Set sail on a last‑minute European adventure with Norwegian Cruise Line this summer.

Think ancient ruins in Athens, sunsets over the canals of Venice, and tapas‑filled evenings in Barcelona, all in one unforgettable cruise. With some fantastic late deals available, your dream escape could be closer (and better value) than you think.

I have access to some brilliant last‑minute European cruise offers with NCL right now. Get in touch with me today for more information and I will help you find the perfect sailing.

Just had the pleasure of spending time on board the beautiful Silver Endeavour in Dublin Port last week and I was genuinely blown away.

From the elegant interiors and stunning furnishings to the exceptional dining and sheer comfort in every space, this ship is designed for extraordinary journeys: think the Arctic Circle, Antarctica and some of the world’s most remote, breathtaking corners.

Silver Endeavour is part of an incredible collection of voyages, and for anyone who has always dreamt of an ultra-luxury cruise, there has never been a better time to look at last‑minute options. With some long‑haul clients postponing Mediterranean trips due to increased flight costs from places like Australia and New Zealand, there is currently some superb late availability.

If you would like to know more about these offers or talk through which itinerary might suit you best, get in touch and I’ll be delighted to help you plan something unforgettable.

Here's a couple of photos from the day so you can see just how special this ship really is... though my skills are a camera man are lacking as they really don't do it justice!

I'm recently back from Vietnam and what a ride it was: Hanoi’s organised chaos, drifting past limestone karsts in Ha Long Bay, tailoring in Hoi An and street food that completely reset my expectations.

I have written a new blog that takes you behind the scenes of my own small‑group adventure through Vietnam with :

• What the pace is really like
• How the group dynamic works
• The mix of must‑see highlights and local, authentic experiences
• Handy tips for Irish travellers, from flights to packing and budgets

If you have ever wondered what it is actually like to explore Vietnam on an adventure tour, this blog will give you a clear, honest picture.

Thinking about Vietnam for your next big trip, or curious about small‑group adventures in general: message me and I will design a trip that fits your comfort level, interests and budget.

Behind every smooth TV or film shoot is a travel plan that works just as hard as your production team.

I’m increasingly partnering with a growing number of production companies who need reliable, specialist support for:
• Last‑minute changes and complex group movements
• Cast and crew travelling from multiple locations
• Visas, documentation, and high‑pressure timelines
• Duty of care and risk management in challenging environments

As a dedicated production travel specialist, I act as an extension of your team: getting to know your schedules, your people, and your priorities so travel stops being a firefighting exercise and becomes a strategic asset that keeps your shoot on track.

If you’re looking for a trusted partner to take the stress out of production travel, I’d love to chat about how I can support your next project.
