Travel Counsellors make organising your dream cruise personal, simple and convenient. We'll connect you with a dedicated Travel Counsellor from a select group of cruise specialists. This is your chance to share what you really want from your cruise, be it cultural excursions, fine dining, entertainment or pampering.

The best cruise lines

From Mediterranean beaches to far-reaching expeditions, we work with the world's most respected cruise operators, including Celebrity, Scenic, Regent, and Royal Caribbean.

With thousands of itineraries available, your Travel Counsellor will know which ship, route and sailing will truly suit you. They can also suggest extras such as private transfers and cabin upgrades – little touches that can make all the difference.

I am a cruise fanatic and a multi award winning cruise specialist. Since my first family cruise in 2018, I have been hooked on life at sea and love helping my customers discover it too. I am a proud member of CLIA and have trained with numerous cruise lines so I can match you to the right ship and itinerary.

I am also delighted to be a Gold Travel Counsellor, placing me in the top 10% of Travel Counsellors worldwide, and to have been recognised as TTG's Cruise Travel Agent of the Year 2024 and Cruise Trade News' Homeworking Cruise Star of 2025.

My two passions and areas of expertise are Australia and Canada. I am an official specialist, through training provided by the tourism boards and through selling these wonderful countries multiple times. I love creating bespoke itineraries for individuals, couples and families to these areas.

I've also arranged many cruises for solo travellers, couples and families. Every cruise is different and using a Travel Counsellor you benefit from expert knowledge and guidance, to ensure it's the right fit for you and your family.

Paula Hardman

My personal travels have taken me across Europe, the Caribbean, the USA (with Las Vegas a particular favourite), Dubai, the Maldives, Singapore, Thailand, Australia and the French Polynesian islands, including iconic Bora Bora.

I am also a keen cruiser and have achieved Captain status with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara through comprehensive product training. The perfect cruise means something different to every traveller, whether that's a family adventure, a relaxing couples escape, or the opportunity to explore multiple destinations in one trip. I love helping clients discover the experiences that suit them best.

I specialise in touring, adventure and multi-centre journeys, creating tailor-made leisure travel for clients who want more than an off-the-shelf holiday.

I love guiding first-time cruisers through everything they need to know and inspiring experienced cruisers with new itineraries and ship launches. Cruise is a fantastic way to travel, combining comfort, convenience and the opportunity to experience multiple destinations on one seamless trip.

I'm a luxury independent travel agent based in Wilmslow, Cheshire, specialising in bespoke, tailor-made holidays and ultra luxury cruise experiences, carefully designed around each individual customer.

When looking for a luxury travel agent across Cheshire or way beyond, as I have customers throughout the UK and as far as Australia and USA too, it is more than just booking a holiday. It is about choosing someone you can trust to deliver an exceptional experience from start to finish.

I have also been recognised nationally, as a finalist in the national TTG Luxury Travel Awards 2026, a reflection of the level of care, expertise and personalised service I provide.
