So this is our last night in Florida. Whilst it’s not been the trip we planned - had to cancel our cruise so didn’t get to Fort Lauderdale. Miami, Bahamas, Sarasota or Clearwater (thanks to a chest infection and Covid for me) - we have managed to chill out and have an amazing time.

Even a Travel Counsellor needs a Travel Counsellor so huge thanks to Louise Hunt for taking the reins whilst I wax poorly and thanks Lynne Jordan for holding the fort.

Somehow Hamish Graham managed to avoid any kind of bug and has been bouncing around like Tigger for the last 4 weeks! What a difference it’s made to his energy levels now he’s not on chemo.

I think I’ve slept more the last month than I have in the last year - which is probably just what I needed!

The last 3 years have been a challenge but am so proud of all Hamish has achieved, endured and inspired.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words, support and help to get through it all.

Here’s to getting back to ‘normal’ in 2024!

If you think you know cruising...then think again! Virgin voyages are adult only cruises unlike anything else! Where superyacht design and your dream destinations meet. Welcome to how Virgin does cruise ships.

I always think Virgin Voyages are aimed at those who think there's not a cruise for them! These cruises have the unique Virgin take on travel. Adult only cruises....with a tattoo parlour?

Perfect for groups, solo travellers or couples....but not every group, solo traveller or couple!

I will be setting sail on Valiant lady next month to bring you first-hand feedback on everything.

In the meantime, here's an idea of what's on offer - but only if you book by 30th June 23.

For solo travellers - or those that don't want to share their space:

For a limited time, pay no single supplements when you sail from Europe, and get $600 in free drinks to make your voyage extra special.

All Resilient Lady voyages between May 28th and October 15th plus all Valiant Lady voyages between May 28th and October 22nd are eligible for this offer.

All voyages include 20+ eateries, fitness classes, tips, WiFi, and essential drinks. Eligible cabins categories are XL Sea Terrace cabins and below.

For example hop on the fabulous Valiant Lady from Barcelona on 22nd October in a sea view cabin from £1340...and a whole cabin to yourself...and $600 bat tab!

Of course, you can always bring a friend or partner and share a cabin and I'm happy to tailor-make an itinerary for you.

If you want more details, get in touch before 30th June :)

Virgin Voyages took the search for the perfect ships all the way to Italy. See what makes our luxury cruise ships different from the rest.

Contact me for full details - but be quick!

Late cancellations - when they've gone, they've gone!

We have 3 rooms left on our solo luxury, all inclusive Caribbean small group trip.

Who do you know who needs to spend a week in paradise, doing exactly what they want. Great food, amazing drinks, daily spa treatment, their own fabulous room - and no single supplement?

This is a truly life-changing opportunity to reconnect with yourself surrounded by like-minded travellers without compromising on quality or paying over the odds to have a room all to yourself.

There will always be a friendly face with the group but you are truly free to do as much - or as little - as YOU want.

Don't be fooled by the perfect image below...I am currently working on images using our own group of men and women and I'm sure they won't mind me saying that none of us look like this!

Just pack your bag and join us as I take care of everything from start to finish.

Prices from £3800 all inclusive for 7 nights 10-17th September including flights from Gatwick and your own fabulous superior garden room.
