Hi, I’m Patrick, I work closely with our team to help shape the Paramount Cruises experience and make every holiday feel special from start to finish. I also collaborate with our destination partners to ensure every element of your trip is seamless and memorable. From the first enquiry to the moment you return home, I’m here to help make sure your holiday experience is nothing short of amazing.
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.
More About Me
My Favourite Destination
One of the most breath taking destinations I've ever explored has to be New Zealand. It offers a remarkable blend of dramatic landscapes that feel almost almost otherworldly, from soaring snow-tipped peaks and crystal-clear lakes to rolling green hills and geothermal wonders. Nowhere captures the country’s raw beauty quite like Milford Sound, where towering cliffs and cascading waterfalls create one of the most spectacular natural scenes on the planet. Across both islands, you’ll find pristine beaches, lush rainforests, and countless hiking trails that reveal new scenery at every turn. Add in the warm, welcoming locals and a deep respect for nature, and it’s impossible not to fall in love with this extraordinary corner of the world.
My Top Trending Cruise Line
If there’s one cruise line that has truly impressed me, it’s Explora Journeys. Their ships feel more like boutique floating resorts than traditional cruise vessels, with an emphasis on space, tranquillity, and modern European elegance. What really stands out is the focus on relaxed luxury, from beautifully designed suites and outstanding dining options to curated experiences that let you explore destinations in a deeper, more mindful way. The service onboard is exceptional without ever feeling stuffy, and the atmosphere is perfect for anyone who enjoys refined travel with a contemporary edge. It’s a refreshing take on ocean cruising, and one that’s easy to fall in love with.
My Next Bucket List Destination
On my bucket-list is Antarctica. I’m fascinated by the idea of taking an expedition cruise to the most remote and untouched continent on Earth. I'd love to see towering icebergs, vast white landscapes, and penguin colonies in their natural habitat. It’s a true once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and if any cruise line sees this, I already have my thermals packed and ready to go!
