About Ocean Florida

Overview.

Ocean Holidays is a trading style of the award winning Como St Travel Ltd.

Como St Travel is based in Romford, Essex and controls various brands other than Ocean Holidays including Beatthebrochure.com, travelsoon.com and www.myhoneymoon.co.uk. Having been selling tailor made holidays since the start of the millennium Como St Travel now send more than 50,000 passengers to a huge variety of destinations each year.

As a group we are proud to be part of the Travel Foundation which is a charity that quite simply cares for the places we (as in tourists) visit. Our donations to the Travel Foundation go toward sustaining local environments. Whether it’s protecting local wild life or ensuring vital resources are not used up, The Travel Foundation work long and hard to ensure tourism has a positive impact rather than negative.

So what about Ocean Holidays?

Having grown from our Ocean Florida we now specialize in various destinations and offer a variety of services including Worldwide Cruise, Ski holidays and USA City Breaks, fly drives and packages.

Our knack of creating great value for money bespoke holidays has long been a winner for the thousands of customers we send away each year.

Working as a specialist we are able to negotiate preferred rates and extras that our competitors simply cannot offer. Known for our exclusive pricing and service we always try to offer that little bit more for your money. All our rates are negotiated locally so you can be sure we don’t go through any middle men!

Our Websites

Ocean Holidays simply acts as a customer friendly tool to direct you to all our products, our deal of the day offers from each of our other sites and familiarize the customer with our happy holiday brand.

Since launching in 2003 Ocean Florida has quickly become one of the largest Florida players in the UK. Our expert team of holiday consultants and exceptional rates have scored big reviews with Florida regulars across the net as well as the thousands of folks going for the first time. Unlike our competitors we have always valued the importance of dream holidays to Florida and as such haven’t rushed to offer the customer online booking tools. We still believe in a personal service with a smile (even it is on the phone ! )

The most natural progression to follow in the foot steps of Ocean Florida, Ocean Cruise began in June 2005. At first focusing on our strengths in Florida, we have continued to be the most competitive and creative Cruise and Stay specialist around. Known for our partnerships with Carnival and Royal Caribbean/Celebrity Cruise lines, our list of favourites go on. Whether it’s as glorious as Cunard, as Fun as Ocean Village or as obscure as sailing in the Whitsunday’s of Australia, Ocean Cruise knows cruise inside and out.

No we don’t mean Water Skiing! Ocean Ski is the number 1 for tailor made North America and Canada Ski holidays. Having applied our cross Atlantic relationships and expertise to this amazing product we can guarantee exclusive flight availability, hand picked accommodations and advice that is second to none. We’ve travelled and trawled through hotels and resorts. Tested airline after airline to the point that we know what works and we know what doesn’t. You’ll find our favourite resorts on our site www.ocean-ski.co.uk as well as some especially tailored offers.

We had to do it! With so many customers flying to Florida we have always been inundated with requests for trips to Las Vegas, breaks to New York, Fly drives around California and more. We thought it was about time to launch a full USA program. So we have. After some research we also discovered that US breaks are best booked online. Customers prefer this so we bit the bullet and went against our norm. With Ocean USA we believe we have re created our expertise online. You can find in depth travel guides, customer tips and we only feature hotels we have chosen. Not hotels our suppliers supply us with. You can of course still talk to us with our traditional enquiry form and free phone number as prominent as ever. We hope you like the site and please and please don’t be shy to call if you need us to put together your next USA holiday.


  

 

Keeping your money safe

With all these rules, all these regulations and so many online companies how do you know your money is safe?

We’re fully bonded with both the Travel Trust association (TTA number U0898) and ATOL (ATOL number T7270).

For information on how the Travel Trust protects your money click here . In short, a Travel Trust member is quite possibly the safest type of agent you can book with. When you book your holiday we don’t receive your money until you get back from holiday as it’s held in a trust account.

If you want to know more about ATOL click here . By having an ATOL license we are permitted to put packages together rather than only buy packages from big tour operators. By putting our packages together we can often save you up to 75%!

We know bonding can get quite confusing. Especially with all the press surrounding it. If you have any questions what so ever about our company and the bonds here are all the contact details you need:
