About Across The Sea

A Personal Approach to Travel

Over the years, friends and family often came to me for help choosing holidays or arranging group trips — especially cruises. I’d research options, compare itineraries, talk through ideas with them, and even place the bookings. I realised how much I enjoyed guiding people through the process and how natural it felt.

That’s when it clicked: starting my own independent travel agency wasn’t just a good fit — it was the perfect one. Across The Sea is built from that experience, combining my love of travel and cruising with the personal support people have always trusted me for.


This photo was taken on my very first cruise back in 2011 – the trip that sparked my love for cruising and eventually led me to start Across The Sea.

Cruise Expertise

Cruises have always been one of my favourite types of holidays to plan. Over the years I’ve helped friends, family, and groups choose the right ships, compare itineraries, and book trips that suited their style – from relaxed coastal sailings to full‑on adventure routes. That experience has given me a clear understanding of what different cruise lines offer, how itineraries feel in real life, and which ships work best for different travellers.

Whether you’re dreaming of Norway’s fjords, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, or something a little more unusual, I’ll help you find a cruise that fits your pace, your preferences, and your budget. My advice is based on real experience – not guesswork – so you can book with confidence and enjoy a holiday that feels effortless from the moment you step onboard.

Why I Started Across The Sea

Across The Sea was created to offer something different: a calmer, more thoughtful way to plan holidays. After years of seeing how overwhelming travel planning had become — endless websites, conflicting advice, and too many choices — I wanted to build a place where things felt clearer. A space where travellers could talk to someone who genuinely listens, understands what they want, and shapes holidays with care. Across The Sea is my way of bringing simplicity back into travel, with guidance that feels personal rather than pressured.

How I Work

Planning a holiday should feel exciting, not stressful. I keep things simple: we start with a friendly chat about what you’re looking for, then I shape ideas and options that genuinely fit your style. You choose what feels right, and I take care of the details — from bookings to small touches that make a trip feel effortless. Throughout the process, you always have someone to talk to, someone who listens, and someone who’s there to help whenever you need it.
