Do you know your Begonias from your Daffodils ?

Are you a gardening fanatic or just need help getting anything at all to grow.......
We have a fabulous selection of gardening cruises with some famous faces off the BBC to help and guide you along.  Tony Russell, David Hurrion, Ashley Stephenson, Matthew Biggs, John Cushnie and not forgetting the housewives choice Alan Titmarsh....

To Cruise or Not to Cruise...... That is the question ?????

There are two types of travellers in the world  those who love to cruise and those who have so many preconceptions of cruising that it is the last choice of holiday they would possibly consider......

With so many cruise lines on offer now to suit a variety of tastes cruising certainly offers something for everyone.

Why I am proud to work for cruise.co.uk

After working within the travel industry for nearly all of my 29 working years since I left school, what a delight it is to work for a caring and professional company.

My Dream Cruise


For me the highlights would be the beautiful clear waters, icebergs and glaciers shimmering against the sea and sky and of course if I could catch a glimpse of the whales that would be fantastic.

My Favourite Place





My favourite place is Sorrento situated on the beautiful Neopolitan Riviera, I spent four fantastic holidays there.


A beautiful place full of charm and character and ideally positioned for visiting Capri, Pompeii, Vesuvius and Herculaneum as well as exploring the beautiful Neoplitan coastline and the Amalfi drive is a tour not to be missed.

My Hobbies



For all those fishermen and women out there .........

Though only a small carp I now have the fishing bug and I was determined to catch a fish from our lake in France ...... Now the challenge is on as we have catfish at over 60lb in our lake as well as carp in excess of 22lb, roach and trout.
