It's not too late to sail away on a Mediterranean cruise, says Bolsover Cruise Club (01246 819819; www.bolsovercruiseclub.com). The independent cruise-only specialist confirms that there is good availability this autumn for tours of the warmer Eastern Mediterranean.

“October offers a good chance of sun for a late-season Mediterranean cruise – as well as some very tempting prices. It's a great idea for a good-value break, before many ships sail to the Caribbean for the winter,” says Michael Wilson, Managing Director of Bolsover Cruise Club, which has held the title of Top UK Independent Agent for P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises for 27 consecutive years.

Notes to editors:

Bolsover Cruise Club is the UK's No. 1 Cruise Agent, having held the title “Top UK Independent Agent” for P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises for 27 consecutive years. Unlike other high-street travel agents, it is a cruise-only specialist, offering the best deals, offers and discounts with premium cruise brands. Bolsover prides itself on its top-quality customer service and expert in-depth knowledge of all major cruise lines.

Founded by the Wilson family in the 1960s as a joint travel and estate agency, Bolsover Cruise Club quickly emerged as a thriving local travel agent in Bolsover, Derbyshire, and soon became the region's most prominent independent agent. By the 1990s, it was focusing exclusively on cruise holidays. In 1998, Bolsover Cruise Club opened The Cruise Centre, the UK's first, at Barlborough Links, Chesterfield, adding The Cruise Holiday Shop at Meadowhall, Sheffield, in 2014. Today, Bolsover Cruise Club is run by directors Michael Wilson and Julie Straw, who represent the third generation of the Wilson family business.
