We're absolutely delighted to share that Claire has been featured in TTG Media , one of the UK's most respected travel trade publications. It came off the back of Claire attending the Five Countries Workshop in London earlier this month – a brilliant industry event showcasing travel products across Iceland, Finland, Estonia, the Faroe Islands and Greenland. And it's fair to say she came home buzzing. We've pulled out a couple of highlights from the piece below so you can get

23,000 miles, 5 flights, 5 cities, 3 time zones, all in 14 days - what would you do to celebrate 10 years of marriage???   Go back to the honeymoon destination of Oahu, Hawaii for 7 nights?  Why not!   Whilst Oahu was the main destination, it was also a great opportunity to top and tail with stop overs in other locations.   10 years ago, we ventured to San Franscisco before travelling to Oahu and stopped at LA on the way back to the UK.  It's a great way to see more so this t

Each family holiday stays with you long after you’ve unpacked your suitcase, and our November trip to the Red Sea coast is one I know I’ll treasure forever. It wasn’t just the winter sun or the incredible scenery, it was how it felt . Easy. Warm. Brilliant fun. If you’ve been wondering if a luxury holiday in Egypt is right for your family, I can tell you now: it’s the kind of trip that fills your heart right back up. Arrival at Pickalbatros Laguna Vista The moment we walked i

For several years now I have been craving a holiday abroad. I just wanted a bit of sun, sand and cocktails and the craving intensified over the last few months. I am neurodiverse and was already dreading the airport and flight. My husband and I began looking at deals online and in all honestly we got so overwhelmed with the choice, reviews etc and had no idea where to start! In my lunch break, I popped into town to run some errands and “accidentally fell" (🤣) into the travel

When we decided to book an impromptu winter break, Sheri at Luxury Dream Holidays was our first point of call.   We weren’t entirely sure where we wanted to go, we just knew we wanted a couple of weeks away and some winter sunshine. Sheri was amazing. She gave us plenty of options and was incredibly knowledgeable about the different destinations and resorts.   Our holiday in Hurghada was out of this world. The flights from our local airport were perfect, and the resort itself

I’ve always had strong ties to Australia - my Auntie was a " £10 Pom "! As a child, I was lucky enough to visit family in Adelaide several times, and that’s where the love for Australia started. I told myself I’d live there one day. Fast forward to 2005, and my husband and I, with two young kids in tow, finally headed off to the land Down Under. We lived there for nine incredible years, experiencing things I’ll cherish forever. We settled on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland,

Planning a European getaway? As of this week, there’s a new system in place we wanted to give you a heads-up about – the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), which went live on October 12th. It sounds formal, but don’t worry. We’ve dug into the details to keep things simple, so your travels stay completely stress-free.

After 40 years in travel, it’s not often a destination takes you by complete surprise. But Estonia, you certainly did that! It was one of the most emotional and eye-opening trips I’ve ever taken. It’s a joy to discover you can still be so wonderfully wrong about a place. I went in expecting it to be rather old-fashioned with a heavy Russian influence, and I couldn’t have been more mistaken. A Land of Welcome & Flavour Before I even get into the journey, what struck me about E

We're absolutely thrilled to share some incredible news - Luxury Dream Holidays has been shortlisted as a finalist for Top Luxury Weddings & Honeymoons Agency 2025 in the prestigious Travel Trade Gazette Top 20 Luxury Travel Agencies Awards.

The view from Cheow Lan Lake Honestly, when we first saw the plan from Emma - five stops in nearly three weeks - we had a moment of thinking, "Is this a bit much?" But it was the best decision we could have made. The whole thing just worked, like clockwork. We never once had to think about logistics. The flights were perfect, a driver was always there waiting, the hotels knew we were coming, every transfer and ticket was sorted. It meant we could just get on with actually bei
