Mo Abiola, Cruise Expert at Paramount Cruises

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!

My Cruise Inspiration

Find out more about my cruising inspirations, favourite destinations and the dream voyages still on my travel bucket list.

The Union Buildings in Pretoria, South Africa

My Favourite Destination

My favourite destination has to be South Africa. The diversity of the landscape, the amazing food scene, and the warm summer weather make it a place I return to whenever I can. One of the best things I’ve ever done is a quad-bike ride through the herbivore enclosure at the Lion and Safari Park just outside Pretoria. It’s such a fun mix of adventure, wildlife, and “wow” scenery.

My Top Trending Cruise Line

My go-to cruise line is Virgin Voyages. I love the relaxed, adults-only atmosphere and the modern, boutique-style design that sets it apart. The food is honestly next level, the Chicken Pesto pizza deserves it's own award, and the overall dining experience easily rivals top restaurants on land. The only downside for me is that some ports sit a little further out, but it’s a compromise I’m more than happy to make. For me, Virgin Voyages delivers some of the best value in premium, adults-only cruising.

Streets of Tokyo

My Next Bucket List Destination

My top bucket-list destination is Tokyo. I’m drawn to the city’s captivating blend of old traditions with futuristic tech, neon lights, and amazing culture. There’s something undeniably magnetic about Tokyo, a real mystery to it that just draws me in, and I can’t wait to explore it one day.

Why Book Your Cruise With Me

I love cruising with my family, so I understand firsthand how to make the most of everything a ship has to offer. From fun family time to those quieter moments when the kids are happily in the clubs or tucked up for the night, it is all about balance. I enjoy helping families find cruises where everyone can have a brilliant holiday.
