Caroline O'Donnell

I guess you could say I got into the travel business young: growing up in Wales my family regularly vacationed in spots as far flung as Spain and Tunisia. And I discovered that the world is so vast and wonderful – and definitely worth exploring! I have now been a travel advisor for some 30 years and still love the business.

I have discovered a love of cruising, both river and big-ship ocean cruising. I’ve been so happy to introduce my clients to the culturally-immersive experience of cruising the rivers of Europe: ideal for those who relish the thought of unpacking only once but experiencing a country (or several countries) where the scenery is so close you can almost touch it!

I also believe big-ship cruising can be such a wonderful experience, especially now when the ships themselves are as much as “destination” as the destinations on the itinerary. But the choices (which cruise line, which accommodation and dining options, which shore excursions?) can be overwhelming and I am happy to help you sort through it all to make the choice that’s perfect for you. As a recent graduate of the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line University I have special insider knowledge about that first-rate cruise line that I can share with you.

And if you’re a firm fan of staying firmly on the ground rather than cruising, I can help you there too, especially when it comes to the sunny south. Each year I help my clients discover the relaxation and fun to be had at the many all-inclusive resorts across Mexico and the Caribbean. And again, because there are so many to choose from, I’m here to help you narrow down the choice to the ideal one for you and your travelling companions.

My clients, many of whom have been with me for years, tell me they love my attention to detail, my ability to listen and learn, and my honesty. If that’s what you are looking for in a travel advisor, I’d love to hear from you!
