My travel career began overseas as a holiday rep many years ago and I spent 3 years as a wedding co-ordinator in the Dominican Republic. What an amazing time I had helping to make peoples wedding dreams come to life.
I decided after being overseas for many years that it was time to come home to sunny Manchester….home is where the heart is as they say.
I have worked in travel ever since and for the past 14 years I have been a Cruise Specialist which I can honestly say I love. I was completely blown away by my first ever cruise on board the Sea Princess, my trip was magical and since then I have been lucky enough to experience more amazing cruise lines with my family.
My love of cruising makes my job so much more than just a job. I love sharing my knowledge and whether you are new to cruising or have cruised many times before I’m here to help find you the perfect cruise experience. I would love to speak to you so give me a call on 0800 408 6101 or drop me an email on abbiv@cruise.co.uk
