Personally crafted holidays with award‑winning expertise and real human care.
Hi, I am Jackie and I live on the Wirral with my husband and our two children.
I have been in the travel industry since 2001, so for over 25 years I have been helping people turn holiday ideas into real adventures. I started out working on cruise ships and in Mediterranean hotels, then spent 18 years in high street agencies, and I am proud to be an award‑winning travel agent.
Travel has always been at the heart of my life, and I love turning all that experience into holidays that feel truly special and personal. I genuinely share in the excitement of your trip and take as much joy in planning it as you do in experiencing it.
Over the years I have been lucky enough to visit some amazing places, including Canada, Italy, Greece, Singapore, Egypt and the Caribbean. I am also very fortunate to have experienced many ocean cruises with lines such as Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line, Princess, Fred. Olsen and P&O, to name just a few. The USA is a real favourite of mine too, especially San Francisco, Las Vegas, Yosemite National Park, Napa Valley, Los Angeles and Florida.
Many of my customers come back to me year after year because of the personal service, genuine care and attention to detail I provide. When you book with me, you are not dealing with call centres or chatbots: you have a real person who knows you and is with you every step of the way.
I know how easy it is to lose hours online searching for the “right” holiday. Let me take that stress away. I will do the hard work for you, using my experience and trusted suppliers to find a holiday that fits you perfectly.
As a home‑based Travel Counsellor I can work around your life, offering evening and weekend appointments when needed. We can chat on the phone, by video call or meet in person. It is your holiday, so we will plan it your way.
With Travel Counsellors you also have complete peace of mind with 100% financial protection and 24/7 support while you are away.
If you would like friendly, expert help with your next holiday, I would love to hear from you. No enquiry is too big or too small.

Fred Olsen might not be the first cruise line you'd think of for a young family.
Small‑ship cruising might not be the obvious choice for a fun family holiday, but our first experience with Fred. Olsen completely won us over. Sailing from Liverpool for five nights, we swapped airport queues for a 20‑minute drive, a smooth embarkation and a drink in hand before we knew it. From surprisingly kid‑friendly pools and relaxed deck games to classic afternoon tea in a beautiful suite a

Legend Of The Seas: My First Look At Europe’s First Icon Class Ship
In June 2026 I was lucky enough to be invited on the preview sailing of Legend Of The Seas, before she welcomed her first guests. I have sailed with Royal Caribbean before, but this ship is on another level. As the first Icon Class ship to sail in Europe, she feels bold, exciting and absolutely packed with things to see, do and eat. I could talk about her for hours, but here are my favourite takea

Over two unforgettable weeks we road‑tripped from Calgary through the Canadian Rockies to the surf town of Tofino and the vibrant streets of Vancouver, staying in cosy cabins, lakeside inns, mountain suites and beachfront huts along the way. Our days were fill

Falling in love with Disney Cruise Line: My Magical Time on Disney Fantasy
As a big Disney fan, 2025 was always going to be a special year for me. I had the chance to sail on Disney Fantasy not once, but twice: first on my own, then again with my family by my side. After those two sailings, I can honestly say it has become my favourite cruise so far. There are lots of reasons why, but it all comes back to one thing: the magic really is everywhere.

Back in April 2022, we set sail on the stunning P&O Iona over the Easter holidays, and it was honestly a trip we’ll never forget. Why the
