It’s a tough job playing darts and learning about holidays! 😊

Working from home has its perks, but it’s always nice to escape the home office and catch up with my local TC buddies !

Today was courtesy of Newmarket Holidays, who have been around for donkeys years and are award-winning specialists in escorted tours. From UK breaks , European , Worldwide, Safari , Events and by rail, fly or river cruise .

We had a brilliant afternoon learning lots, having a good laugh and discovering just how many amazing tours they offer there really is something a bit different for everyone. And for solo travellers, there are also selected Newmarket tours with NO single supplement so it’s definitely worth asking me what’s available .

Please make sure you follow my travel page to see lots of their tours I post regularly.
A huge thank you to Claire and Stuart for looking after us so well.

And here’s the really exciting bit…

I can offer my clients an exclusive extra voucher on top of their already fantastic offers.

So, if you fancy an escorted adventure , whether it’s closer to home or somewhere completely new , give me a shout ..

I’ve recently done a lot of cruise training and I have to say if you like small ship sailing then why not try Azamara cruises . Excellent value for money , luxury cruising in a more intimate setting . Ships can get into smaller ports meaning you get longer in destination and often have overnight stays at ports .
They are known for their Azamazing ✨ nights where you get a truly authentic , special and cultural night off ship . Excellent onboard dining , drinks included , and onboard credit which can be used towards excursions .

𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞… 💙

Now with up to $𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐎𝐧𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭 per stateroom to elevate your guests experience - there’s no better time to book an Azamara Cruise.*

Don't forget there are over $4,500 in value with Azamara Always inclusions ... so why not introduce your guests to Azamara small ship cruising for their next adventure!
