Ponant Cruises - Southern Australia
So you need to get away for a spot of shopping and bit of r&r. Then why not consider Singapore where my client N.T. has just sent me pictures of her adventures doing everything from big game shopping to wrestling a Singapore Sling. For a travel agent that understands that not all itineraries are the same why not give me a call. #yourtravelexpert #shouldhavecalledcraig

Budapest is one of the major European river cruise cities. In fact it is used as either a start point for cruises to Amsterdam, Bucharest and down to the Black Sea.
If have wondered about doing a river cruise but feel that it might not be quite for you. Then let me suggest Tauck. As premium tour operator Tauck operate a series of river cruises, that offer a fully inclusive product. Ships are same size as thier major competitors, but with smaller passenger numbers this means that you have larger cabins, less crowded public areas and very attentive service.
For full details on all the Tauck river cruise products please private message me for full details.

Do you love to explore new places? Getting off the tourist trail? Enjoying new experiences? Well so do I, and I love to help my clients experience new adventures.
I love it when my clients send me pictures. But I have to admit I get seriously jealous when they are eating their way around southern France.
Spent the afternoon exploring the Viking Orion this amazing cruise ship is currently on her maiden round the world cruise and is really the ultimate in Nordic design and luxury. With no children, no casino and longer time in ports and an inclusive policy this is the perfect cruise. If you feel like this could be a cruise for you just give me a call.
The pictures are all my personal ones taken on my phone - no professional shots. #knowmystuff #shouldhavecalledcraig

Ireland By Luxury Train - Grand Hibernian by Belmond
In early 2015, Belmond purchased 10 carriages and a locomotive and set out to create an entirely unique adventure. After finessing the mechanical engineering, the carriages were taken to Brodie’s in Kilmarnock, Scotland, to be painted a signature midnight blue with silver livery.
Back across the Irish Sea in County Antrim, a team of 40 skilled craftsmen undertook 35,000 hours of work to make the interiors. Reflecting the rich Georgian architecture of Dublin, all furnishings were locally sourced. Hand-crafted stone counters are from Dublin, while wool-blend carpets are from Ulster. Our symbol of the Celtic knot can be found in all the small details, and each carriage features the tartan of its namesake county.
Exuding a warm Irish ambience, the train’s beautiful cabins mix modern luxury with traditional Georgian design. Inside, 16 twin and four double en suite cabins provide a suitably indulgent repose after the day’s outdoor adventures. Lose yourself in emerald vistas that glide past your window. Or recline on Irish duck down bedding for a peaceful night’s sleep.
Storybook castles, vibrant cities, beautiful national parks… Lose yourself to the never-ending charms of Ireland aboard Belmond Grand Hibernian.
From the moment you step aboard to the final farewell dinner, every moment with us promises memories to cherish. Expert local guides will uncover hidden gems and rarely known secrets on each excursion. Sumptuous, Georgian-inspired accommodation and world-class cuisine ensure your time aboard the train is just as magical.
