Joanne Kemp, Travel Counsellors, Redditch I’m can offer you over 39 years’ in the travel industry having previously worked for Lunn Poly and Thomas Cook. Overall
Winner Riviera UK Homeworker Agent 2026.

Gold Travel Counsellor I am recognised as one of the top performing businesses in the company I can offer you over 30 years experience in the travel industry having previously worked for Lunn Poly and Thomas Cook. Sometimes it's hard to find exactly the right holiday. High Street agents want you to book their preferred Tour Operator and searching the internet can be very tedious and time consuming. I have a vast experience of booking holidays and have been quite fortunate to have travelled to destinations such as the Maldives, Mauritius, Jamaica, Bahamas, Cuba, Florida, New York, Las Vegas and California plus many of the Mediterranean resorts. Everything you book with Travel Counsellors is financially protected, The Travel Counsellors Trust provides a financial guarantee that very few other travel agencies can match. The Trust is also more comprehensive in scope than the ATOL protection offered by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) because it covers all kinds of supplier failures and not just travel arrangements including flights. So whether you book just a flight or a tailor made holiday through Travel Counsellors you can have complete peace of mind.

Hello and welcome if you’re new here 👋
I’m Jo, your independent Travel Counsellor based in Redditch, Worcestershire, and I’ve been running my travel business for 20 years.

I’ve always believed the best holidays are the ones that feel like they were designed just for you.

Whether you are dreaming of a tailor made adventure, a chic city break, a relaxing cruise, a special occasion escape or a fun filled family getaway, I’m here to turn your ideas into beautifully planned journeys. I especially love crafting more complex, multi centre itineraries and, more recently, helping clients discover the magic of river cruising.

I’ll take the time to really get to know what you love and what you need from your time away, look after all the arrangements, and be here to support you every step of the way, from the very first conversation until you are safely home.

If you are already dreaming of your next trip, let’s start planning it together. And if you know someone who might value my help, please feel free to pass on my details.

Sail away to the smaller, story filled corners of the Adriatic and Ionian with Crystal Cruises and then wake up somewhere new and utterly charming: on my itinerary I’ve visited…

• Trieste: coffee houses, grand Habsburg architecture and a gentle, old world elegance.

• Corfu: Venetian lanes, citrus groves and hidden coves lapped by turquoise water.

• Kefalonia: dramatic cliffs, pretty harbours and some of Greece’s most beautiful beaches.

• Dubrovnik: marble streets and terracotta rooftops wrapped in ancient city walls.

• Monemvasia: a secret stone citadel rising out of the sea, straight from a medieval storybook.

Crystal’s smaller ships slip effortlessly into these characterful ports, combining five star service, spacious suites and refined dining with the joy of stepping straight into the heart of each destination.

Looking for a more intimate style of cruising, with ports that feel like discoveries rather than crowds? Contact me to start planning your next sailing.

🍴 Foodie heaven on the ocean: Crystal Serenity 🛳️

If you love your food…..Think:

Elegant dinners in Waterside, the main restaurant with a changing fine dining menu each evening.

A night to remember at Umi Uma, the only Nobu restaurant at sea, serving exquisite Japanese Peruvian dishes.

Authentic Italian specialities in Osteria d’Ovidio, perfect with a glass of something chilled.

Casual bites at Trident Grill and Marketplace, plus sweet treats from Scoops ice cream bar and light bites at The Bistro.

And of course, you do not always have to dress up and go out. With butler served insuite dining, you can enjoy:

Freshly prepared breakfast on your private balcony as the sun comes up.

Lazy lunches or beautifully presented dinners in your suite if you fancy a quieter night in.
Your favourite dishes delivered just how you like

If you love the idea of a cruise where every meal feels like a highlight, Crystal Serenity is one that’s very hard to beat.

If you would like to wake up to breakfast on your balcony and world class dining every day of your holiday….get in touch!

Welcome on board Crystal Serenity.

From the moment I arrived at the port, everything was effortless: priority check in, friendly staff, no queues and I was on board within minutes.

After a relaxed fantastic lunch, I headed straight to my beautiful suite where my butler was waiting to welcome me with thoughtful personalised touches made it feel like a sanctuary at sea, with a cosy living area, plush bedroom and gorgeous marble bathroom.

It’s been a fantastic 24 hours and I’ll be sharing more about the ship and itinerary as the week goes on.

Just back from beautiful Kefalonia and yes I’m already packing my bags again!

Tomorrow I’m heading off on my TC Gold trip with Crystal Cruises aboard the ultra luxury Crystal Serenity, an intimate ship carrying around 740 guests.

Crystal Serenity has a real “small luxury hotel at sea” feel: spacious, beautifully refurbished suites, exceptional dining including Nobu’s Umi Uma, elegant bars and lounges.

We’ll be sailing from Venice onto Trieste, Dubrovnik, Corfu, Kefalonia (round two!) and Athens. I’ll be sharing updates here along the way about life on board and what makes Crystal Cruises such a fantastic option for a luxury escape.

If this kind of itinerary sounds tempting, just drop me a message and I’ll be happy to help
start planning your own cruise adventure.
