Looking back at a chat with Cheryl from Riviera Travel, who joined me on the stand at the New Forest & Hampshire County Show last month.

We got talking about what's actually included on a river cruise, from onboard meals and drinks to excursions along the way, and why it takes so much of the guesswork out of planning a trip. Cheryl also talked me through Riviera's new Solo vessel, built with solo travellers in mind, and their escorted touring programme for anyone who wants more time exploring each destination.

If a river cruise or escorted tour is something you've been considering, I'm happy to talk you through what's out there and find the right fit for you.

Whilst at the New Forest & Hampshire County Show last month, I managed to grab some time with Paul from Fred. Holidays to ask him a few questions about:

Rail holidays, and why travelling by train is quietly becoming one of the most popular ways to see Europe without the hassle of airports.

The Mekong River cruise charter, launching in 2027, a genuinely exciting one for anyone interested in something a little different from the usual cruise itinerary.

And what's hot on the destination front right now, the places Fred. Holidays are seeing real demand for and why.

Paul's knowledge of this side of the business is exactly why so many of my clients trust Fred. Holidays time and again.

If any of that catches your eye, especially the Mekong charter, get in touch and I'll talk you through it.

Proud to confirm my CLIA Cruise Master status for 2026 🎖️

I've just completed my refresher training to maintain this advanced level of accreditation, keeping me current on new ships and itineraries, safety protocols, and the latest developments across the cruise industry. This year I also gained CLIA's Expedition Cruise Champion designation, reflecting my specialist focus on expedition cruising.

For you, that means every recommendation I make is backed by trusted, up-to-date expertise and a genuine commitment to getting your cruise right, tailored to what matters to you.

Thank you to CLIA for continuing to support and elevate professionals across the cruise sector.

I had a surprise delivery yesterday, a thank you for a holiday I arranged a few months ago. 🍺

The brief was specific: a surprise trip for a client's husband, timed for the Tour de France and a plan to get him close enough to see the riders go past. I put together flights, car hire and a hotel in Les Deux Alpes, a resort I know well from my time in the ski industry.

This is the bit people don't always know about my business. Cruising is my specialty, but if you've got a specific idea, a bucket list moment, or something that needs local knowledge to pull off properly, that's exactly the kind of challenge I enjoy.
