ROL Cruise was founded in 1995 as Reader Offers Ltd with a small team of four. Offering a range of land-based holidays, Reader Offers predominantly promoted and sold through regional newspapers. As the company expanded, Peter Beadles, Founder and Former Chairman of Reader Offers, began to consider selling cruise as a project and placed a full-page advert for Queen Elizabeth II in the Evening Standard.
Today, with over 120 employees, Reader Offers has rebranded as ROL Cruise, the UK’s No.1 Independent Cruise Specialist, and works closely with all major cruise lines. For 25 years we have been looking after your holiday as if it were our own, striving to deliver excellence in everything we do. Here’s to the next 25 years!
We look after your holiday as if it were our own and can happily reassure you that your holiday is fully protected.
