Wow - it’s hard to believe we are nearing the end of March already. The winter months are thankfully behind us and spring has sprung. With the appearance of the daffodils and the birds singing, our moods are changing and we're looking towards summer, and beyond.

It’s been an incredibly busy start to the year and I thank you all for your continued support with bookings and recommendations. They really do make a difference to my business.

So far this year, I have booked holidays for large, multi-generational families who will be cruising the med in 2024 and 2025, honeymoons for 2024 and 2025, a celebratory birthday holiday to the Maldives in 2025, lots of family sunshine holidays and several city breaks. Plus I've aided and abetted in a proposal of marriage - she said yes!

Having something to look forward to is a great way to keep ourselves positive and enthusiastic, and possibly one of the best things to look forward to is a holiday that's been perfectly designed for you.

I’m often asked if I offer similar holidays to the adverts on TV, in newspapers, on the high street and on social media. The simple answer is YES. So before you click ‘book’ on that faceless online website, please get in touch and I’ll get it booked it for you!

To me you are more than just a number - I care about you and your holiday.

I work with over 400 suppliers. Some you will know from the high street and online, such as Jet2, EasyJet Holidays, TUI, Newmarket, Inghams, Club Med, Kuoni, Emirates, P&O Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Olympic Holidays, Virgin Voyages, etc.

I specialise in all types of holidays, from family holidays, city breaks and multi-centre itineraries to luxury holidays, adults-only breaks, ski holidays and cruises, to name but a few.

I can book you exactly the same holiday you’re looking at, for either the same price or, on most occasions, with an EXTRA saving. Or I can create a totally unique, bespoke holiday just for you! ✨

Plus, if there’s ever a problem that needs dealing with, it’s me that sits on the phone for hours on hold and NOT you!

I have guaranteed prices for 2025 and 2026 for lots of destinations, so whether you prefer to book last minute or in advance, I have you covered.

Wishing you a very happy Easter.

Let me find the perfect cruise for you

There’s something quite refreshing about cruising - waking up in a new port to discover a new town or city.

I've always enjoyed river cruising - you don't have a set table or dining slot. It's flexible and I prefer à la carte dining over buffets. Cruising the Danube with Tauck was amazing, and visiting different areas gave me a real insight as to where I’d like to return to discover more.

I hadn't cruised at sea until 2022. If I’m honest, I didn’t think I’d enjoy it. I’m not one for being told what to do, so the idea of being told where I was going, what I was doing, where to eat, when to eat and who I shared a table with wasn’t my idea of a holiday. I'm happy to report that Virgin Voyages proved me wrong...

Virgin Voyages encapsulated all the elements I loved about Tauck and then some. Being larger, there was a huge variety of bars, restaurants and entertainment. The ports were also more varied. So I quickly discovered I did quite like cruising at sea after all...

Then along came Quark Expeditions and a 14-day Antarctic voyage. This was a smaller ship (if you are planning an expedition, being on a small ship is a huge bonus, as they can usually change itinerary based on weather). The team on board were amazing and at top of their fields, whether it was ornithology, global warming or glaciology.

The lectures were all fascinating, and life on board was as busy as you’d like to make it. Having to seek shelter behind an iceberg is something I won’t forget!

Then, last summer, after a few days in Rome, I was able to embark on a tall ship sailing cruise around the Amalfi coast with Star Clipper. It was utterly spectacular and each sail away party was so evocative as I sipped Champagne, with the wind in the sails and the sound of Vangelis playing – memories in the making.

They say there is a cruise for everyone and I’ve got to agree there really is. So if you are on the fence about trying one, give me a call and we can find one that ticks all your boxes.

If you’ve cruised before and have your favourite cruise company or if you’ve seen a sailing you like the look of, give me a call and I can book them for you.

And if flying or cruising is not your thing, I’ve got plenty of rail holidays in the UK and Europe up my sleeve... 

My snowmobile adventure in the Arctic Circle

This year has not only been busy in the office - I have also ticked off a bucket list experience – Lapland. I was fortunate to experience this amazing adventure with Transun. What better way to expore than by snowmobile! Totally exhilarating...
