- About Us
Our story
When our Founder, Robin Maclear, first established The Cruise Line in 1993, he was driven by a deep desire to elevate the cruise experience. He knew that discerning UK guests deserved a premium, tailored service reflecting the exceptional care they receive the moment they step aboard. To this day, his vision ensures your journey begins long before you set sail.
