Frequently Asked Questions

• Why do so many guests return, and why do they bring friends?

  When every logistical detail, from clubs to tee times to transport, is handled in advance, guests are free to focus entirely on the golf and the company around them. This is when real friendships form. It is a consistent pattern across nearly three decades of PerryGolf cruises: guests who meet as strangers often return together on future voyages, and a meaningful share of new bookings come from guests bringing friends along.

• What is PerryGolf's Golf Cruise background?

  Today PerryGolf's golf cruise program sails with several cruise line partners, including Silversea, Azamara Cruises, and Tauck River Cruises. Ships and partners have changed over the years as the industry has evolved. What has not changed is the PerryGolf standard: the same staff, training, and gangway-to-gangway service model apply across all lines and vessels a given PerryGolf voyage sails aboard.

• Does PerryGolf use its own staff, or are local operators subcontracted at each port?

  All golf logistics on a PerryGolf cruise, from tee times and pairings to equipment handling and ground transport, are managed by PerryGolf's own staff, both onboard and ashore. This is not outsourced to local ground operators who might vary in quality from port to port. The same standard of service applies with all our cruise partners and all ports of call.

• Does the experience change when PerryGolf's cruise line partner changes?

  The ship and onboard experience may vary by cruise line, but the PerryGolf golf program remains consistent. Over the years, we have worked with a variety of cruise partners and vessels as the industry and available opportunities have evolved. Course access, expert staffing, operational planning, and our signature gangway-to-gangway service are all managed by PerryGolf, ensuring a consistently high standard of service across every cruise line and ship.

• How is a PerryGolf golf cruise different from booking golf through a cruise line or travel agency?

  A travel agency typically books a cabin and arranges golf as an add-on, often through local operators at each port. PerryGolf operates the golf program itself, managing tee times, transport, equipment, and course access at every stop, on every voyage, under one continuous standard set in 1997.

• Where do PerryGolf golf cruises operate?

  Our current portfolio includes voyages to the British Isles, Europe, Asia, and New Zealand & Australia.

  The highest profile of these is our annual British Isles Cruise which combines attendance to the final weekend of The Open with play at collection of the finest and most revered golf courses of the British Isles.

  While our golf cruise roster varies, as do the golf courses we visit, guests can expect to play many of the finest and best known courses around the world. Some of the venues which regularly feature in our cruises include:

  • Portmarnock
  • Royal Birkdale
  • Gleneagles
  • Royal Portrush
  • Royal County Down
  • Ailsa Course Turnberry
  • Royal Dornoch
  • Bro Hof Slot
  • The Estonian
  • Gorki Golf Club (Russia)
  • Valderrama
  • PGA Catalunya
  • Terre Blanche
  • Pevero
  • Yas Links
  • The Emirates
  • Kauri Cliffs
  • Cape Kidnappers
  • Jacks Point
  • New South Wales
  • Buenos Aires Golf Club
• What format do the golf cruises follow?

  Our golf cruises are a fully managed all-inclusive experience, delivered in a way that ensures exceptional guest satisfaction. All golf related arrangements and logistics are managed in advance and onsite by PerryGolf. Typically (although it varies dependent on individual itineraries), the golf cruise program will schedule golf on just over half of shore days, allowing golfers a balance of golf and sightseeing activities. Beyond golf, guests are free to explore on their own arrangements or via a variety of excellent shore excursion programs provided by our cruise partners. The ethos of the golf cruise program is to ensure the high level of service which guests enjoy onboard is extended to the golf experience off the ship. The program creates a stress free environment, allowing guests to relax and enjoy their cruise and the opportunity of playing some of the world’s finest and most memorable golfing venues, and to do so in the company of existing or like minded new found friends.

• What is included in the price of the Golf Cruise?

  Our golf cruises are as all-inclusive as it is possible to be. Onboard, all accommodations, meals, entertainment, open bar (selected beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks) and gratuities are included. Off the ship, all greens fees, cart fees (or caddies at certain venues – excludes caddie gratuity), ground transportation, range balls, box lunch, open bar at respective clubhouses and gratuities are included.

• Should I take out travel insurance?

  PerryGolf strongly recommends that you have luggage, accident and trip cancellation insurance. It is important for your own self-interest and protection that you make certain you have adequate coverage. Full details of the Travel Insurance that PerryGolf can make available to you is available here.

• What is a typical golf cruise group size?

  The typical group size is approximately 40 golfers and non-golfing companions.

  Our British Isles cruises that include attendance to The Open operate at a larger capacity.

  Some guests join our cruises as relatively self contained groups, eg 2 or 4 couples who know each other, and they will have their own golfing partners already arranged. Other guests travel as individual couples or single travelers and are seeking to meet and play golf with other guests. We will arrange golf pairings for these guests and through this a great many friendships are born. Non-golfing spouses are also perfectly catered for with a range of shore excursions available.

• What is a typical golf day?

  We manage each guest’s golf equipment from start to finish. The equipment will be taken to the course in advance, loaded onto a golf cart (or be waiting with a caddie at certain venues) and be ready for each guest’s arrival.

  Transfers from the ship are coordinated to ensure that each guest arrives at the golf course with ample time to warm up before play. A sandwich lunch is provided on the golf course, sometimes as a box lunch from the ship, or alternatively provided by the club. An open bar with snacks, soft drinks, beer or wine is always available during play, and the clubhouse bar operates similarly following play.

  Following golf, guests are free to relax in the clubhouse to chat about their round and to experience the particular ambience before transferring back to the ship.

  On one golf day during each cruise an informal competition will be held with prizes to be awarded in a ceremony taking place later onboard the ship.

• What is the dress code onboard?

  PerryGolf Cruises are nicely relaxed, a “resort casual” dress code is acceptable ship wide. During the day sportswear, shorts, sundresses, etc for ladies; shorts, sportswear, polo shirts, tee shirts for men. Some guests chose to dress up in the evening but the norm is simply collared shirt and pants for men and long skirts and tops or dress pants for ladies.

  At the golf courses, normal golf resort attire is required.

• What level of fitness & mobility is required?

  Aspects of PerryGolf trips may require a certain level of fitness and mobility in order for a guest to participate fully. Activities may include walking over uneven or rough surfaces, stepping on/off buses, walking up/down stairways where elevators do not exist, stepping in/out of tender boats or occasionally smaller boats, this list is intended as representative but is not exhaustive. If a guest has any concerns over their fitness or mobility levels they should discuss this in advance of any trip with a PerryGolf golf travel specialist and they will provide further information with regard to the activities that you are concerned about, but in general, PerryGolf activities are not designed or intended to be overly strenuous.

• Can I ship my golf clubs ahead of me to my destination?

  Yes you can send your golf clubs, and indeed any luggage in advance to your destination to avoid checked baggage hassles. For more information click here.

• Can PerryGolf assist with my air travel arrangements?

  PerryGolf can provide comprehensive assistance with your air travel arrangements for your PerryGolf trip. We enjoy attractive premium cabin fares with our Preferred Carriers who serve our destinations. These fares are bundled with our land arrangements. For more information click here.
