✨ Thinking about a cruise? ✨
I’ve been asked a lot recently if I can help with cruise holidays… and I think my little cruise cabin design in the office probably gives it away 🤣.

Cruising is not only one of my favourite ways to holiday, it’s also an area where I have loads of knowledge and experience to help you — from the very first enquiry to making sure you’re on the right ship, right through to when you return home.

I’ve personally sailed with:

🚢 Royal Caribbean
🚢 Cunard
🚢 Marella
🚢 P&O
🚢 Celebrity
🚢 Virgin Voyages
🚢 Regent Seven Seas
🚢 Carnival

…and later this November I’ll be boarding the recently refurbished Norwegian Encore from Miami!

I also invest in regular cruise training and events . Just a few months ago I attended the CLIA Cruise Conference in Southampton, stepping onboard Royal Caribbean’s Independence of the Seas and Fred Olsen’s Balmoral, while meeting with all the leading cruise lines. Next month, I’m even driving to Holyhead just to see Silversea’s stunning Silver Dawn! I cannot wait to sample a days cruise life onboard, the food is going to be out of this world.

So, if a cruise is on your mind, please keep me in yours — I’d love to help you have the very best experience at sea. 🌊⚓

Anyone mentioning cruises, please don’t keep me a secret 🙏🏻😎

From her own experiences abroad and extensive knowledge in the travel industry she was able to tailor our holiday to match our needs and never once waivered if we changed our minds or wanted more alterations, she just genuinely wants you to have the holiday of a lifetime and that's exactly what she has booked for us, couldn't be happier. Her attention to detail is amazing and we're already looking forward to booking our next holiday.

Thinking about booking a holiday? Here’s something to consider...

There are a lot of people out there offering travel services these days, especially with side hustles becoming more popular. And while there’s nothing wrong with loving travel or wanting to turn that into a business, the reality is: booking holidays isn’t just about liking travel.

And when things go wrong—missed flights, hotel issues, last-minute changes—you don’t need someone who dabbles.
You need a professional.

🌍 There’s a growing trend: people who love to travel doing a few weeks of online training and suddenly calling themselves travel agents.

But before you book, ask yourself:
❓ What experience do they really have?
❓ Can they solve problems quickly, calmly, and confidently?
❓ Will they be available when you need them?

A recent news article highlighted how some travel companies focus more on signing people up to “become agents” than on actual travel planning. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement—but when it comes to your own time and money, you deserve someone who’s doing this as more than a side project.

Here’s what you get when you book with me:

✔️ Over 25 years’ experience in the travel industry
✔️ 11+ years as a Travel Counsellor
✔️ A real person at the other end of the phone, 24/7
✔️ One point of contact—start to finish
✔️ Honest advice and support, with your best interests at heart

I’m here to take away the overwhelm, answer your questions, and help you travel with total peace of mind.

So if you're thinking about a cruise or a trip of a lifetime—feel free to reach out. I’d love to help.

🚢💙 Everyone knows I’m cruise obsessed & my office is even designed like a ship’s cabin! There’s nothing better than unpacking once and waking up somewhere new every day.

Later this year, I’ll be sailing on Norwegian Cruise Line’s gorgeous NCL Encore 🛳 and she had a fabulous refurbishment just last year! See the video and I can’t wait to check out the amazing facilities especially…🏎 The thrilling go-kart track at sea (yes, really!) 😱

This morning I was in Lichfield networking!
Can you spot me in the picture? 📸

It’s always a bit nerve-wracking doing the 60-second pitch, but I’m so proud of the work I do and love helping people travel with less stress and more fun. 🗣️💼

Sometimes it’s easier for others to shout about your services than it is for you to do it yourself, but it’s all part of the journey. 🚀

Does anyone have any networking tips? Would love to hear what’s worked for you! 👇
