STRATEGIC REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

Introduction

The directors present the Company's strategic report together with the audited financial statements

for the year ended 30 April 2025, together with the comparative period for the year ended 30 April 2024.

The principal activity of the Company continued to be that of cruise specialists, both as agents and tour

operators, to the consumer market.

Review of business

The Company has reported a strong set of financial results, capitalising on the growth in the cruise sector where, aside from some travel disruption because of conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine, destinations across the world are generally open for in-bound tourism.

The most recent cruise industry report from Mintel, revealed a total of 2.48m cruise holidays were taken in the UK and Ireland in the calendar year 2024, an increase of circa 0.2m, or 8.9%, against the prior year 2.28m. The Mediterranean remains the number one destination for cruise travellers at 35%, followed by Northern Europe at 27%, the Caribbean at 13%, and the rest of the world at 25%. Mintel's report forecasts passenger growth of 4% in 2025, and 17% in the next five years.

The Company has continued in its investment programme, both in terms of staff training and technology, geared towards client retention, where customer satisfaction remains as the cornerstone of the Company's success and has been pivotal in the recovery from the pandemic. The Company's ethos in providing superlative levels of customer service can be evidenced through Feefo, Google and Trust Pilot with ratings of 4.8/5 - 4.9/5 (2024: 4.7/5). The Company's Feefo rating is also classified as platinum due to the consistency of the rating.

Throughout the year, the in-house development team have further enhanced the bespoke front and back-office systems, with a particular focus on the contact relationship management (CRM) software. This has enabled the Company to further enhance its client retention with the highest level of repeat bookers being recorded in the year under review.

The Company has a unique business model, where it is often regarded as the marketing arm for many cruise lines, working closely with them in the creation of dynamic marketing initiatives where the Company has considerable expertise and a proven track record. The strength of those relationships is borne out of the exceptional commercial terms that the Company has achieved over time, aligned with the Company's key focus on improving the financial yields for the cruise lines, both in terms of value and forward occupancy.

STRATEGIC REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Company is reliant on information technology and has a dedicated IT team to service the daily needs of the business, as well as further enhancing the front and back-office systems and associated reporting. This has enabled the Company to maximise the efficiency of the operational procedures and will continue to be a key focus for the business in the coming years. A fully documented disaster recovery plan is in place, including off- site data backup.

The principal risks faced by the business are as follows:

Credit risk

The Company's credit risk is primarily only attributable to customer receivables for future departures, and therefore has no concentration of credit risk. The financial statements incorporate a provision for cancellations arising from future departures, and this is reviewed periodically by the Directors.

Cash flow risk

The Company has comprehensive daily financial reporting in place. Cashflow, as well as profitability, is reviewed daily against both forecast and prior periods. Any adverse variances are highlighted for management review.

At the outturn of the year cash-at-bank was £27.2m, broadly in line with the prior year. Of the £27.2m, a total of £11.1m was held in escrow in accordance with the Company's ATOL licensing conditions which require 70% of all customer monies collected to be placed in escrow until departure.

Travel industry disruption risk

The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, such as hurricanes or earthquakes, and geo-political events, such as civil unrest, could adversely affect our business performance. These events, should they arise, would have a direct impact on our supply partners and cruise lines who may be forced to make last-minute changes to their itineraries or possibly full re-deployments.

The Company has a team of experienced staff to deal with those potential scenarios, to minimise both the disruption caused to its' clients and the cost to the business. During Covid-19, the Company adapted rapidly to the demands upon it following the initial suspension in international cruising in March 2020 and was successful in transferring a significant number of customers to later departures in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

STRATEGIC REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

Section 172(1) statement

Large companies must publish a statement setting out how their Directors have complied with Section 172(1) of the Companies Act 2006. This requires Directors to act in the way they consider would most likely promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard (amongst other matters) to:

- |  | the likely consequences of any decisions in the long term. |

- |  | the interests of the company's employees. |

- |  | the need to foster the company's business relationships with suppliers, customers and others. |

- |  | the impact of the company's operations on the community and environment. |

- |  | the desirability of the company maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct; and, |

- |  | the need to act fairly between members of the company. |

The following disclosure describes how the Directors have had regard to the matters set out in Section 172(1)(a) to (f) and forms the Directors' statement under section 414CZA of The Companies Act 2006.

The Directors consider, both individually and collectively, that we have acted in the way we consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of its members as a whole (having regard to the stakeholders and matters set out in section 172(1)(a-f) of the Companies Act 2006) in the decisions taken during the year ended 30 April 2025.

Decision-making at the Board

The Board consists of experienced Directors who bring considerable experience and perspective to the decision making process. The responsibilities of the Board are set out in the Company's Articles of Association. The Board meets on a regular basis and all matters in which the Board is required to reach a decision are presented at Board meetings. Supporting papers setting out to the Directors the relevant key facts are also provided. The papers also describe any potential short-term and long-term impacts and risks for the Company, its clients, employees, shareholders and other stakeholders including suppliers, the community and environment, and how these are to be managed.

Employees

The Directors consider its employees to be a primary stakeholder in the business and strive to retain and motivate all employees as well as attracting high quality new talent. The culture is to be supportive and actively recognise efforts, ensuring employees feel they are making an impact doing fulfilling work, as well as encouraging people to grow and develop. The Company has a strong focus on employee engagement and HR strategy and seek to develop a workplace that employees enjoy being a part of. The wellbeing of employees is very important, and integrating work and family life, as well as taking care of oneself and giving back to the community are all encouraged.

Diversity and equal opportunity are of great importance to the Company where we believe it's the only way to ensure everyone can reach their full potential. We are proud of our inclusive culture and the part it plays in attracting and retaining a talented workforce with real passion for delivering extraordinary service.

Clients

Our clients are at the heart of what we do. The Company's ethos in providing superlative levels of customer service can be evidenced through Feefo, Google and Trust Pilot with ratings of 4.8/5 - 4.9/5 (2024: 4.7/5). The Company's Feefo rating is also classified as platinum due to the consistency of the rating. Our travel consultants have many years of travel industry experience, and we support the enhancement of their knowledge through tailored training courses working in conjunction with our cruise line partners. Our clients' experiences are closely monitored through feedback, and we have dedicated customer support and care teams to ensure the highest levels of customer satisfaction are maintained.

Environment

We work hard to reduce the carbon footprint of our business. The Company continues to prioritise sustainability in all activities and processes. The Company uses solar energy to assist in the offsetting of its carbon footprint and in the year under review has installed electric vehicle charging points for its employees and visitors. The Company has adopted a tree planting initiative where one tree is planted for each travel booking made.

STRATEGIC REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

High standards of business conduct

The Board set out to behave in a responsible manner, operating with the highest standards of business conduct and good governance, ensuring that risks are identified and minimised, and that the business has the resource and ability to continue to provide the highest quality service to its clients even when unexpected situations arise, such as the recent Covid-19 pandemic.

We work closely and collaboratively with our service providers, including cruise lines, airline consolidators, transport services, and suppliers, including our technology partners, developing a partnership approach to foster sound commercial relationships that ultimately benefit our clients.

Future developments

The Company continues to make investments in its digital strategy with a year-on-year growth in post-distribution profit of 10%. This has enabled the Company to improve its cost of acquisition such that FY25 measured 36% as a cost of acquisition when measured against gross profit, compared to 41% in FY24. Further development of the front and back-office systems is envisaged in the year ahead, with associated improvements to the Company's internal reporting through its data warehouse. Many of the Company's key performance indicators are now monitored daily, enabling management to react quickly to market changes, both in terms of commercial opportunity and fluctuations in consumer demand

Further developments of the CRM are also planned in the year-ahead and, with the capture of a client's specific travelling preferences, will enable a more focused and tactical approach of the Company's marketing campaigns resulting in potential reductions in the cost of acquisition.

Key performance indicators

The Company uses key measurements including TTV per passenger and booking and gross margin to measure performance, as well as concentration by supplier. The Company constantly reviews its return on marketing investment across all distribution channels including press, database and digital and is conversant to reacting dynamically to any material changes affecting post-distribution profit. Key areas of the business, including sales and marketing, are assessed each month against specific targets. In addition to the principal revenue measurements, management also regularly assess the rate of booking transfer over cancellation and monitor daily cash performance and liquidity.

The key financial performance indicators for the Company are as follows:

Total transactional turnover |  | 189,868,586 |  | 176,065,258 |

STRATEGIC REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

Review of financial performance

In line with the reported growth above, the business experienced strong booking demand throughout the year under review with a 5% increase in total gross transactional turnover, before booking cancellations and amendments. After the deduction of booking cancellations and amendments, and as represented within the financial statements, total gross transactional turnover for the year was £190m, up by £14m, or 8%, against the prior year £176m. It is fair to say, therefore, that the business is now experiencing solid and organic growth from the pre-pandemic period and is best placed to capitalise on the projected growth within the cruise sector which, for the calendar year 2025, is envisaged to see passenger growth in the UK and Ireland of over 4%.

The Company has streamlined and further enhanced its key routes to market with distribution costs, when measured against gross profit, reducing from 41.4% in FY24 to 36.5% in FY25. Operating profit for the year amounted to £9.5m and compares with £6.3m in FY24. The Company continues to optimise its treasury management such that interest receipts reported for the year amounted to £1.4m.

Overall, the Directors are pleased with the results for the year, which provide for pre-tax profits of circa £10.9m, compared with £7.4m in the prior year.

Going concern

The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The forecast assumes a relatively modest increase in activity over and above FY25 and indicates that the Business will have adequate financial resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Given this position, and the results across the first two months of FY26, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

Employee engagement

The Company is committed to engaging employees in the performance and direction of the Company. This has been further reinforced with the sale of the majority of the holding company's shareholding to an Employee Ownership Trust. As at the date of signing the audited financial statements, the EOT held 51% of the entire shareholding of ROL Cruise Holdings Limited.

The unique training and awards scheme continues to show significant benefits for the Company. Staff retention is a key strategy for the business and the awards scheme has further enhanced employee knowledge and expertise. Positive feedback has been received from both clients and suppliers alike, and the Directors are confident that this ongoing initiative will enable the business to retain and develop its status as a recognised cruise specialist within the industry. As with many companies emerging from the Pandemic, staff recruitment and retention are a key challenge and focus for the Business. Staff engagement, motivation and financial rewards are all pivotal in supporting retention and have underpinned the solid performance of the business as it emerged from the aftermath of the Pandemic.

Engagement with suppliers, customers and others

The directors have prioritised fair and transparent dealings, timely payments, and open communication with suppliers. The directors have encouraged customer centricity, responsiveness, and a focus on customer satisfaction.

The directors decided to appoint new auditors in the year. The move to a local firm, highlights the company's commitment to supporting local business.

Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

- | state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Statement as to disclosure of information to auditors

So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

READER OFFERS LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Reader Offers Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 April 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statement of Cash Flows, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 30 April 2025 and of its profit for the year then ended;

- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

- | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

READER OFFERS LIMITED

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page nine, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

READER OFFERS LIMITED

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

- |  | Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims; |

- |  | Reviewing minutes of meetings of meetings of those charged with governance; |

- |  | Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; |

- |  | Enquiry of management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. |

The potential impact of these laws and regulations on the financial statements has been considered.

The Company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation (including related companies legislation), distributable profits legislation and taxation legislation. We have assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.

The Company is also subject to specific industry laws and regulations such as with ABTA and CAA where the consequence of non compliance could result in the loss of the Company's license to operate and therefore have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Therefore, if a breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, an audit will not detect that breach.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

1. | Statutory information

| Reader Offers Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. | Accounting policies

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

| Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

| The company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland":

| • | the requirement of paragraph 33.7.

| Turnover

| Turnover represents the value of transactions, being cruise, flights and ancillary products in which the group is, for these purposes regarded as being the principal. Turnover also includes the commission receivable by the Company on transactions in which it is regarded as acting as an agent. In all cases, turnover is recognised on a booking date basis.

| Cancellation provisions

| Provision is made for liabilities arising in respect of expected cancellations and other margin dilution on holidays booked during the year but not yet departed (see note 3).

| Intangible assets

| Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Capitalised software development costs are amortised over the period in which the company expects to benefit from the use of the product developed but not exceeding ten years.

| The directors assess the useful life of the intangible assets at a rate of 20% reducing balance.

| The useful life and the value of the capitalised development costs are assessed for impairment at least annually. The value is written down immediately if impairment has occurred and the unimpaired cost amortised over the reduced useful life.

| Tangible fixed assets

| Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

| Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

| Leasehold Improvements |  | - |  | 25% straight line |  |

| Fixture and Fittings |  | - |  | 25% straight line |  |

| The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

| Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.

2. | Accounting policies - continued

| Financial instruments

| The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 "Basic Financial Instruments" of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

| Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Statement of Financial Position when the

| Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

| Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements,

| when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

| Taxation

| The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

| The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

| Deferred tax

| Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:

| - |  | The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and |  |

| - |  | Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met. |  |

| Foreign currency translation

| Functional and presentation currency

| The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

| Transactions and balances

| Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

| At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

| Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

| Valuation of investments

| Investments in listed company shares are remeasured to market value at each Statement of financial position date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss for the period

2. | Accounting policies - continued

| Debtors

| Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

| Cash and cash equivalents

| Cash is represented by cash in hand, monies held in Escrow and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

| Creditors

| Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

| Finance Costs

| Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount.

| Dividends

| Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.

| Pensions and defined contribution pension plan

| The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

| The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

| Holiday pay accrual

| A liability is recognised to the extent of any unused holiday pay entitlement which is accrued at the reporting date and carried forward to future periods. This is measured at the undiscounted salary cost of the future holiday entitlement so accrued at the reporting date.

| Interest income

| Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

| Provisions for liabilities

| Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.

| Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.

| Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.

| Cruise miles

| The cost of cruise miles are treated as a cost of sale, with an accrual equal to the estimated fair value of the miles issued recognised when the original transaction occurs. On redemption, the cost of the redemption is offset against the accrual.

| Going concern

| The Company's business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future trading performance are set out in the Strategic report on pages 2 to 6.

| Business has now returned to a normal operating environment, notwithstanding the ongoing conflicts in both Ukraine and Palestine, which have led to itinerary changes from a number of cruise lines, but a very low level of cancellations which have had no material impact on profitability in the year.

| The market in which the Company operates generally outperforms travel as a whole. With the significant investment in new cruise ships, the market is projected to grow in 2025 by 4%, and the Company remains in a strong position to capitalise on that growth. With pre-tax profit at a record £10.9m, the financial projections for FY26 assume a modest increase, with the first two months of trading in the new year up against the forecast and the prior year.

| In order to offer air inclusive package holidays, the Company requires the annual renewal by the CAA of its ATOL licence. The CAA grants this license on the basis of meeting agreed financial criteria and renews this in September (effective 1st October) each year. The Company has complied with these requirements in previous years. In granting the licence in Oct-21 the Company agreed with the CAA for the operation of an Escrow Account applying to all new air inclusive bookings from that date. Given that agreement, and the improving financial position for the business as set out above, the Company does not envisage any issues in the granting of a new licence from Oct-25.

| The Company is a member of ABTA and requires this membership to protect consumer cash for

| retail bookings through a scheme of bonding. The basis upon which bonding is to be calculated has now largely reverted to the pre-Covid basis of assessment and consequently the Company does not foresee any issues in securing the required level of bonding.

| The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for a period of 12 months for the date of approval

| of these financial statements. The forecast assumes a relatively modest increase in activity over and above FY25 and indicates that the Business will have adequate financial resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Given this position, and the results across the first two months of FY26, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

3. | Judgements in applying accounting policies of estimation uncertainty

| In the application of the Company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

| The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are recognised to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

| Critical judgements

| The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.

| Cancellation provision

| Cancellations have now reverted to their pre-Covid level and are broadly a by-product of the income recognition on a booking date basis. Accordingly, the Directors have calculated a provision based on the full value of future departures and then applied an assessment of the potential dilution in gross transactional turnover and gross profit.

| Cruise miles

| In formulating a provision for the estimated value of earnt discounts that will subsequently be redeemed, management makes judgements that are based on historic redemption data.

| Key sources of estimation uncertainty

| The directors are of the view that there are no estimates or assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.

4. | Turnover

| The whole of the turnover is attributable to the principal activity which continued to be that of cruise specialists, both as agents and tour operators, to the consumer market.

| All turnover arose within the United Kingdom.

| The Company's Total Gross Transaction Turnover (representing the gross value of all bookings, including the effect of cancellation and before deductions such as commissions or other costs) amounted to £189,868,586 (2024 - £176,065,258).

| A cancellation provision of £1,842,274 (2024: £2,963,182) has been recognised by the Company for expected cancellations and other margin dilution on holidays booked prior to the year end but not yet departed. It is expected that most of this provision will be utilised in the next financial year and all will be incurred within two years of the balance sheet date. No provisions have been recognised in respect of potential disruptions to customer travel. The provision in 2025 has seen a significant fall due to a reduction in future booked holidays at 30 April 2025 and the general reduction in cancellations following the pandemic.
