It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, my name is Caroline Jenkins and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Essex.
I love travel with a passion and love arranging travel, as I'm home based and not tied to any particular supplier I have the freedom to find the perfect holiday to suit you. I think it's important to talk to my clients first and get to know their likes & dislikes before throwing pointless options at them just to make a sale.
With 30 years’ experience in the luxury cruise industry, working for the first cruise only specialist in the UK, I have an extensive knowledge of the market and have cruised extensively over the years. I regularly attend ship visits to check out new ships entering the market which I can feed back to my clients. I'm also an accredited Cruise Master - CLIA's highest accolade (Cruise Line International Association), the world's largest cruise industry trade association.
I'm not limited to cruise and arrange all types of holidays from city breaks, long haul, honeymoons, staycations, sports events, groups, business trips and much more (just ask I can probably do it!).
When booking a holiday I take it personally. Your booking will always stay with me and I’m available 24/7 when you’re travelling should you need me and at hours to suit you should you wish to discuss your holiday options.
Cutting edge technology means that I have access to over 350 suppliers; from those that are well known to those that are not available on the high street which means I can tailor-make your holiday at a competitive price.
Your money will always be safe when you book with me, your holiday will be 100% financially protected against supplier failure by either ATOL or the Travel Counsellors trust.
Thank you for visiting my website. If you would like to discuss booking your next holiday please feel free to give me a call.

Winter in Whistler
Skiing is not for me, I have tried but I don’t think I’ll ever try again! Yes, I’m disappointed in myself, yes I feel I’m missing out but I actually think I’m a danger to others on the slopes and that is just not fair! I’ve had a lesson at home in an indoor centre that wasn’t actually too bad, I only took the instructor out once... I was told not to worry it’s much easier on real snow…..I l

Barbados Trip
I'd never been to Barbados so when I got the opportunity to be hosted by Elegant Hotels I was delighted, and what a time to visit when they are celebrating their 50th year of independence! Elegant Hotels have six properties located on the west and south coasts all unique in their offering. I stayed at two of their all-inclusive properties, first being Turtle Beach situated in the South on a 1,

Family Skiing in Les Gets
I can't claim to be sporty...at all, so when a skiing trip was suggested for February half term I just couldn't get excited even after being told I would love it...Hmmmm. But love it I did! Ok maybe I wasn't over excited about the skiing part but I did give it a go and although I've got a long way to go there is hope for me yet. I'll never forget this, my first ski trip in the village ski r

Norwegian fjords & Iceland on Royal Caribbean
I’ve always wanted to visit the Norwegian Fjords and when I found a 12 night cruise departing from Harwich in the summer holidays I didn’t hang around to book! Travelling as a family with an 11 year old, keeping him busy was top of my list. I knew Royal Caribbean wouldn’t let me down and departing from the UK meant I could take as much luggage as I wanted! Brilliance of the Seas ticked every bo

The wonders of Vietnam on Silversea
It was with much excitement that I boarded BA with my husband, bound for Hong Kong to embark on a journey through Vietnam on Silver Shadow where I would also celebrate my Birthday. Having never been to Asia I was intent on making the most of my trip with a pre-cruise stay in Hong Kong at The Langham which is very close to the cruise port and easy to navigate around the sights, we managed a trip on
