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 />
