Specialist Cruise Concierge

I absolutely love Canada - the scenery is breathtaking, and I can’t wait to visit again. My helicopter ride over the Niagra falls and the Maid of the Mist was a dream moment for me. I enjoyed dinner at the Sheraton Skyline Tower restaurant with views over the falls, which was incredible. The elk strolled down the main street past the Banff Springs Hotel in Banff where we stayed; it was just incredible. My favourite cruise line is Silversea. I sailed on the new Silver Ray in June, which is a beautiful contemporary resort with lots of space. The impeccable service really stood out for me - every member of staff was incredible. I had a Medallion Suite with a Butler and his service was exceptional. I just loved the ultra-all-Inclusive concept with nothing to worry about at all. I've also done a lot of travelling around California. I stayed in the Beverly Hills Wiltshire on Sunset Boulevard while in Los Angeles, before driving to Palm Springs and Las Vegas. I visited Lake Tahoe, Mammoth Lakes and stayed in Yosomite National Park. It's a stunning atmosphere there, with beautiful scenery and wildlife. San Francisco also has a lot to offer - the Golden Gate Bridge is spectacular. I also recommend visiting China Town and Muir Woods, which is famous for its huge Redwood Trees over 1000 years old. In Santa Monica, we spent a lot of time on its beautiful beaches, particularly the vibrant Venice Beach which was really lovely.
