because we’re cruisers too.<br />

Exploring by sea is one of the greatest forms of travel I<br />
have experienced. I have sailed from France around<br />
Corsica and the Greek islands on a 130 foot luxury<br />
yacht which gave me a great insight to some of the most<br />
beautiful ports and marinas in the world. River cruising<br />
is also a favourite and I have cruised the Rhine with<br />
Uniworld as well as the Christmas markets from Prague<br />
to Vienna with Avalon waterways. I also explored the<br />
beautiful islands of Croatia with Katarina Lines.<br />
Having worked on cruise ships for 8 years my first hand<br />
cruise experience & knowledge is extensive. I have<br />
literally cruised to all oceans and continents around the<br />
world, on large, medium and small sized ships. Favourite<br />
cruise destinations for me are the Caribbean, Norwegian<br />
Fjords, Mediterranean and Antarctica. Recently I have<br />
also experienced a river cruise on the Rhine with Avalon<br />
Waterways & am looking forward to returning to Alaska<br />
this year and revisiting my first ever cruise region.<br />
Cruising is one of my favourite ways to holiday as it allows<br />
you to do as much or as little as you like and getting the<br />
variety of visiting a range of destinations without the<br />
hassle of changing hotels and catching flights. I have been<br />
lucky enough to cruise on a few different cruise lines to a<br />
few different destinations, however one of my favourites<br />
is cruising in the South Pacific. You can board the ship in<br />
Auckland or Australia and get to visit some untouched<br />
tropical Islands that you may not normally be able to get to.<br />

I love cruising! I’ve been fortunate enough to go on a<br />
few cruises, including a P&O one up the East Coast of<br />
Australia and one around the Greek Islands and Turkey.<br />
However, my favourite trip onboard a boat was a Sail<br />
Croatia trip. This was great way to travel! I really liked<br />
that you only had to unpack once, got to swim and relax<br />
during the day, and at night you could go and explore<br />
one of the various islands. I have a huge passion for<br />
travel and love exploring new destinations.<br />
I was lucky enough to sail the seven seas as a working<br />
crew member on board various size ships around the<br />
world for 5 years, to then be a guest onboard a Turkish<br />
Gulet sail trip along the Turquoise Coast to most recently<br />
an ocean cruise travelling solo in the Caribbean. Cruising<br />
offers something for everyone and now I get to inspire<br />
people to choose the right Cruise for them. To me travel is<br />
addictive, it’s an awe inspiring journey of discovery which<br />
fuels the soul & makes you richer.<br />
Cruising is a fantastic way to see the world! I love<br />
both the small ship experience, on board a yacht<br />
round the coast line of Croatia, as well as the bigger<br />
ship I was fortunate enough to enjoy up in the<br />
Baltics. Nothing beats unpacking once and arriving at<br />
a new destination each morning, relaxed and ready<br />
to explore. Travel is my passion & I love helping<br />
clients create an unforgettable experience that is<br />
uniquely their own!<br />
