My mission - to find you the perfect cruise, at the lowest possible price.
Hello, I'm James. I have spent 35 years at sea and visited some of the most remote places on earth.
I started 6 Star 4 Less because I was tired of watching people pay too much for cruises that were wrong for them. Most agents sell what pays the best commission. I sell what I would put my own family on.
My speciality is 6-star expedition and luxury cruising - Seabourn, Silversea, Scenic, Ponant and HX. I have sailed on all of them, in places most people only dream about. Antarctica, the Galapagos, the Kimberley, South Georgia, the Arctic. When you have stood on the ice and watched half a million king penguins, you know which ship got you there comfortably and which one didn't.
The other thing I know is price. 6-star expedition lines are widely misunderstood. When you factor in everything that is included - drinks, excursions, gratuities, dining - they regularly come in at or below what people expect to pay on a mid-range ship. Most people don't know that. I make it my job to show them.
Ask me anything. No obligation. Ever.

Most travel agents will book you on whatever you ask for. We won't.
If you ask me to put you on a ship I wouldn't put my own family on, I will tell you. If you are planning to cruise Tahiti in December, I will tell you to wait. If a cruise line has a track record of problems I have seen first hand, I will tell you that too. There are brands we simply don't sell, and itineraries we actively talk people out of.
We lose some business that way. We are fine with that.
What we get in return is something worth far more - clients who trust us completely, come back every time, and send their friends. Not because we told them what they wanted to hear, but because we told them the truth.
There is no shortage of agents who will take your money and book whatever you ask. We are not that agency. We are the ones who will occasionally say no - and mean it in your best interest.
That is the difference. And if you have been burned before by an agent who didn't, you will understand exactly why it matters.
