How often do you get the chance to stand just 800 miles from the North Pole and call it "work"?
Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to attend the CLIA Expedition Showcase in Svalbard, deep inside the Arctic Circle. Surrounded by glaciers, mountains and breathtaking scenery, it was the perfect place to learn more about one of the fastest-growing sectors of the cruise industry

Windstar Wonders on the Windsurf
I recently travelled with Windstar Cruises on the Windsurf – and if you’re picturing a small ship with actual sails, you’d be absolutely right… and it’s just as magical as it sounds. There’s something really special about sailing this way. One of my favourite moments? Sitting in the hot tub, cocktail in hand, listening to Pirates of the Caribbean music as the sails were raised. Honestly, it felt

The Seychelles Islands - Another World
What an amazing trip – Just got back from the Seychelles (in the Indian Ocean). The flight wasn’t too bad – I watched 3 films and we were there! Just 9 hours 30 mins from Heathrow with BA. We were met at the airport by our ground handlers and transferred to the Constance Ephelia. A lovely welcome with cold towels and a little cocktail. I was there in March and the weather was very hot and humid.

Wonders of Asia - Sri Lanka
II’ve just come home from a great trip to Sri Lanka with Kuoni Holidays. We travelled with Sri Lanka Airlines in economy. The service was good with curry for both meals. Seats were OK for economy and you get a good 30kgs luggage allowance! The ground handler Boulsted Whittam Travel met us, and our guide Tikka was very knowledgeable. He was called tikipedia by the end of the trip! We transfe

Canada the Rocky Mountaineer and Fairmont hotels
I was so excited when I got offered this trip – it's one thing that I have always wanted to do. We flew from Heathrow to Vancouver and stayed a couple of nights at the Fairmont hotel Vancouver.

Amazing Argentina
Andrew and I flew with Latam airlines. We pre-booked extra leg room seats for the international flights – approx. £75 pp each way – well worth doing! We stopped in Buenos Aires for 3 nights. This is the birthplace of the Tango and we were lucky enough to watch a show one night whilst there. Goodness knows how they move their legs so quickly! We also had a visit to Ricoletta cemetery – where Ev

Barbados and Antigua
We wanted to go to the Caribbean but not stay on one island – so we decided to go to Barbados and Antigua as a 2 centre – and we also wanted somewhere with no children. We flew with British Midland from Manchester in premium class. This was great with extra leg room and upgrade meals – I loved it! We were met at the airport by our taxi driver and taken to the Almond Beach Club, an adults-o

Californian Road Trip
TThe SkyCouch on Air New Zealand was the best invention ever! Three seats that turned into a bed in economy, oh my god this was an amazing idea! Worth every penny! The cuddle strap that allows you to sleep on a made up bed with fluffy pillows and light duvet and not have to sit up through turbulence! Car hire companies are not at the airport and require a courtesy coach which can take up to 40

Mini Cruise on the Azura
I've just come back off the Azura with a few friends. It was an easy embarkation in Southampton onto the Azura. We ate in the main restaurant (Peninsula) both nights and the food was very good! I'm a rose drinker - only £3.65 per glass - not bad! Plenty of sunbeds on different decks - we were in the adults only area at the front of the ship - near the retreat( spa area) which is a bit qui
