Who are we?

I’ve always had a passion for travel and exploration. I love discovering new cultures, tasting local cuisines, and sampling the best beers from around the world. Whether it’s a busy city or a remote destination, I thrive on the adventure. When I’m not travelling, you’ll find me on the football field, firing up the BBQ, or spending quality time with my family. For me, it’s all about creating unforgettable memories wherever I am.

I’m all about modern cruising with a touch of luxury. I love the kind of travel that mixes great service with stylish experiences. Whether it’s a five-star cruise or a top-tier resort. One of my favourite trips was with Virgin Voyages, staying in one of their Rockstar Suites. Having access to Richard’s Rooftop, the in-room mini bar, and all the amazing food onboard really took the experience to the next level. I’m here to help others find those kinds of unforgettable moments where everything feels just right.

Just because I’m on holiday doesn’t mean I forget my fitness goals, you’ll usually find me making full use of the gym facilities onboard. Staying active is a big part of who I am. I’m also a self-proclaimed whisky connoisseur and always on the lookout for the best selection at sea. If there’s a ship with a standout whisky bar, chances are I’ve already been there... and have a favourite bottle to recommend!

I’ve been helping people plan unforgettable cruise holidays for longer than I can remember, and I still love every minute of it. If there’s something I don’t know about cruising, it’s probably not worth knowing! From classic luxury with Cunard to the modern, culinary flair of Virgin Voyages, I’ve experienced it all. I’m always happy to share my knowledge and help find the perfect cruise for every traveller.

I must’ve been a pirate in a past life, not just because of the beard, but because I spend as much time at sea as I can. I’ve sailed on nearly 50 different ships, and with new ones launching every year, my love for cruising is only growing. There’s nothing quite like being out on the open water, exploring new ships and destinations. For me, cruising isn’t just a holiday, it’s a way of life.

Spending a few years working onboard various Royal Caribbean ships, I know life at sea inside out-from ports, and dining experiences, to embarkation tips, and how to make the most of every sea day - as well a slight American accent! I am passionate about cruises that offer rich cultural ports and action-packed ships full of things to see, taste, and experience. My most recent sailing was on the renovated Allure of the Seas, joined by my 1-year-old on his very first cruise, a trip filled with unforgettable memories, discovering the new features of this stunning ship (and maybe a few sprinting toddler moments).

I’m all about cruises that pack in the ports and give you time to really experience each destination. There’s nothing better than waking up somewhere new, diving into the culture, and making the most of every stop. My most recent adventure took me from Barbados to Panama on the stunning Explora Journeys, with an unforgettable transit through the Panama Canal. Seriously, put this one on your bucket list. I love sharing tips, stories, and ideas to help fellow cruisers get the most out of their time at sea.

I love the sunshine and making memories in places I’ve never been, I’ve now visited 33 countries and still counting! My favourite cruise buddy has to be my mum, you can't beat a cruise holiday with the family. Our most recent adventure was an 11-night cruise around the Caribbean on Norwegian Jewel over Christmas and New Year. We ticked off six new destinations, soaked up the tropical sun, and had the most festive Christmas we’ve had in years. Honestly, the islands were more decorated than back home! And yes, kids, Santa does deliver, even when you’re out at sea.

For me, cruising is the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. My most recent trip was on Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady, sailing through the Med from sunny Barcelona.  Visiting a new port each day and experiencing the distinct charm of each place felt like a dream, especially with my camera in hand. I’m always chasing that perfect view, whether it’s a quiet sunrise over the sea or a colourful old town tucked along the coast. Onboard, I love soaking up the atmosphere, enjoying great food, and just embracing that carefree feeling you only get at sea.

The thrill of adventure and discovering new places is what draws me to travel. Although I may also be found soaking up the sun on a beach and dabbling in the drinks package. My most recent cruise adventure took me to the colourful houses of Cobh, Cork. An overnight stay in port gave the feeling of a weekend getaway, offering plenty of time to explore. The extra time allowed me to fully immerse myself in the culture and lifestyle, and even venture beyond the port without worrying about missing the ship! Be sure to keep an eye out for overnight itineraries, they’re truly a game changer.

Since I spend most of my days putting together the Paramount Packages I'm constantly researching new destinations to add to my travel bucket-list. If your budget allows make sure to add a few days before and after your cruise, even if it is a city you've visited before, there are always a host of new restaurants to try or new attractions to experience. For my last cruise on Utopia of the Seas from Port Canaveral, I spent a few days pre-cruise in Miami as well as some time in New Smyrna Beach post-cruise, soaking up the Florida sun and enjoying the laid-back beach vibes.

When I want a relaxing holiday but still want to see different places, cruising is my top choice. It gives me the resort feel while letting me visit multiple cities, without the stress of packing and moving around every day. My last cruise was aboard Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady in the Mediterranean, with beautiful coastal cities and sunny skies. The food and shows onboard really elevated the experience. Cruises are always an easy and stress-free way to travel, especially with our all-inclusive Paramount packages. Bon Voyage!

I’m cruise-obsessed, it’s hands down my favourite way to travel. There’s something magical about waking up in a new destination, especially ones you may never visit on a land-based holiday. The food onboard is always incredible, and the service truly goes above and beyond. My most unforgettable cruise experience was sailing down the Mekong River with AmaWaterways. Every stop along the way gave us the chance to get stuck into the culture of Cambodia and Vietnam. Our local guides shared the most amazing stories and little details you’d never hear otherwise. We got to visit people in their homes, chat with them, and get a real feel for what life’s like there. It honestly felt like such a once-in-a-lifetime experience, one of those trips you never forget.

What I love most about cruising is the sense of adventure and flexibility it brings, especially itineraries that include late-night or overnight stays, allowing you to truly immerse yourself in each destination. One of my most memorable journeys was sailing from Athens to Istanbul aboard the stunning Celebrity Silhouette, with unforgettable stops in Mykonos and Santorini. I love sharing great deals and helpful tips to inspire cruisers and guide them towards their next adventure.
