Setting sail in style – Ferry FAM Trip highlights
From the comfort of P&O Ferries and DFDS International to the charming streets of York, our latest FAM trip was a showcase of travel at its most seamless and scenic.
🛳️ Two overnight ferry crossings offered our team the perfect opportunity to explore onboard services and stunning sea views — all while connecting key destinations.
In York, the team explored the magnificent York Minster, its Undercroft and Treasury, before enjoying a hearty three-course lunch at Nicholson’s Old White Swan (yes, the chocolate brownie was a hit!).
Our journey through the cobbled lanes and historic corners of the city left a lasting impression.
Special thanks to Marlin Travel, Travel Network for providing comfortable coach transport throughout.
Fam trips are always a fantastic way for our team to experience our destinations first-hand. They provide insight into what it’s like for our travellers and help ensure we’re delivering the best service possible at every stage of the journey.

✨ Hampton Court Palace FAM Trip

Recently our UK based staff had the pleasure of visiting the remarkable Hampton Court Palace – an iconic site steeped in royal history, set along the scenic River Thames in Greater London.

Built in the early 1500s and once home to Henry VIII, the palace showcases grand halls, vast Tudor kitchens and a beautifully preserved chapel. A real highlight were the stunning gardens – a perfect blend of formal design and peaceful green space that made the visit truly memorable.

🎟️ A heartfelt thank you to for generously providing entry tickets for our group, and to Travellers’ Choice Bus Company for the seamless transport that made the day so easy.

We spent a few relaxed hours exploring the palace at our own pace, enjoying the immersive storytelling through the provided headsets. We wrapped up with a classic pub lunch opposite the palace, followed by a team walk – the perfect end to a rewarding day.

Thanks again to everyone who made this FAM trip such a success! Trips like these not only deepen our expertise but also fuel our passion for crafting meaningful travel experiences.
