Meet Your Personal Cruise Specialist
My passion: Planning your luxury cruise holiday
Hi, I’m Lorraine,
I have always loved travelling, starting as a young travel agent in 1991, selling everything from UK breaks to luxury hotels & Concorde, but I could see that cruises were just over the horizon.
I love cruising, without even knowing I would, becoming a cruise specialist before stepping foot on a ship. What other kind of holiday lets you explore multiple incredible destinations in luxury and comfort, all while only unpacking once?
As an independent specialist, I don’t answer to specific cruise lines; I answer only to you. I take the time to truly listen to your travel wishes, matching your unique preferences to the ideal ship, suite, and itinerary.
From your first inquiry until you return safely home, I manage every fine detail with a complimentary concierge service.
Let's take the stress out of planning and design your next extraordinary voyage together.
There’s only one thing left to do…
Luxury Hits Different
On A Smaller Ship
Everything feels more personal, more immersive, and far less crowded. Instead of thousands of passengers competing for space and attention, smaller ships create an atmosphere where service becomes intuitive, experiences feel exclusive, and every detail is thoughtfully curated. You can slip into hidden harbours larger ships simply can’t reach, linger longer in destinations, and enjoy a pace of travel that feels refined rather than rushed.
It all starts with me
Because luxury travel should feel personal…
…From the very first conversation. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all holidays or generic itineraries, I don’t take my recommendations from Google or AI, because I have lived them. I take the time to understand how you love to travel, what inspires you, and the kind of experiences you’ll still be talking about years from now.
What’s Your Cruising Style?
-
Traditional Boutique-Style Cruising
You don’t have to go high-end to enjoy smaller ships. Carrying between 670 and 1,390 guests, these premium cruise lines offer the perfect balance between larger ships and the ultra-luxury, by offering a relaxed, destination-focused experience.
Slip into intimate harbours that larger ships simply cannot reach. -
Yacht-Style Cruising
On yachts accommodating between 100 & 350 passengers, for a more refined & intimate experience. These cruises offer a strong focus on immersive, destination-led travel, itineraries are carefully curated to include both iconic and lesser-visited ports, often with extended time ashore.
-
Tall-Ship Cruising
The tall-ships accommodate between 148 & 342 passengers. Step aboard, where travel feels worlds away from the ordinary. Experience the spine-tingling moment the sails rise and the wind takes hold.
-
Deluxe River Cruising
A river cruise ship accommodates, on average, 150 passengers in Europe, and far less in exotic destinations. While an ocean cruise takes you around the destination, a luxury river cruise takes you straight through it.
Unpack just once to journey through the historic heart of Europe or further afield, docking steps away from iconic landmarks and local vineyards. -
All-Inclusive Ultra-Luxury Cruising
Going all-in on the ultra-luxury, without compromise, these ships accommodate between 388 & 800 passengers, with standard-setting elegance, completely all-inclusive fine dining, intuitive butler service, and uncrowded ships designed for pure relaxation.
-
Expedition & Adventure -Style Cruising
An expedition ship accommodates between 100 & 274 passengers, which allows for a more inclusive & flexible experience, with access to remote destinations larger ships simply cannot reach.
Journey to the ends of the earth; from Antarctica to the Galápagos, guided by world-class naturalists without sacrificing 5-star comfort.
Dive Deeper Into The Destinations
Extend your cruise holiday
Imagine your holiday beginning before you even step on board, or continuing long after you disembark - the kind of journey you never want to end.
When you’re travelling so far, it makes sense to make the most of every moment. By adding a land extension or stopover to your cruise holiday, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: unforgettable experiences on land, paired with the luxury of life at sea (or river).
How about:
Creating an ultimate rail & sail holiday? Cruise & luxury rail journeys through Europe, India, & Alaska/Canada.
Making sure to spend time in your embarkation or debarkation city by staying an extra couple of days.
Exploring beyond the cruise on a luxury cruise-tour holiday, with hotels, transfers & excursions all included.
Indulging in your passions & love of travel with friends & loved ones.
Whatever journey you’ve been dreaming of, I can create an itinerary designed entirely around you. Ready to explore your options?
"If you are looking for ultra-luxury without the stuffiness, Hapag-Lloyd is unmatched. Their small, five-star ships offer the highest space-per-passenger ratio at sea, paired with exceptional fine dining and immersive itineraries." — Lorraine
Maximum 500 passengers & 230 on expedition ships
Large pool suitable for swimming lengths with retractable roof
All-veranda staterooms with the lead-in being 376 sq ft & large suites
Laid-back atmosphere & light, airy decor. Very spacious with wide corridors, I felt like I was in a luxury hotel rather than on a ship
Onboard zodiacs for exploring private beaches & inlets
Onboard e-bikes for touring
No two itineraries are the same, if you do a back-to-back cruise, there will be no repeat ports.
Ocean Cruise Line Of The Month - June

"Scenic completely redefines 'all-inclusive'. From your private butler and complimentary shore excursions, including their famous e-bikes, to a stocked in-suite mini-bar, you will never have to lift a finger or look at a bill." — Lorraine
The crew were young & fun, but also professional and attentive
The vibe is casual & laid-back with a contemporary design
All inclusive; all your wines, spirits, cocktails and soft drinks, shore excursions & private events
Large staterooms & suites with lead-in windows. I would always recommend a veranda which is open or closed to the elements
Onboard e-bikes for touring
Salt-therapy lounge, spa treatments, small pool, and gym
The food was phenomenal at every meal, with a special seven-course meal one night during your cruise
