Our Story
LeisureFare, LTD. based in London and created and founded by Jeremy Scott, is one of the leading luxury cruise experts in the field today. With more than a decade of travel industry experience and now offices on both sides of the Atlantic, many of today’s upscale and savvy cruise travelers are looking to LeisureFare for their luxury travel needs.
In early 2008, the American branch of LeisureFare, LTD., UpperCrustTravel.com / BAwayCruises.com (LeisureFare, LLC), opened its new offices in Miami. As a result of the combined office teams, agents, resources all over the globe and the time difference between the offices in the USA and the UK, we are better able to offer our clientele a wider window of direct customer care services.
LeisureFare has capitalized on the diversity and opportunities of the internet by acquiring a vast number of domain names, all of which will, in turn, lead the web surfer back to a common home page. In London, for example, LeisureFare, LTD. has established themselves as a preferred partner with British Airways, the international airline code for which is BA. Elaborating on the relationship, LeisureFare then built a website called BAway.co.uk, a tongue-in-cheek spelling that captures the spirit of most holiday planners who are often seeking a vacation because they feel the urge to "be away" on a cruise somewhere in the world.
UpperCrustTravel.com, part of the LeisureFare family of travel companies, is the brainchild of Devin Fleming and Michael Martin, Corporate Officers in the Miami office, and Chris Unstead, Destination Consultant. As the name implies, their clients are customers who want to experience the top-of-the-line and the very best. The philosophy is to offer only the best product, at the very best prices possible, to those savvy customers who are accustomed to luxury travel and excellent customer service. This is what is provided because this is what they expect. Keeping in the theme, some offers will specifically cater to travelers who may want to enhance their knowledge and cooking skills with regard to various cuisines and cultures. Whether it is a cruise vacation featuring a cooking class or two with a celebrated chef and wine lecture or a total vacation solely focused on food, food, wining & dining, many opportunities are available.
In addition, with over 50 combined years in the vacation industry, UpperCrustTravel.com / BAwayCruises.com have a significant advantage over other travel agents, many of whom have only been on a couple of cruises and seen a site or two on land. For almost 30 of those years our team actually lived onboard cruise ships, as well as at resorts and in popular destinations around the world, working in various guest service related capacities and positions. We have personally helped to provide a high quality of service that was expected by their passengers and clients. Our in-depth knowledge of how cruise vacations work, and our first-hand experience in having escorted guests to most major ports of call in all parts of the world provide unique qualifications as experts when it comes to recommending particular itineraries or land tours for our customers.
We look forward to providing only the best vacation experiences to those who won’t settle for anything less.
