My First Cruise Experience with Explora – and it Exceeded All Expectations 🛳️ 🩵

This family-owned brand is redefining luxury at sea, and from the moment I stepped on board, it felt more like a boutique luxury hotel than a traditional cruise. With a smaller capacity, there’s an incredible sense of space and calm, making it feel exclusive yet welcoming.

Some highlights from my stay:
✨ Unparalleled service – every detail is thoughtfully taken care of
🍽 Six incredible restaurants - offering world-class dining in intimate settings
🌊 Expansive outdoor spaces – no overcrowding, just pure relaxation
🏨 A home away from home – elegant, modern suites designed for ultimate comfort
🌍 Immersive itineraries that take you to some of the world’s most beautiful destinations

Explora has redefined what cruising can be, offering a journey that’s as much about the experience on board as it is about the destinations themselves. If you’ve ever been unsure about cruising, this might just change your mind.

I recently had the privilege of planning an incredible two-week anniversary trip for my lovely clients, and I was so happy to hear back "What a FABULOUS time we've had... literally the best holiday we have ever been on so THANK YOU!" 🩵

From luxury stays in St. Peter’s Bay, Barbados, where they soaked up the local charm of Speightstown, to the shores of Bequia, every detail was carefully planned to make this a seamless and special experience for such an important milestone!

Here’s what they had to say:

- "The flight to Bequia was such an experience... we loved it! The concierge meet and greet was great too. And the catamaran trip is a must."

- "Bequia was our favourite... we loved how small it was, and every taxi ride was a set fare in an open-top car, which we loved."

- "The hotel itself was amazing, and we loved having our two-bed pool villa. I'm a swimmer, and they had a 20m pool where I could do some damage control in a gorgeous setting!"

With carefully chosen hotels, seamless internal flights, and personalised recommendations, their holiday was fully bespoke down to each finer detail.

I love hearing how these tailored trips come together – and how much they mean to my clients. If you're looking to get away & celebrate an important milestone in your life, allow me to take the lead and make it a trip to remember 🤍

MY STAY AT THE KIMPTON AYSLA: OVERVIEW 🩵

This property was a great contrast from the Son Bunyola – cool, contemporary, and chic. The property features a stunning spa, a spacious indoor and outdoor pool, and is right next to a golf course. With a well-equipped gym, it’s perfect whether you want to stay active or simply unwind.

The rooms are beautifully designed with a sleek, modern touch, creating a light and airy vibe throughout. Dining at Saba was a standout experience, blending Japanese tapas with Spanish influences for a fresh, unique take on traditional flavours.

MY STAY AT SON BUNYOLA: OVERVIEW 🩵⁠

It’s easy to see why Sir Richard Branson fell in love with this estate 25 years ago! Set on a UNESCO World Heritage site, Son Bunyola offers breathtaking views and a sense of charm that feels timeless. Each suite here is unique, tastefully decorated to reflect the character of the estate, with that perfect blend of high-end design and historic charm.⁠

I recently spent a fantastic day at the Corinthia London with Carrier, diving into the latest trends in the luxury travel market and connecting with some incredible names in the industry. ⁠
⁠
It was fascinating to hear how cruising is the fastest-growing sector in travel right now, and I loved learning more from the likes of Explora, Regent, and Oceania about what each ship has to offer for luxury cruising. ⁠
⁠
We also explored key topics like sustainability and conservation in Africa – such valuable insights to bring back to my clients. Events like this are such a great way to build relationships and ensure I’m always offering the best, most up-to-date experiences for you all - there is always space to learn and grow 🩵⁠
