Can a solo person go on a cruise?
Yes, and most people meet others at organised meet ups and make friends. There are solo people who regularly go cruising, but getting a good deal can be challenging so here are some great deals for solo people who want to go on cruises.

Please contact me directly and I will gladly help people. I have one customer who has booked 4 solo cruises this year because he loves it so much and now he travels solo but with people he met on an Ambassador Cruise.

Call Alison on 01244 835287 or send me a message below and I will be in touch.

As we think of all those families affected by the floods and the devestation it has caused - we may feel helpless sitting in our homes, miles away. I hope you dont mind me sharing this appeal, set up by Intrepid, one of our amazing suppliers, who have their own charity. Nearly 50k already raised! Many Thanks x

Nepal needs our support. 💙

Devastating floods have claimed lives, destroyed livelihoods, and caused widespread damage across communities along the Trishuli River corridor.

We’re thankful that all Intrepid travellers and team members in Nepal are safe and accounted for, but many of the communities we work alongside every day have been deeply affected and face an incredibly difficult road ahead.

We’re launching an appeal with the The Intrepid Foundation and Australian Red Cross to support the humanitarian response in Nepal, including emergency shelter support, water sanitation and hygiene, first aid and health services.

We will dollar match every donation up to AUD 100,000.
(Update: We have doubled our commitment to AUD 200,000)

Nepal has welcomed our travellers for decades. Now we must stand with the communities that have given so much to us all.

Where does a Travel Agent take her Mum on holiday?

I have just booked a bucket list cruise to (hopefully) see the Northern Lights dance across the sky, within the Artic circle. I cant wait. Lots of excursions booked too, including meeting the Sami people and if we are lucky we may see reindeer in the wild. The shore excursions sound amazing so I will be sure to take lots of photos and videos to share with you. There are a few cabins left so please get in touch if you want to come on this adventure!

I have recently booked this wonderful, luxury resort on the Greek Island of Corfu, for one of my clients, who had a long list of very specific requirements. Grecotel provided me with the perfect "quiet luxury" resort with everything they needed and more. So much so that they decided to stay for an extra 3 nights!

They are a family of 4, and they will have 2 interconnecting rooms with proper beds for the children, overlooking a shared pool with a private balcony. They will be all inclusive as requested, there is a farm and aquapark on the site. It's very spread out, so never feels busy. The aquapark is at the back of the resort so it doesn't disturb customers in other parts of the resort. Its a great option for multi generation holidays when grand parents might want some peace and quiet for a bit of 'me time'

If you are struggling with booking a holiday because you need to meet lots of requirements and just can't find that perfect holiday, then please pick up the phone and give me a call. I work in the same way as a standard Travel Agent, I am paid from the commission in the holiday. I don't charge an additional fee for great personal service and I am independent.

Call Alison on 01244 835287

or message me on here initially and then we can discuss the best method of contact for you, e.g. Whats app, Teams, face to face etc.

ATOL protected + a Travel Trust Fund for piece of mind and someone to hold your hand through the process of booking a holiday. I am here for you and when you are in resort and we have a back up emergency number 24/7. I care about you having a great holiday. Care doesn't stop when you place a booking with me.

Years ago, I remember arriving in Bali, with everything in my rucksack covered in shampoo so the solid soap and shampoo bars can prevent a big mess too! If you have other suggestions, please write them in the comments below 🌏 👉
