Thinking about booking your first river cruise? Here are 4 things to consider before you book!

River cruising is a wonderful way to explore the world, but it’s quite different from an ocean cruise.

🔷 Mobility: Cobblestones, steps and walking tours can all feature, so think about what’s comfortable for you.

🔷 The pace: Itineraries can be excursion-heavy, so don’t expect endless free time.

🔷 The experience: It’s less about onboard entertainment and more about getting into the heart of incredible destinations, discovering local culture, food, w**e and scenery.

🔷 The inclusions: Drinks, excursions, gratuities and transfers can vary between cruise lines, so always check what’s included.

The secret? Finding the right ship, itinerary and experience for you specifically.

Thinking about your first river cruise? Let’s find the perfect one together!

MONDAY… AND WHAT A START! 🥳

🔷 Douro, Porto & Salamanca river cruise booked for my mum and dad 🚢
🔷 A Tromsø Northern Lights adventure confirmed 🌌
🔷 Clients returning from their bespoke Japan trips 🇯🇵
🔷 Florida quotes flying out for 2027 and beyond ☀️
🔷 Scandinavian cruises being planned 🛳️
🔷 and summer 2027 sunshine escapes already taking shape! 🌴

Honestly, I LOVE what I do ☺️

Tomorrow I’m off for a little glam with makeup done courtesy of Rosanna Sulovari MUA -LFW, editorial, bridal& tv - Kent&London before a brand-new brand shoot with Graham at Graham Bewley | Fitness Portraits Ascend 📸 Very exciting - and slightly outside my usual working-from-home attire! 😂

Of course, all of this happens alongside the school runs, running after the boys and making dinner… because apparently I’m not quite a full-time travel agent, personal chauffeur and chef all at once! 🤣

These are your holidays, my passion, and a whole lot of juggling in between. ✈️❤️

Fancy having something fabulous to look forward to? Let’s get planning!

3 holiday booking mistakes I really wish people would stop making! 😵‍💫

Let’s be honest - booking a holiday is about SO much more than finding the cheapest hotel and clicking a button.

You’re investing in precious time away, making memories and hopefully having the most amazing experience. So why treat it like a transaction?

Here are 3 things I’d avoid…

🔷 Treating a holiday like a transaction rather than an experience:

Price matters, absolutely. But booking the cheapest option without considering what you actually want from your holiday can be a very expensive mistake in the long run!

🔷 Relying on generic recommendations:

Your friend’s favourite hotel might be completely wrong for you. Everyone has different priorities, expectations and travel styles. What works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for another!

🔷 Overlooking the finer details:

The room location, flight times, transfers, board basis, resort atmosphere - these are often the things that make the difference between a good holiday and an absolutely brilliant one.

And this is where having someone who genuinely knows their stuff makes a difference 😉

I don’t just send you a link and leave you to it. I get to know you, listen to what matters and use my expertise to find something that genuinely fits.

Because with us, it’s personal.

October half term in Rhodes… and another happy family off making memories!

Lucy and her family have just returned from the Atlantica Princess in Rhodes, and I’m so pleased they had such a lovely time!

Finding the right all-inclusive holiday for a family of 5 isn’t always straightforward. You need the right hotel with big enough bedrooms, the right facilities and something that works for everyone (without blowing the budget!).

But this one was a winner!

The family loved the friendly staff, the food and the entertainment – everything you want from a relaxing half-term getaway.

And you know me… I love those little personal touches! 🥰 Lucy and her family arrived to find a welcome note and a bottle of w**e from me, because I want my clients to feel looked after from the moment their holiday begins, not just when they’re choosing where to go.

Thinking about your next family holiday? Whether you’re a family of 3, 4, 5 or more, I’ll help you find the options that work for you, take the stress out of the planning and look after you along the way.

🇬🇷 Corfu luxury? Yes please! 👌

Tania’s soaked up the sunshine at the stunning Domes Miramare recently – an adults-only escape with gorgeous suites, fabulous food and a beautiful waterfront setting.

A few things I’d consider before booking:
🔷A large resort, so room location matters.
🔷 Not necessarily the best fit for those with walking difficulties.
🔷 More sophisticated relaxation than lively resort entertainment.

But if you’re dreaming of a luxurious Greek escape, this one deserves a spot on your shortlist!

“Should I book now or wait for Black Friday?”

This is something I’m being asked LOADS at the moment, so let’s talk about it!

I completely understand wanting to grab a bargain, but here’s my advice for what it’s worth!

If you’ve found the holiday you love, it’s within your budget and you’re happy with the deposit, I’d book it now!

Why? Because Black Friday discounts aren’t guaranteed. There’s no promise that your particular holiday, hotel, flights or dates will be included in an offer. And waiting could mean the price goes up, availability reduces or the holiday you had your heart set on disappears altogether!

Of course, if you’re flexible and happy to take a chance, that’s a different story. But if you’ve found the one, why risk losing it for a discount that might never come? 😉

Just remember, it’s not just about finding the cheapest price. It’s about finding the RIGHT holiday for you, with the right advice and someone looking after you from the moment you book until you’re home again. ❤️ #
