ABOUT US

Since it's humble beginning in 1995, Direct Line Cruises has grown to become one of the largest official agencies for the cruise industry. Amazingly, it started as a home-based part time job (actually, more of a "hobby") for a Long Island housewife who simply "fell in love" with cruising after she tried it for the first time. Then, with no previous experience (and a budget of only a few hundred dollars), she created a business that has developed into one of the most spectacular "overnight" success stories in the history of the travel industry.
From its corporate headquarters in Hauppauge, NY, Direct Line Cruises now handles reservations for more than 30,000 cruise passengers per year. But no matter how big it gets, the dedicated staff at Direct Line Cruises continues to treat every client (and future client) as a valued friend offering honest, reliable service and top-quality cruise vacations at incredibly low rates.

Want 10 Good Reasons To Book Your Cruise Through Direct Line Cruises?

01
Expert Staff

As an exclusive agency for the cruise industry, Direct Line Cruises ("DLC") carefully selects and trains its staff in every important detail about all of the major cruise lines. Cruise specialists are available at their toll-free reservations line (1-800 DLC-8088) to answer all of your questions, provide rate quotes, recommendations and everything else needed to assist you in reserving your next dream cruise vacation.

The staff at Direct Line Cruises does not work on commission so you save money and they always have YOUR best interest in mind.

02
No Commissions or "Sales Pressure”
03
Low Rates

Direct Line Cruises buys large "blocks" of cabins from several major cruise lines. By pre-purchasing cabins far in advance of the sailing dates, they "lock-in" the cruise line's "early booking" discounts and they get group pricing concessions (which are passed on to you even if you are only booking one cabin). In fact, the rates from DLC are often 40% to 60% lower than the cruise line's brochure rates.

You can choose any cabin from DLC's exclusive inventory. Because they pre-purchase cabins long before the sailing date, Direct Line Cruises typically offers the best selection of standard and deluxe staterooms on each ship.

No Service Fees

Unlike many travel agencies, Direct Line Cruises never charges a service fee for helping you make your cruise reservation. So, the rate you are quoted is the rate you pay. There are never any unrequested "add-ons".

Planning a cruise for a group of friends or family? Get a cash rebate for the full fare of one person (excluding port charges / taxes) for every 8 cabins booked. NOTE: Some restrictions may apply.

Cash Rebate for 8 Or More Cabins

Cost Effective Travel Insurance

Through Travel Insured International, Direct Line Cruises provides cost-effective optional travel protection to all of our clients. This optional plan provides coverage for travel delay, missed connections, trip interruption, lost baggage, accident & sickness medical expense and more.

New clients are sometimes a bit skeptical about Direct Line Cruises because their rates are so low when compared to other travel agencies. So, to eliminate any possible concern, DLC has arranged to have all of its client reservation deposits processed directly by the cruise line. When paying by credit card, your initial deposit (usually $100 to $300 per person) is charged directly by the cruise line (not Direct Line Cruises). Once your payment has been processed, you will be provided with a detailed email confirmation. If there are ever any discrepancies, they are immediately resolved.
