World of Cruising, the UK’s leading consumer cruise publication, a subsidiary of Real Response Media and sister magazine to CTN, has supported the cruise industry by giving away £250,000 advertising free to members of the cruise and travel trade industry.

The global coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has had a significant impact on the travel and cruise holiday sectors.

World of Cruising wished to support travel agents, cruise operators and tourist boards, all of whom have been greatly affected by the Covid-19 crisis and the subsequent travel restrictions that have been imposed following the outbreak of the pandemic.

The magazine is now proud to announce the 50 worthy recipients of a £250,000 Travel Recovery Grant.

Real Response Media CEO and World of Cruising director  Chris Pitchford said: “We are doing all we can to support those who have been affected by the pandemic.

“We know that this is an incredibly challenging and difficult time for all, so we hope that this small contribution to members of the cruise and travel trade industry will help to revive the sector as we look forward to a brighter future.”
