It's Nice To Meet You
"Go, fly, roam, travel, voyage, explore, journey, discover, adventure.” Anon
Hello and welcome. I am Lisa, your personal Travel Counsellor, and I am delighted to have recently been announced as a Cruise Ambassador for Travel Counsellors. I live in Chesterfield with my husband and two children, and I specialise in creating beautifully tailored holidays, from unforgettable adventures and city breaks to luxury escapes for both leisure and corporate travellers.
As a Cruise Ambassador, my expertise lies in crafting completely tailor made itineraries that fit around you. Whether you would like to add a pre or post stay to your cruise, combine ocean and river cruising, include rail journeys, private tours or special celebrations on board, I will design a seamless, personalised journey from start to finish. Every element is carefully considered, from the right ship and cabin to the destinations, dining and experiences that best suit your tastes, interests and budget.
What truly sets my service apart is the level of care I offer. You will receive personal attention, out of hours support and exceptional value, along with a standard of service you simply will not find on the high street or through anonymous online booking sites. From your first enquiry to the moment you return home, I am here to take care of every detail including flights, hotels, car hire, private transfers, airport lounges, excursions, tours and, of course, your ideal cruise.
With access to award winning suppliers and trusted partners worldwide, I can arrange every type of holiday including long haul adventures, fly drives, safaris, cruises, all inclusive family getaways, luxury escapes, honeymoons and authentic cultural experiences. My aim is always the same: to give you complete peace of mind and a holiday that feels thoughtfully designed just for you.
For travel inspiration, updates and offers, you are very welcome to follow me on Facebook or Instagram. I would love to chat through your ideas and help bring your next trip to life at a time that suits you.
That is a little about me, and now I cannot wait to hear about where you would like to go next.

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.
