John Redding

Hello, I‘m John, and I live in the beautiful spa town of Ilkley with my wife, Candice, our two grown-up children and our dog.

Travel has shaped my life from an early age. Having been born in Nigeria and fortunate enough to explore many corners of the world, I've developed a genuine fascination with different cultures, landscapes and ways of life. That curiosity continues to inspire both my own adventures and the journeys I create for my clients.

I specialise in luxury holidays, cruise travel and tailor-made itineraries, designing experiences that reflect what matters most to you. Whether that's a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, an unforgettable family holiday, a luxury escape or a complex multi-centre itinerary, I believe travel should feel effortless, personal and memorable from start to finish.

Cruising is a particular passion of mine. I've explored destinations including Alaska, Mexico and much of Europe by sea and river, giving me first-hand insight into what makes each voyage unique. I've sailed with a wide range of cruise lines, including Regent Seven Seas, Crystal Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Fred. Olsen and P&O Cruises, allowing me to provide honest, independent advice based on real experience rather than brochures alone. As a CLIA-accredited cruise specialist, I combine industry expertise with practical knowledge to help match you with the right ship, itinerary and style of travel.

One of the most rewarding trips I've designed was a bespoke Danube journey for a musical group, combining carefully selected destinations with shared cultural experiences. Seeing travellers connect with both the places they visit and the people they're travelling with is one of the things I enjoy most about what I do.

While luxury travel and cruising are my areas of specialism, my own adventures have ranged from trekking to Colombia's Lost City to exploring some of the world's most spectacular coastlines and landscapes. Every journey teaches me something new and helps me offer better advice, fresh ideas and valuable insights to my clients.

My approach is simple: take the time to understand what you enjoy, what's important to you and what you want from your travels. From there, I'll create a holiday that's uniquely yours, with expert guidance and support every step of the way.

If you're thinking about your next adventure, I'd be delighted to help you plan it.
