If you are celebrating New Year’s Eve on land, why not start the year at sea?

From 11 January to 20 January 2027, depart on a roundtrip from Miami, United States, exploring the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

Planning your holiday early comes with real advantages, and even more so when sailing with Explora Journeys. Let me show you why this is the ideal way to start your year.

Today, I really just want to say THANK YOU. ❤️

It’s National Travel Agent Day, and while today is about celebrating us travel agents, I’d rather use it to celebrate all the people who help me do what I do.

My travel business has grown year on year — something I’m incredibly proud of — but I certainly haven’t done it alone.

So, this one’s for…

❤️ My wonderful customers — every booking, repeat booking, recommendation and introduction to friends and family has helped my business grow. Thank you for trusting me with your precious holidays.

🤝 My supplier partners — for your knowledge, support and for helping me create some incredible trips for my customers.

✈️ My fellow travel agents & industry friends — for the advice, shared knowledge, laughs and friendships I’ve made along the way.

🌍 The wider travel industry — for the amazing opportunities to travel, learn, experience new places and continually become better at what I do.

💛 Travel Counsellors — for all the support behind the scenes that helps me do what I love every day.

So today, I’m raising a glass 🥂 to all of you.

You’ve all played a part in building a business I’m incredibly proud of.

Thank you. ❤️

🍁 Is it normal to be THIS excited about somebody else’s holiday? 🇨🇦

Two of my customers are heading off on an incredible Canadian adventure NEXT WEEK and, having travelled through the Canadian Rockies myself, I know exactly what they’ve got coming…

And it’s going to be breathtaking. ❤️

🏔️ One part of their journey takes them through Lake Louise, Bow Lake, Peyto Lake, the Columbia Icefield and Athabasca Falls, before arriving into Jasper.

And that’s just ONE part of their adventure! 🇨🇦

This is exactly the kind of holiday I LOVE planning.

It’s not just flights and hotels. It’s making sure the route, experiences and all those little details come together — and being able to bring my own first-hand experience into the planning makes it even more special.

They get to be excited. I do the homework. 📝❤️

So tell me…

Are you a “plan every detail” traveller 📝 or a “we’ll work it out when we get there” traveller? 😂

Next year, the S.S. Audrey will be setting sail along the Rhine River and its tributaries in Belgium and the Netherlands. The ship is inspired by beloved actress Audrey Hepburn, who was born in this region. Beautiful onboard spaces pay homage to Hepburn’s life and works, with elements of her iconic style imbued throughout.

🇬🇷 SANTORINI – sunsets without the summer crowds 💙
🇬🇷 ATHENS – history, sunshine & rooftop drinks 🍹
🇬🇷 THESSALONIKI – food, culture & Greek sunshine

So if you’re NOT ready to pack away the flip-flops just yet… neither am I! 😂☀️

I’m going to use the C word… CHRISTMAS! 🎄😂

I know, I know… it’s still August, but Christmas market breaks are already very much on the radar and some of Europe’s favourites have their 2026 dates confirmed.

So if twinkling lights, mulled w**e and a festive city break sound like your kind of thing, here are some dates for the diary. ✨

Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Kraków, Strasbourg… which one would you choose? ❤️✈️

🔥 TEAM HEAT or ❄️ TEAM COOLCATION?

Which one are you?

Is anyone else finding some of our traditional summer holiday favourites are getting just a little TOO hot? 🥵

I’m seeing — and booking — more COOLCATIONS, and after going to Norway last August, I get the appeal!

🇳🇴 We had long summer days, incredible fjords, waterfalls and mountains, plus fantastic cities like Bergen and Oslo.

And it was a completely different kind of summer holiday — including, apparently, dressing up as a Viking! 😂⚔️

Norway isn’t the only option either…

🇮🇸 Iceland — waterfalls, hot springs & incredible road trips
🇩🇰 Denmark — Copenhagen, canals, Tivoli & great food
🇸🇪 Sweden — Stockholm, lakes, islands & the archipelago

A COOLCATION doesn’t mean being cold! It’s about comfortable temperatures, long summer days and actually getting out and experiencing somewhere different.

So… are you sticking with the sunshine or could I tempt you over to the cooler side? 😂
