I've had the pleasure to take a walk about and inspect some ships that were in port so that I am better informed of what it would be like for you to cruise on.
Regent Seven Seas Explorer if a beautiful ship for the all inclusive luxury experience. Take a look at some of the images I captured as we walked through.

Another lovely new ship in our ports was the Norwegian Cruise Lines - Spirit. Here are some images for you to enjoy. I'd love to chat with you and give more detail on these, so do reach out.
Kept busy
I have been very fortunate with some of the connections and collaborations I have the pleasure to be able to work with in our industry.
As a Cruise Master with CLIA (Cruise Lines International Association), I am constantly learning and upskilling. Always helps when appreciation comes in the form of some goodies put together by various Cruise lines, that I can then share with my clients and in promos.

After my fabulous experience of the NT (Northern Territories, Australia, I had the pleasure to be serenaded by the @Hot Potato Band at the Melbourne Cup festivities by the Australian High Commission. my trip to the NT
I've also spent a big chunk of the year with a Business Mentor who has helped me with looking inward at my business and how I can make changes and additions to be able to grow in to more profitability. This would not have been possible without TIME (Travel Industry Mentoring Experience) and my sponsor Expedia TAAP. The experience to work with a stalwart of the industry has certainly helped me with a renewed sense of awe of the industry I work in.
It was a tad daunting to stand in front of a room of keen travellers and present options of travel to them in my Land, River & Sea presentation I hosted with the help of fellow industry colleagues.
Wearing a different hat, I am a proud Rotarian and love the opportunities that present to me for giving back to the communities around us. I've had the pleasure to host some of our meetings as the President in the last Rotary Year. With having been very busy with my travel business, I was fortunate to have a team of dedicated Rotarians to help out.
Finally, all of this would be of no use if I didnt have YOU ... my clients and prospective clients to do all of this for. I have had a wonderful year of working on some amazing itineraries of cllients travelling to the USA, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and so many of you on cruises in exotic and far flung seas, rivers. Thank you very much.
for 2024 --- I would like to wish you all a very Happy and Healthy year ahead. May the year be filled with lots of travel for you, which I would be honoured to be able to assist with :-)
HAPPY NEW YEAR !
