Designer Travel Expert

Since February 2016

I’m Nicky and I am the Head of Operations here at Designer Travel. I live in Saddleworth and have worked in this fantastic Industry for over 38 years and have a passion for travelling!

Our team here at Designer Travel care and look after every client and like to ensure every detail of your holiday is perfect for you. Our homeworkers are located throughout the UK and provide a bespoke travel service for their customers often concentrating on areas of specialisation including weddings and honeymoons or specific destinations that they have a particular love for.

Personally, I have been very lucky to travel to some fantastic places over my years in travel and my favourite types of holidays are cruising, skiing, motorbike holidays and visiting Disney. I have been on over 50 cruises from River Cruises to Ocean - across the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. My personal favourites are Oceania Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Virgin Voyages, Uniworld and Scenic / Emerald. My favourite Ocean ships are any of the Ocean ships and Celebrity Edge / Solstice Class ships.

I have also stayed at many of the Disney properties in Florida and Paris. These include the Newport Bay, Sequoia Lodge in Euro Disney and Key West Villas, Fort Wilderness Campground, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Caribbean Beach, All Star Movies and the Contemporary Resort in Florida.

Other destinations I have travelled too recently include Paris, Dubai, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Las Vegas, New York, Copenhagen, Rome, Skiing in France and Austria, the Caribbean, touring on the bike in Germany and Switzerland.

If there is anything I can do to help with your holiday, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We want your holiday to be a memory that lasts a lifetime.
