What’s Your Cruising Style?

  • 2 Luxury cruise ships

    Classic Boutique-Style Cruising

    A truly destination-immersive experience. Including, and going beyond the classic regions - Caribbean, Mediterranean, Baltic, and Northern Europe - these intimate, boutique ships unlock access to exclusive ports beyond the reach of larger vessels. This allows for a far more immersive experience, with premium docking locations right in the heart of iconic destinations, extended time ashore, and often late departures or overnight stays - so you can truly connect with each place rather than just pass through it.

  • luxury yacht ship

    Yacht-Style Cruising

    Cruise around the isolated archipelagos in the South Pacific, the lesser known Greek, Mediterranean, & Caribbean islands, into Kotor Bay, Sydney Harbour, or London City, through the Panama or Corinth canals. For more specialised cruising, explore the Polar regions, Australia’s Kimberley region, and more - All of these areas are unobtainable by larger ship.

  • Luxury tall ship

    Tall-Ship Cruising

    Step aboard a tall ship - where travel feels worlds away from the ordinary. Experience the spine-tingling moment the sails rise and the wind takes hold. These ships off a rare blend of authenticity, tradition, and intimate small-ship cruising. With fewer guests onboard for a relaxed, sociable, and unhurried atmosphere where you can be as involved, or as relaxed, as you like: watch, learn, or help hoist the sails. Exclusive access to smaller ports and closer-to-shore sailing beyond the reach of larger ships.

  • Luxury river cruise ship

    River Cruising

    While an ocean cruise takes you around the destination, a river cruise takes you straight through it. Think Germany, Hungary, Austria, Romania, Portugal, France, Italy and beyond. One day you’re immersed in the energy of a bustling capital city, the next you’re wandering cobbled streets in a storybook village. With prime docking locations, you simply step ashore and start exploring - no stress, no distance, just seamless discovery.

    And it doesn’t stop at Europe. For those craving something more adventurous, river cruising opens the door to Vietnam & Cambodia, the dramatic landscapes & animals of South Africa, the timeless wonders of Egypt, or the rich heritage of China and India. You can even venture into Colombia or deep into South America and the Peruvian Amazon - where every day brings something entirely new.

    Expedition-Style Cruising

    Have you exhausted many traditional cruising itineraries?
    Are you looking for exploration & discovery over cities & beaches, but still want the luxuries?
    This is where expedition cruising comes in.
    Offering the same standards as the ultra-luxury ships, but smaller & purpose-built to guide you into remote landing spots in regions that traditional ships cannot venture, but wave as they pass on by: The Polar Regions, the Galápagos Islands, Australia’s Kimberley Region, Alaska, and more.
    These explorer ships provide shore excursions by zodiac, hikes led by expert teams, wildlife encounters, and destination & cultural immersion.

    Cruise Line Partners

    Each of my preferred cruise lines has been handpicked for their individuality, and varying inclusions, ensuring there is something to suit a range of tastes and price points within the small-ship market.

    I’ve either personally been on the ships, so I know first-hand what it actually feels like to be on board - the atmosphere, the service, the little details that make all the difference, or I have covered extensive training through online seminars & modules. I also keep myself up to date with training, so my recommendations are always current and considered.

    Although I have a selection of suppliers I know, trust, and love working with, thanks to my personal experience of most cruise lines, I’m always happy to recommend and book across a wide selection of luxury small-ship and river cruise options, to find one that’s right for you.

Couples & First-Time Cruisers

What better way to travel the world than on boutique-style ships, or something smaller?
With a relaxed, intimate atmosphere & minimal hassle or queues, you can unwind in the ships spa, relax on deck, socialise over drinks, take-in a show, enjoy a romantic meal, basically do as much, or as little, as you wish. This is the time to slow down & reconnect.

Solo Travellers

On a cruise, you are never truly alone - Unless you choose to be. A smaller ship is easy to navigate and connect with others without navigating huge crowds.
A cruise offers freedom & flexibility, while also encouraging participation in welcome drinks & special events, all designed to get you to meet & mingle with other travellers.

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.

How about:

  • The Rocky Mountaineer in Canada before or after an Alaska cruise

  • A 3-day mini cruise in Halong Bay before or after a Mekong cruise

  • Tanzania safari and Victoria Falls before or after a South Africa cruise

  • Easter Island, Ushuaia and Iguazu Falls before or after an Antarctica cruise

Whatever journey you’ve been dreaming of, I can create an itinerary designed entirely around you. Ready to explore your options?

Your Personal Cruise Consultant

Always here with you

Hi, I’m Lorraine, a self-confessed cruise addict.

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?

With over 18 years dedicated to cruising and first-hand experience across more than 30 ships, I’ve been fortunate to experience a wide spectrum of what’s out there - and while I’ve enjoyed them all, I’ve chosen to specialise.

As my own travel style has evolved, so too has my focus. Today, I work exclusively with cruise lines I would personally choose - those that deliver exceptional value, quality, and a more intimate, destination-led experience, rather than mass-market cruising.

My amazing clients return to me year after year simply because they know who they’re speaking to - no call-centres, no phone menu options - just me - and I always give a no-fuss service.

Picture this: instead of spending hours on Google and AI trying to piece everything together, you simply hand it over to me.

I’ll take away the overwhelm, guide you through every decision, and create the perfect cruise holiday for you - so all that’s left is to feel excited and peacefully count down the days until you set sail.
