Hey I'm Hayley! I have 8 years of industry experience. Thailand is my ultimate favourite, but I also love sailing on cruises. From Celebrity to Cunard, P&O to Royal Caribbean, SAGA to Regent Seven Seas, I've explored numerous ships. I've had incredible adventures like working in Lapland with Santa, hiking to Petra's Monastery, swimming in Iceland's Blue Lagoon, visiting Rome's Colosseum, and exploring the Tatra Mountains.

Sara Williams

Manager

With 28 years of travel experience under my belt, starting as an apprentice with Lunn Poly at 16, I've journeyed far and wide. Holding NVQ Level 2 & 3 in travel and tourism, I've had unforgettable adventures, from exploring Palm Island in the Caribbean to going on a thrilling safari in Kenya. Swimming with turtles was a cherished experience. Greece has captured my heart, having explored numerous enchanting islands. In 2004, I won tickets to the final of "I'm a Celebrity," adding an unexpected twist to my travel tales. Oh, and there was that embarrassing moment when I dozed off during a Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas. When I woke up I rose to a round of applause from the crowd.

Travel Agent

I've been in the travel industry for two amazing decades! It all started during college when I visited Regal Travel and instantly joined the team. From Thailand to the USA and everywhere in between, I've been fortunate to explore captivating destinations worldwide. My knowledge blossomed through incredible work visits, like the iconic Atlantis Resort in Dubai and sailing on the Celebrity Edge. Personally, Thailand holds a special place in my heart with its vibrant culture and breathtaking beauty, especially in Bangkok and Phuket. Our family adores Turkey and the Holiday Village Resort. We recently tied the knot in Nissi Beach, Cyprus, with 55 unforgettable friends. If you're seeking a memorable destination wedding, count on me! Next up, Viva Las Vegas and Lapland for a Santa surprise!
