Jo Marron
Designer Travel Expert
Since July 2021
Hello, I’m Jo, a luxury travel consultant based in the North East of the UK, with over 30 years of experience crafting exceptional travel experiences. I specialise in creating bespoke holidays, thoughtfully tailored to each client, with meticulous attention to detail from start to finish.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to travel extensively, gaining first-hand experience of some of the world’s most inspiring destinations. My journeys have taken me from the sand dunes of Abu Dhabi and family trips to Disneyland Orlando, to the tranquil shores of the West Coast of Australia. I’ve explored Canada, Thailand and Vietnam, experienced the magic of Finland with snowmobiling adventures beneath the Northern Lights, enjoyed multiple luxury cruise journeys, and relaxed in iconic destinations such as the Maldives and Mauritius. I’ve also had the privilege of embarking on a South African safari and witnessing the breathtaking power of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.
Now that my two children are grown, I’m enjoying discovering refined, adult-only resorts and indulgent long-haul cruise experiences, insight I bring directly to my clients when designing their perfect escape.
This breadth of personal travel experience allows me to offer an honest, knowledgeable and highly personalised service, whether you are planning a luxury long-haul holiday, an elegant cruise, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure or a beautifully curated family escape.
Having arranged almost every style of holiday imaginable , from secluded white-sand beaches and immersive wildlife experiences to cosmopolitan city breaks , I specialise in long-haul travel, luxury cruises and European family holidays.
If you’re seeking a travel consultant who values quality, expertise and exceptional service, I would be delighted to assist. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch , I look forward to curating your next unforgettable journey.
