It's Nice To Meet You
Thank you for visiting my personal webpage at Travel Counsellors. I joined Travel Counsellors in January 2002, having been lucky enough to work within various aspects of the travel business for over 40 years. This has given me a wealth of experience and has allowed me to travel extensively worldwide.
I am a cruise specialist - prior to joining Travel Counsellors I spent the previous 12 years with P&O and Princess Cruises as a sales manager. I have been fortunate to cruise to many areas of the world including the Caribbean, Alaska, Baltic Capitals, Iceland, Norwegian Fjords, Canary Islands and most of the Mediterranean. Cruising is even more popular now and offers a great holiday for everyone; singles, couples and families - there is a cruise out there to suit you everyone.
My job is to find that cruise that is just right for you. That is right in terms of the ship, the cruise line, the destination and duration and of course at a budget to suit you - I will only offer you and cruise that fits what you want to do rather than sell you a particular cruise line just because we work with them.
In fact we work with a huge variety of river and ocean cruise lines big and small, not just the cruise lines everyone has heard of but also the more specialist lines with smaller ships or expedition ships to Antarctica, the Amazon, Galapagos Islands, Svalbard along with Norway and the Artic.
Travel Counsellors are an truly independent travel agency - we can offer you outstanding financial protection.
With us it is personal, we care about our customers, we don't just take the booking and move on, we are here to look after the booking throughout the whole process including completing the online check in procedure and then print and post your travel documents. I am not the internet, I am so much better than that, I do have 24 hours access to all the up to date booking systems, I may not be the cheapest nor would I want to be, the value is me and what I and Travel Counsellors will add to your booking and the whole booking experience.
Read what my customers have said about me and the service I offer.
Working from my home in the New Forest means I give you my undivided attention offering you exceptional customer service. I am available at a time to suit you including evenings and weekends. If you would like to receive regular updates of current cruise offers and cruise news please forward your email address via the above link. You can also find me on Facebook, I have a Facebook business page - look for Caroline Howden Travel Counsellors Cruise Specialist
Since joining Travel Counsellors in 2002 I am honoured to have won the 'Best Cruise' award at our annual conference 9 times, the most recent in 2015. I am also a Gold Travel Counsellor, one of only 170 in the UK. This award recognises high levels of sales each year.
Alongside the cruises I have book I also book holidays to Australia, Florida, Cuba, South Africa and Safaris, New York, Thailand, Mauritius, Canary Islands, Cottages in France and the UK, China and Canada as well as flights to Australia, Dubai as well as various hotels worldwide. I also have the ability to create cruise and stay packages by combining, a flight, cruise, hotel and transfers - to tailor the package to you and your requirements.
I look forward to hearing from you and to be able to arrange your next holiday.
Kind Regards
Caroline

Caroline Howden has been our preferred travel agent for many years now. We usually book cruises through Caroline but have lately also booked flights, hotels and package holidays. Caroline has always been amazingly helpful, she always makes absolutely sure we have the best holiday experience. She is always on hand whether we are at home or away and adjusts arrangements whenever requested. Recently we were trying to arrange a cruise while we were in America. Caroline very kindly agreed to take our call out of normal working hours in order to help. Always friendly, reassuring and incredibly helpful. I would highly recommend using Caroline at Travel Counsellors.

Caroline is a wonderful agent, not only knowledgeable and helpful but when we were off loaded with covid by Cunard she organised our repatriation flights and helped check covid rules for flying when coming out of enforced Spanish quarantine. Our insurance company were of no help and neither were Cunard. Only Caroline.

Once again a great experience dealing with Caroline, who always provides the essential information required for choosing our holiday and delivers it in professional and knowledgeable manner. We would also like to say that during a return flight delay from our recent holiday in Italy, Caroline contacted us at the airport and was able to deal with some important issues for us (even though this was quite late on a Saturday evening! ) giving us peace of mind to what turned out to be a 24 hour delay.

The service we have had from Caroline over the years has been excellent every time. We initially booked with Caroline in 2004 to go on a cruise to Alaska and Canada. We then booked a cruise to Vietnam, Thiailand, Hong Kong and Singaore in 2017 and have recently booked a cruise to Japan in September 2019. On each occasssion the arrangements have been very well organised, co-ordinating flights, transfers, hotels and cruises. Whenever I have contacted Caroline I have received a quick response and find her service very efficient. When booking long haul holidays that are tailor made you rely upon the person organising the holiday to be organised and efficient. As well as making your holiday go smoothly it also gives you peace of mind knowing that eveything is organised. I would highly recommend Caroline.

Caroline Howden, my Travel Counsellor, is always happy to help me and knows me by my first name. She will sort any problems I have, answer any questions however simple. Booking a holiday or cruise is always easy and I don't have to fill in cruise line forms or print off anything, Caroline does it all for me. I get travel insurance through her as well and although it may not be the cheapest it is reassuring to know that should anything happen whilst abroad Caroline is on the end of a phone and will help if necessary.

Have dealt with Caroline on and off for over 10 years now. Several times we have made enquiries but not progressed to a booking (largely for health reasons) but Caroline greets our enquiries with equal courtesy and consideration whether or not they result in a booking. Her concern to ensure bookings match our requirements is outstanding; she works very hard on our behalf; gives valued advice and has not yet led us astray, with every holiday booked with her having been fully up to expectations and thoroughly enjoyable. We are really looking forward to the latest booking.

I would recommend Caroline Howden without any hesitation to anyone wanting a holiday. Caroline is warm, pleasant, very friendly and easy to talk to. Nothing is too much trouble for her, she is very professional and will find out the answer to any questions asked and doesn't mind if you change your mind about things several times. There are also the little things which make you feel special e.g. a thank you card for booking, an anniversary card when we celebrated a special anniversary and emails on a regular basis.

I applaud the open relationship immediately created. International travel isn’t always straightforward either in its planning or execution so I very much appreciated the strong sense of “partnership” that was clearly underpinned the service provided. It is clear that, in a highly competitive market, and where clients can do much themselves, careful thought has been given to what we now call brand loyalty and value, arising from priority being given to on-going business relationships and not just one-off transactions. That is good business thinking and a win-win for all.

We have stayed with Caroline, because she always lets us know the options and will say "have you thought about this or that". I have confidence in booking with Caroline. After going to the local travel agents, they have still not changed and will sell sand to the arabs. That is not what I want. You will always go back to someone who actually looks after you, contacts you when she says she will and if you have a query she WILL answer it and come back - say no more.

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all the time and effort that you have given us over the past 13 years. Six of those years was while we lived in England and the other while we have lived in Spain. With you we have cruised every year - some of that time this included my father. All our trips were organised very successfully with paperwork tickets etc. I always do, and will continue to recommend you to any one taking a cruise. It's lovely when we hear your familiar voice on the telephone when booking our next cruise its a shame that we have not met face to face. Many thanks Caroline.

Needless to say, we have been in contact for many years now and having booked holidays several times a year with Caroline, she continues to provide excellent discounts and an exceptional service.

Caroline is always very helpful and so knowledgable on all aspects of cruising. We stumbled across her many years ago I think from teletext !! and kept her number for future use. She can put together the ideal holiday once she knows your personal requirements, and will always return your calls. Caroline will always give her best price and is an absolute pleasure to deal with. She is familiar with many different cruise lines and there suitability for families..... and those who don't always want to be with all the kids when theirs have grown up !!

We have been happily using the services of Caroline Howden of Travel Counsellors ever since we were recommended to her a few years ago by another very satisfied customer. We have found her commitment to our holidays exemplary. We feel that she always 'goes the extra mile' - no travel pun intended! Anything Caroline promises to do she always does. We never feel forgotten once our holiday is booked and the service continues throughout the wait for the holiday, during it if needed and afterwards she checks to see that everything had been OK. We recommend her without hesitation.

Caroline has given us first class service over many years, we have been pleased to recommend her to family and friends. She always goes that extra mile to ensure that we receive the best possible deal and service. We feel she really knows our likes and dislikes and is honest enough to tell us if she thinks a particular cruise will not suit us. Whilst we have never met her face to face we think of her as a friend.

Caroline has recently taken over from Wendy McNulty who had been my Travel Counsellor for 9 years. Up to press it has been a seamless change as the service seems as good as it was previously. Very professional and competent.

Caroline took over from my previous agent who has booked my holidays for several years. This is not an easy thing to do but Caroline did a brilliant job. She was always helpful,and always there with answers to queries. I will definately carry on booking with Caroline & Travel Counsellors.

Caroline is always friendly and helpful when dealing with enquiries and made our cruise an amazing experience from beginning to end. She always knows who I am when I call and makes me feel like a friend. I would recommend Caroline to anyone as she did everything she could to help me when I organised my families first cruise last year.

Caroline Howden of Travel Counsellors has alway been most helpful,friendly and efficent. Whenever we call Caroline will give us her 150% attention, rarely do we have to leave a message and when we do Caroline returns our call ASAP. We think of her more as a friend now and have recommended her to many friends. We think the difference between Travel Counsellors and regular travel agencys is that you get the personal service of a dedicated member, who is interested in you and will go the extra mile to give you 1st class service***** 5 stars *****

Paul and I, were recommended to Caroline a few years ago and together with friends, she has now organised two cruises and a tour of China for the 4 of us. Caroline is always at the end of the phone or email and strives to provide a first class service, which she has, so far, achieved. Having just returned from China Paul and I are already talking to Caroline about our next holiday and I know that whatever we want to do, wherever we want to go Caroline can help us achieve it and I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending her to you.

We contacted Caroline many years ago following a Travel Counsellors advertisement on Teletext. She immediately put any fears or apprehensive that we had about booking direct with Travel Counsellors that we have used her services ever since. If we are looking for a new cruise we go no further that a phone call or email to Caroline who always responds fast and efficiently with a competitive package. She always knows what type and size of cruise ship we prefer together with the cabin grade, our dinner seating preference and table size! What more could you ask for? We would have no hesitation in recommending Caroline to either seasoned or first time cruisers for a full troublefree experience.

Both my wife and I are pleased to recommend Caroline to handle your holiday arrangements. She has gone beyond the call of duty by arranging our tickets for a cruise to be forwarded on to a holiday address, to save us travelling miles home. She matched prices of discounted cruise companies to ensure we recieved the best service and deals. Always keeps in touch with us and allows us to contact her at anytime even when we are away on a cruise.

Caroline I would like to thank you for all your help booking our latest cruise. We are very impressed by the speed and efficiency you have dealt not only with our booking but also with the several questions we came up with after completing our booking. If it was not for your help and advice I am sure we would have had a number of issues that may have spoilt our cruise. Also to make matters even better, you got us a better price than all the other agents and the cruise line were offering. We will certainly come back for our next cruise Thanks Chris & Pat Terrill

Caroline has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the cruise industry which she readily shares with her clients. She always answers the phone promptly, is a good listener and gives positive and sound advice. Over the years I have dealt with many travel agents and have experienced subtle but none the less pressure selling. Albeit they did not get our bookings. Indeed nothing is too much trouble for her; she is always prepared to go the extra mile. Her paperwork and organisational skills are most impressive. We always receive confirmation of our booking by return of post. In summary we feel Caroline is a brilliant Travel Counsellor who we recommend without reservation. She is a wonderful ambassador for the company.

Caroline Howden was recommended to us several years ago and has become our own friendly cruise specialist. Caroline intuitively knows our likes and dislikes and her attention to detail for trouble free cruising is second to none. Caroline is always able to ensure that the cabin and cabin position required on board ship is usually booked without any trouble and is able to offer very competitive pricing. Should we require any changes to any cruise booked these are dealt with effectively and very willingly. We have no hesitation in recommending her to seasoned cruisers or anyone booking their first cruise, we know she will make this procedure smooth, efficient and give the best advice possible at the time.
