It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, I’m Vikki, your personal Travel Counsellor.
I am based near Pershore, Worcestershire, on the edge of the beautiful Cotswolds, where I live with my number one travel companion, my husband Luke, and our new puppy Millie, my little travel planning assistant!
Travel has always been a huge part of our lives. We love discovering new places and experiencing all they have to offer. In recent years we have been bitten by the cruise bug and are totally obsessed with it! It is an amazing experience to have an evening of delicious food and wonderful entertainment and then wake up in a new destination the next morning to explore and learn.
I specialise in working with people who value a personal, one-to-one service from our very first conversation until you return home. I will start by getting to know who is travelling and what is important to you: your interests, your must haves and your wish list. From there, I will design a trip that feels effortlessly “you”, whether that is:
• A short weekend getaway to recharge
• A bespoke multi stop itinerary packed with memorable experiences
• Or, my favourite, your dream cruise holiday
When you book with me at Travel Counsellors, you benefit from complete financial protection, 24/7 support and real-time updates on your travel plans via your personalised app, all backed by a trusted, independent travel company.
I genuinely love seeing the amazing priceless memories I help create for my customers, and it would be a pleasure to do the same for you. If you, or anyone you know, would like a stress free, tailor made travel experience, I am here to help you every step of the way, please feel free to share my details.

Then a special celebration came along, we decided to be brave, and everything changed. In this blog I share how we went from cruise sceptics to completely hooked after a two‑week sailing in the Mediterranean and why I now believe there is a cruise line to suit a
