Why I Love Small Ship Cruising

Specialising in small ship cruising, Kyra has personally experienced river cruising, expedition cruising, luxury small ship cruising, and sailing. She loves the effortless nature of cruising, unpacking only once while waking up somewhere new each day, with every detail taken care of from start to finish. Smaller ships also offer access to destinations that larger vessels simply can’t reach, allowing guests to experience authentic ports, hidden gems, and immersive cultural experiences that are often the highlight of a journey.

Wildlife Experiences That Stay With You Forever

Wildlife travel is another of Kyra’s greatest passions. From standing amongst thousands of penguins in Antarctica and witnessing whales bubble-net feeding, to unforgettable African safaris and coming face to face with polar bears in Churchill, she understands just how powerful these experiences can be. She loves helping clients create their own incredible wildlife encounters, whether that’s tracking leopards in Sri Lanka, spotting grizzly bears in Canada, or exploring the Galápagos Islands.

Curating Bespoke Itineraries

Alongside cruising, Kyra specialises in designing bespoke independant itineraries. She believes no two holidays should ever be the same and enjoys curating unique journeys based on each client’s interests, travel style, and budget. Whether it’s discovering boutique hotels, luxury lodges, exclusive experiences, or hidden gems away from the crowds, she takes great pride in creating thoughtfully planned itineraries that feel personal and effortless.
