Chris Barker-Pickering

Hi, I’m Chris, a passionate cruise and travel expert based in Nottinghamshire.

With over 15 years of experience in the travel industry, I’ve worked across a variety of roles within some of the most respected and well-known global travel brands, gaining a wealth of knowledge to help you plan your perfect getaway. Cruising is my true passion — I’ve experienced both ocean and river cruises, and I love helping my clients find the perfect sailing to suit their style.

Whether you’re dreaming of exploring the Mediterranean, island-hopping in the Caribbean, setting off on a once-in-a-lifetime world voyage or taking in the most breathtaking views whilst sailing the worlds most iconic rivers, I’ll use my insider knowledge to make sure every detail is just right. Beyond the waves, I’ve also travelled to some incredible destinations including Thailand, Sri Lanka, USA (especially Florida!), UAE, Greek Islands and many more amazing destinations in Europe— so whether you’re after a relaxing beach escape, an action-packed adventure, or a luxury getaway, I can help with that too.

I know how precious your holiday time is, and I’ll be with you every step of the way — from the moment you book to the moment you arrive home — making sure all you have to do is relax and create memories to last a lifetime.

So, whether you’re planning your first cruise (or second, or third…who’s counting!), a family holiday, or your next big adventure, I’d love to help you make it truly unforgettable.
