Cruise Challenge: Newcastle
The Cruise Challenge team made the journey to the North East for the latest leg of this epic country-wide tour.
The city of Newcastle was the wonderful host for the night, as agents and a host of sponsors came together for one of the highlights on the cruise calendar.
Unlike a majority of other Cruise Challenge events this year, this was a one-horse race for the majority of the game, as the Blue team stormed into an early lead.
A succession of double points only boosted their chances of taking home the prize – honour, pride and the chance to win a week’s cruise in the Mediterranean for two at the end of year – and despite courageous efforts from the Red and Green teams, the damage had been done.

Cruise Challenge: Norwich
The travel industry came together in solidarity in Norwich during what has been an emotional week. And, when people need a smile back on their faces, there’s nothing better than a Cruise Challenge remedy.
Following a steady start by all teams, the evening soon became a two-way battle for supremacy.
In what was an incredibly close contest – the Red and Blue teams were neck-and-neck until the very end and could only be separated in the double points round.
Kudos to all those who joined the Cruise Challenge team. We salute you.
