Day 5 — A little Egyptian winter sunshine 🌴
Trade your winter coat for a poolside chair — at least during the day.

Egypt’s Red Sea resorts offer a welcome change from the UK winter. Think sea views, leisurely lunches and time to switch off.

Spend seven nights all-inclusive in a five-star luxury resort, with meals and selected drinks covered according to your hotel’s package.

Fill your days with a book by the pool or explore the underwater world on a suitable snorkelling trip. Or do very little. That counts as a holiday, too.

✨ 7 nights all-inclusive
✨ Five-star luxury resort
✨ From £780 per person

Winter days can feel pleasantly warm, but evenings cool down. Some resorts feel breezy, so a heated pool is worth checking.

Ready for some winter sunshine? Send me your preferred dates and departure airport.

Day 4 — A new year on the Danube 🥂
A different view. A new year. And no washing-up after the celebrations.

Welcome the new year on a six-day Danube river cruise, visiting Austria, Hungary and Slovakia.

Think grand architecture, winter city walks and changing river views. Daily excursions help you explore, while full-board dining makes life onboard simple.

Then comes the occasion itself: a New Year’s Eve gala to mark the start of another year.

✨ 6 days from £1,799 per person
✨ Full-board dining
✨ Daily excursions
✨ New Year’s Eve gala

This is a winter city escape, so expect cold weather. Bring a warm coat for exploring, then return to the comfort of your ship.

Day 3 — Christmas markets, without the flight 🎄
Twinkling lights, warm waffles and that first sip of something festive.

Today’s winter escape has a different feel: a Christmas market break by coach.

With local collection points, you can leave the driving to someone else. Spend three nights away, with breakfast included, and visit both Düsseldorf and Cologne Christmas markets.

Browse wooden stalls for handmade gifts, follow the scent of roasted nuts and enjoy the festive atmosphere. Cologne’s cathedral makes a spectacular backdrop.

✨ 3 nights’ bed and breakfast
✨ Coach travel with local collections
✨ Visits to Düsseldorf and Cologne Christmas markets
✨ From £519 per person

Pack warm layers and comfortable shoes. There’s plenty to explore, and coach journeys can make for long travel days.

Message me your postcode and I’ll check your nearest collection point.

Day 2 — A longer stay, a brighter winter ☀️
What if your winter escape lasted longer than a week?

Think 21 to 45 days away from dark afternoons and wet-weather routines. Time to find a favourite café, explore at your own pace and settle into somewhere new.

Spain’s Costas offer seaside promenades and towns to explore. Tunisia brings a North African change of scene. Malta pairs waterfront walks with layers of history.

These destinations offer a milder winter escape, rather than guaranteed beach weather. Expect cooler evenings and the occasional rainy day.

The bonus? Selected longer stays can offer up to 35% off hotel rates. More time away can mean better value on your accommodation.

Where could you picture spending a few winter weeks: Spain, Tunisia or Malta?

Day 1 — Autumn escape to the Canary Islands 🚢
Swap autumn leaves for sea views and a little island sunshine.

Your holiday starts in London Tilbury, with no airport queues or luggage juggling. Step aboard Ambassador’s Ambition and settle into 14 nights of exploring and unwinding.

Discover Madeira’s green hills, Tenerife’s volcanic scenery and Lanzarote’s striking landscapes. There’s a stop in Palma, too, for old-town wandering and a coffee in the sunshine.

Between ports, enjoy those lovely days at sea. A slow breakfast, a good book and nowhere you need to rush.

✨ 14 nights from £999 per person
✨ Up to £400 onboard credit
✨ No-fly sailing from London Tilbury

Autumn sunshine isn’t guaranteed, and sea days can feel cooler. Pack a few layers alongside your sunglasses.

Fancy letting your holiday begin at the port? Send me a message for departure details.

If you’re travelling in the next few days, take 2 minutes to prep. It can save hours if things go wrong.

Quick disruption checklist (from a very long day at Heathrow):

Screenshot everything – booking confirmation, flight details, hotel, transfers, travel insurance, supplier numbers.

Turn on airline + airport app notifications (and check your email spam folder).

Keep receipts for food, taxis, hotels and note times. You may be able to claim.

Don’t cancel anything yourself if you’ve booked a package. Speak to your supplier/Personal Travel Consultant first.

Get it in writing at the desk. Even a short note helps later.

Have a Plan B – would you still travel if you lose a day? Or would you rather switch dates/destination?

If you want your holiday arranged just for you (with proper protection if plans change), message me with your dates and where you’re going.

I should be in Las Vegas right now. AI generated image as not there to take myself 😢

Instead, I’m on the sofa watching the news, after the airport chaos over the last few days turned our trip into a long, stressful wait at Heathrow.

Our flight with Virgin was due to leave at 5.25pm yesterday. By 8pm we still hadn’t had any clear notification of cancellation or a proper update from the airport. The hardest bit was the silence.

Because we’d booked as a package, I called the supplier to get clarity and options. But they hadn’t been notified either. So we were in the dark, relying on the media and whatever the desk staff could tell us.

After speaking to airline staff, we were told to collect our luggage, leave the airport, and wait for the app to update us with an amended flight.

Baggage reclaim was carnage. Bags everywhere. People everywhere. It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. We eventually found our cases, then went back up to departures to speak to the Virgin desk.

Massive queues. People lying on the floor. Sitting on suitcases. Elderly passengers, children… it was awful to see.

By 10pm, we’d been moved onto a new flight for tomorrow… which meant we’d only be in Las Vegas for two full days. That wasn’t the trip we’d planned (or paid for), and we didn’t want to accept it.

Virgin did eventually offer hotels at midnight — 30 minutes away — because everything closer was fully booked. There were 1,000’s of people all trying to find a bed at the same time.

In the end, with no other flight options, we made the decision (with our supplier) that Vegas wasn’t for us this time, sadly.

And this is the bit I want you to take from it: because we booked as a package, the supplier dealt with the overseas side. Transfers. Hotel. The knock-on admin. We didn’t have to ring round telling people we wouldn’t be arriving. When you’re exhausted and stressed, that matters.

This is my first time experiencing disruption like this. Now I completely get why having a Personal Travel Consultant in your corner — and booking as a package — can make a horrible situation a lot more manageable.

If you’re planing on travelling soon and want your holiday arranged just for you, message me and I’ll help you plan it properly (and make sure you’re protected if plans change).

This one gave me goosebumps. Huge congratulations to you both. 💍

They got engaged in front of the Trevi Fountain in Rome on their recent cruise and stay (yes, he actually got down on one knee). And now I’ve booked their honeymoon.🥂

Dubai first for the wow-factor. Big-city energy, skyline views, and a few bucket-list moments.

Then it’s straight to the Maldives to exhale. Think a beach bungalow, followed by a water bungalow on stilts. Barefoot mornings. Lazy swims. Proper switch-off time after the city.

I love being part of these “before and after” moments. Your holiday arranged just for you.

If a Dubai + Maldives twin-centre honeymoon is on your Pinterest board, message me and I’ll map it out for you as your Not Just Travel Personal Travel Consultant.

Out of office is on — I’m off to Las Vegas.

I’ll have limited access while I’m away, as my days are packed (think Grand Canyon trips, ziplines, shows, casinos… and yes, probably a bit of line dancing too).

I’ve already contacted everyone travelling in the next 7 days. If you’re travelling after that, I’m back in the office on 15th September and will pick things up then.

In the meantime, all your travel documents will still be sent out by the office, and I’ll make sure you have everything you need well before you go.

Thank you for your patience.
