When does a holiday really begin? For example, if you’re going on a cruise, is it that moment when you set sail?
Or maybe it’s when you take your first look inside the cabin? Or perhaps it’s sooner still, when you actually step on board the ship?
Well now a new Virgin service called Luggage Chauffeur could give you the feeling that your holiday begins even earlier . . . when you walk out of your front door.
Big hassle removed
How is this possible? Well what this service does is remove one of the big hassles of going on holiday. It eliminates the need for you or anyone in your party to carry any luggage.
With Luggage Chauffeur that responsibility passes to a secure courier service. They pick up your suitcases from your home and take them to the ship. Your job is simply to pack everything you need and then let the courier do all the hard work.
And they can also bring your luggage back at the end of the cruise.
You’ll find it wonderfully liberating. It means you can enjoy relaxed journeys to and from your port of departure without having to do any heavy lifting in and out of cars, buses or trains.
Annoying problem
At a stroke that annoying problem of where to stack your luggage while you travel disappears. If the luggage racks are full or just too small, who cares.
Nor will you have to worry about crushing people’s toes or bashing their shins as you weave your way through busy concourses. That whole business of trailing your suitcase behind you while gripping the handle for dear life becomes a thing of the past.
Indeed, it’s fair to say that with the launch of this service the era of hands free cruising has truly arrived.
Change the character of your holiday
But this is not just about being kind to your hands or your shoulder muscles. Nor is it about preventing hernias, although it probably does that as well.
Using a service like this actually changes the character of your holiday.
Maybe there are people in your party who are too young or old to be in charge of weighty luggage. Now they don’t have to be. You can pack more items, perhaps using bigger suitcases, without fear of anyone doing themselves an injury.
And those decisions about what to pack and what to leave behind become a little easier when potential visits to osteopaths or chiropractors are no longer part of the equation.
Decisions, decisions
Maybe you’ve got three hardbacks to choose from and you’re unsure which to take on the cruise. The answer is easy, pack all three and decide which one you’re going to read once you’re on the ocean.
Perhaps you’d like to bring some home comforts with you but in the past this has been impractical. Now you can load up your suitcase with a few extra luxuries without fear of suffering any ill effects.
For instance, you can pack more clothes to allow for a wider range of circumstances. That means you can set off on your cruise knowing you can dress for practically any social or weather conditions you are likely to encounter while you’re away.
More details
Luggage Chauffeur is available for passengers based anywhere in the UK. For the moment it’s only on offer to those starting their cruise from Southampton. But there are plans to extend it to other UK ports.
