This was our first cruise which, after doing a fair bit of research, we looked forward to immensely.

Overall, we had no complaints regarding accommodation, food, or entertainment and found the staff helpful in the extreme and the ports of c... read more

We have just spent a week cruising around the western med on Thomson Spirit. The weather was awful most days with rain in the morning, a bit of sunshine in the afternoon and rain again in the evening. It was not cold though.

Another wonderful cruise on the Spirit. The staff on board should be so highly praised they make you feel so welcomed and nothing is to much trouble for them.

After a 200 mile, 4 hour journey we arrived at Harwich at 11.45am to be told that the Spirit was running 90 minutes late due to bad weather. We were offered the chance to take the train to Harwich town centre, to fill some time, but we would have had to ... read more

I can only agree with the earlier comments made regarding the shambles at Harwich.

My mother and I were supposed to board the Thomson Spirit at 12pm but because the ship was delayed due to bad weather, we didn't actually get on board until 5.... read more

Our first and possibly our last cruise thanks to the appalling organization of the Thomson Company who put making money before the holiday enjoyment of their passengers.

After being persuaded by family and friends that 'cruising' is great, we... read more

I have to say I disagree with the other comments about the One Night Taster Cruise. I haven't cruised with Thomson before but look at things from a different view. I went with a group of friends - 8 of us in total.

Yes it was a nightmare but ... read more

Fantastic. This was our first cruise (2 adults and our 2 children aged 10 and 7) and it lived up to and exceeded our expectations!

Liking the lakes and mountains of Switzerland and Austria, we decided to try this 6 nighter cruise to Norway, a... read more
