Our little travel Duck has a passport full of stamps; He’s waddled round the world and danced across the maps.
He started off in 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚, on safari bold and bright, trying to blend in with lions (they spotted him on sight).
Then off to the 𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬, where he floated with delight, chilling in the turquoise sea, a perfect duck’s invite.
Next stop 𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐮𝐬, where he caused a small commotion, He tried to surf the waves… but mostly drank the ocean.
In 𝐅𝐮𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚, he mastered holiday bliss, though his feathers got sunburnt, factor 50 was a miss.
He strutted into 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐞, hopped on a cruise with flair, Took selfies with the captain, he’s a diva everywhere.
Then over to 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐲, in lovely north west France, where he ate too many crêpes and couldn’t fit in his pants.
Finally, 𝐙𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞 in Greece, where he danced the night away, made friends with every tourist, he’s a party duck all day.
𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐨! The funniest or most fabulous snap wins a prize each month.

With 20 ships in the Norwegian Cruise Line fleet, there really is a world of choice. And that’s what makes NCL so interesting, there’s a ship and a style of cruising for almost every kind of holiday.
I recently booked a cruise for a couple new to cruising, on NC, and they were blown away by everything. The itinerary was amazing too, Turkey, Greece and Italy....what s not to love

What stands out most to me is the freedom their Freestyle Cruising offers. No fixed dining times, no rigid schedules, just the flexibility to shape each day exactly how you want it. And if you prefer something a little more elevated, The Haven is a beautiful option with its private spaces and added luxury.

If you’re curious about which NCL ship might suit your travel style, I’ve put together a simple guide that breaks down the differences and helps you choose with confidence.

👉 Read the full guide here: http://jacquiireland.notjusttravel.com/blog/inspiration/welcome-to-norwegian-cruise-line-but-which-of-the-20-ships-is-the-one-for-you

If you’d like personalised recommendations or help comparing cruise lines, just send me a message, I’d love to help you plan something special.

Air traffic control issues
And this is exactly why I bang on about using a travel agent! 😂

With all the NATS issues today causing delays and cancellations, We’ve been keeping an eye on my customers, checking flights and sorting things where we can.

Because when you book with us, you don’t have to sit on hold for hours wondering what on earth is happening.

You just message us, I know your booking, your flights and your plans and I’ll do my best to sort it. ❤️

We can’t control the planes (sadly! 😂), but we can be there when things don’t go to plan.

So why wouldn’t you have a real people in your corner when you’re spending your hard-earned money on your holiday?

If you’re thinking about your next trip, you know where I am. 🌍✈️

It’s never too early to start thinking about a Christmas cruise…
If you’ve been saying you’ll “do the Christmas markets one year,” this might be the year to finally make it happen.

A river cruise is such an easy way to see multiple markets in one trip, your ship travels with you, no hotel hopping, no trains to organise, just step off, explore, and step back onboard when you’re ready. There are so many itineraries and lengths to choose from too.

As a Travel Consultant, I can help you compare cruise lines, dates and routes, find something that suits your budget and travel style, and make sure you get plenty of time in the destinations you’re excited about.

If Christmas markets are on your list, tell me which ones, I’ll help you find the perfect cruise.

An added bonus is there are no fly sailings too on selected cruise lines.

As a family we are doing exactly that this year.

📚𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐃𝐚𝐲, 𝐬𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐭’𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤…

Reading can help us relax, reduce stress, boost our imagination and, of course, take us somewhere completely different for a while. 🌍📖

But what if you could step inside the story and actually travel?

We can organise trips for groups who love to read, whether that’s:

🚢 𝐀 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐔𝐊 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭
Cruise ships are full of calm, comfortable areas ideal for book lovers: They have built-in spaces perfect for reading.
Libraries and reading lounges
Quiet cafés
Deck spaces with sea views
Indoor relaxation zones
Everyone can dip in and out without feeling awkward, perfect for a group of strangers.

☀️𝐀 𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦
A villa gives you peace, quiet, and uninterrupted reading time
Unlike hotels or busy resorts, a villa gives you:
Private terraces
Shaded reading corners
Poolside loungers
Indoor cosy spaces
Sunshine
Everyone can find their own nook without feeling crowded or self‑conscious.

🏡 𝐀 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐊 𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞
Cosy, atmospheric settings perfect for reading
The UK does “cosy” better than almost anywhere.
Think:
crackling fires
warm lamps
snug lounges
countryside view
charming coastal cottages
One of my suggestions here would be Edinburgh as it is the World Capital of Literature with 50+ Independent bookshops. The Edinburgh International Book Festival takes place in August and there many literary walking tours.
Another fabulous City is Dublin (although not part of the UK but its not far to travel and beautiful), the City of Joyce, Teats and Beckett

🌍 𝐀 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬
A curated tour gives gentle structure that helps strangers feel comfortable:
planned meet‑ups
shared meals
guided excursions
relaxed downtime
It avoids the awkwardness of “What shall we do next?” and replaces it with natural bonding moments.

𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞
Paris (Shakespeare & Company, legendary bookshop)
Prague (Kafka)
Porto (Livraria Lello)
Dublin (Joyce & Yeats)
Amsterdam (Huge book culture and Anne Frank House)
Vienna (famous literary cafe's, Cafe Central and Cafe Hawelka)
Krakow (Unesco City of Literature)
Buenos Aires (El Ateneo Grand Splendid, an iconic theatre-turned-bookshop)

Imagine travelling with your book club, a group of friends or simply a bunch of fellow book lovers, sharing experiences, discovering new places and maybe enjoying a good book along the way. ❤️

𝐒𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧…

If you could take your book club 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 in the world, where would you go?
