Luxury holidays, cruises & family travels, tailored perfectly to you
Hi, I’m Claire, your personal Travel Counsellor, and I am so excited to help you plan your next adventure and bring your travel dreams to life.
My background is firmly rooted in the travel industry. I have worked in both the cruise sector and wider travel industry, including the incredible experience of working onboard Cunard as Captain’s Secretary.
Now, as a Travel Counsellor, I blend my expertise with a passion for designing seamless, memorable trips for my customers.
What I love most about my job is getting to know you. I take the time to understand what makes a holiday special for you: the little details, your “must haves”, your “absolutely nots”, and the memories you want to create. I also love sharing travel inspiration and practical tips, so you feel excited, informed and confident at every stage of your journey.
There is nothing better than hearing your stories and seeing your photos when you return, knowing I have played a small part in those moments.
I design tailor-made travel from dream to destination, creating holidays that feel personal, effortless and unforgettable. Whether you are looking for a relaxing escape in a beautiful five-star resort, a memorable family getaway, a sophisticated sailing, or a quick city break to recharge and explore, I will tailor everything to you.
When you book with me, your holiday is never just a transaction or a quick click online. I will take the time to get to know you properly so I can find your perfect personalised trip, and you will have the reassurance of 24/7 support and 100% financial protection for complete peace of mind.
If you are ready to start planning your next trip, or even if you just have the beginnings of an idea, I would love to chat.
Please get in touch and we can start planning your next adventure x

Why use a Travel Counsellor
Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
I believe your time away should be stress-free, easy, and seamless from start to finish. So, I take care of all the details for you - from ATOL protection, insurance, and flexible payments to access to the myTC app, which keeps everything in one place.
Support when it matters most
If the unexpected happens, you can rest easy, knowing that I’ll handle any last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or disruptions before you even pick up the phone. So you always feel happy, carefree, and ready to make the most of every moment.
