About me
Thanks for taking the time to read about me. I can tell you a little about my life and travels. It gives you an idea of who you are dealing with and how I can assist you with your worldwide cruising desires.
I worked on ships as a shore excursions assistant for four years 2011 – 2015 and although it was hard work, it was also really rewarding. I have spent time as an officer on Queen Mary 2, Queen Victoria, Thomson Dream and Thomson Spirit, exploring the world and the fabulous ports of call. Escorting tours throughout the world was part of my duties and ‘quality control’ was taken very seriously if there was food or wine involved. I am a complete foodie and love the different flavours of the continents. Taste testing my way round the world has been a true delight, especially fresh fish which is served in so many of the ports across the globe. My experiences of the destinations has put me in a great position to help you choose the best voyage for you and your family.
I started working in travel back in 2002 as a ski host in Meribel, France. Working 10 years overseas as a holiday representative, customer services manager and resort manager. I loved experiencing the countries I was living in (France, Norway, Italy, USA, Switzerland, Austria & Slovenia) and passing on recommendations to my guests so they could get the most out of their valuable holiday time. With my wealth of experience, let me help you choose the cruise that will give you and your loved ones the best holiday.
My son Max is now two years old and is looking forward to his next cruise on MSC Magnifica in April 2018. He has already been to the Arctic circle, seen the Northern lights and visited many countries in both Europe and USA. I met my partner Sonja in Fremantle Australia when we both joined Queen Mary 2 for a four month contract. We now live in Nottinghamshire together with Max, but all three of us love travelling.
I look forward to hearing from you soon. My direct dial number is 0333 300 2480 or look me up on Facebook as All Aboard with Adrian
