands, spanning four continents.
A VERY PERSONAL SERVICE
The company’s success can be attributed to the very personal service we give to every one of our guests. Our small, dedicated team has a wealth of knowledge and experience which enables us to provide varied and interesting guided tours with just the right mix of sightseeing, travel and relaxation. For those who prefer independent holidays, we personally research and select hotels where the emphasis is on quality and attention to detail.
A MEASURE OF OUR SUCCESS
Cricketer Holidays is one of the smallest and most specialised tour operators in the country, with an extensive mailing-list built up over many years. The consistency of our products and our attention to detail brings more than 70% of our business from repeat bookings and personal recommendations and some of our clients have travelled with us more than 20 times!
OUR HOLIDAYS
Each year we have a full programme of Winter and Summer holidays and tours, as well as a good range of Year Round destinations for those extra sunshine hours. Our web-site will give you a taste of all the current tours and holidays available – click on DESTINATIONS.
Brochures are not held by travel agents and are only available from us – simply click the REQUEST BROCHURE button on this page and we will send them to you straight away.
NO CALL CENTRES
Alternatively, if you wish to chat to someone about our holidays, just pick up the telephone and speak to us personally.
Our sales staff have visited and researched every destination and personally selected and vetted every hotel, so we have a wealth of information to help you select your holiday.
We look forward to hearing from you on 01892 664242
