We’re a family-run travel company based in our brand-new shop on Manningtree High Street, offering a wide range of cruise and travel experiences. With over 20 years of expertise, we’re here to help you plan your perfect holiday—whether by land, sea, air, or rail. I manage the day-to-day running of the business and will usually be the person you speak to instore or on the telephone. Mark is available in the evenings and weekends, joins us at events, and is always happy to help. Our daughters also lend a hand at events—so if you spot us out and about with leaflets, chances are they’ll be with us! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

The only thing we can’t do is the packing! 😊

Although we have a retail shop, we’re available 7 days a week for our valued customers. If you’re local, pop in and say hello! If you’re further afield, we’re just a phone call or email away. Get in touch for an informal chat—we’d love to help you find your perfect getaway. While you’re here, please click ‘Like’ to join us on our adventures.

🚢 Our Thursday included a visit to Tilbury to step aboard Ambassador Renaissance before she sets sail for the Caribbean! 🌴☀️

A welcome day out of the office to explore this smaller ship ahead of her winter season.

With just 1,100 passengers, she offers a more intimate cruising experience, proving that you don’t need a mega-ship to enjoy a memorable voyage. ⚓️✨

Unfortunately, the shop will be closed this morning as I’m unable to get there due to the Orwell Bridge closure.

You can still reach us by telephone or email, and I’ll keep an eye on things from here.

Fingers crossed the bridge reopens soon and I can get on my way! 🤞

Thank you for your patience and understanding. 💛
