Canada, Alaska & Luxury World Wide Specialist

Regent Seven Seas Explorer - Istanbul
Regent Seven Seas Explorer - Istanbul

My wonderful career in travel has given me the opportunity to enjoy numerous trips & cruises to various countries across the Globe. Top of my list and favourite destination to visit is Canada.
I have been lucky to travel across Canada a number of times, including a trip on board the World Famous “Rocky Mountaineer” in Goldleaf Service and getting up close with Grizzly Bears on the remote west coast of British Columbia at Knight Inlet Lodge. 
My visits to Canada have also allowed me to experience the thundering Niagara Falls, a ski trip in the beautiful Rockies and whale watching off of Vancouver Island.

Since starting selling holidays at the age of 16, my career and personal family holidays have taken me on many trips to Europe, the Middle East, the Caribbean and also to the USA on over 15 occasions.

I have extensive cruise knowledge which has seen me sailing several times including the stunning Norwegian Fjords and more recently I was fortunate enough to sail on board the world’s most luxurious cruise ship, Regent Seven Seas Explorer. This particular sailing took me over the warm waters of the Ionian Sea from the bustling bazaars of Istanbul to the ancient city of Ephesus, built by the ancient Greeks in 10bc.

Specialising in all types of cruising and luxury travel, I will be sure to use my knowledge and high levels of personal customer service to find you the perfect holiday, once in a lifetime experiences and tick off any bucket list destinations you may you have.

    The four of us got back yesterday and we just wanted to say Thank You for putting this holiday package together for us.

    The Westjet flights were comfortable and timely

    The Hyatt Regency in Vancouver was excellent. An absolutely superb location for exploring the city, but also for the cruise terminal and skytrain from the airport.

    We thoroughly enjoyed the 48 hour hop on/hop off bus tours. Excellent service.

    Finally the cruise on Celebrity Eclipse was sensational. Our first time with Celebrity cruises and it will not be our last. Great ship, absolutely superb food, lovely service and amazing scenery and locations explored.

    We loved the whole experience and just wanted to say Thank You.

    My personal travel planner, Craig sold the holiday to me with his first email beautifully describing [from personal experience]a suggested itinerary which sounded fabulous. We are travelling with friends who also had options to be considered, some cheaper, some not but Craig’s descriptive narrative put this one in a different league. He has been extremely supportive at every stage, but not pushy and his patience is amazing.

  • Thank you

    Reviewed By S & D Grout - Surrey | Travelled to Canada

    Craig,
    Thank you for organising our wonderful trip to Canada. Recently back we had a great time and really enjoyed the Rocky Mountaineer and the Alaska Cruise. The Holland America ship was fantastic, with such friendly and obliging staff and excellent food. The weather was great for the whole trip .
    We were glad to have the extra days in Vancouver before and after the trip and spent alot of time walking and using the hop on hop off bus.

    It would be worth telling people that there is no need to get taxis to the cruise terminal if they are staying central as it is only a 10min walk or less from both the Fairmont and the Pinnacle. Also we used the Canada line sky train to get to the airport (cheap and again by the cruise terminal)

    thank you again.
    Susan and David Grout.

    Apart from having the phone call disconnected just as I was about to speak to a member. I did however receive a prompt phone call back. Excellent service from Craig and very quick to provide a discount when I informed him that I had received a better quote for the cruise element of the package trip. Very professional and courteous.

    This company is a must. I am always nervous when making booking to companies that I do not know. But everything about them make me feel my booking was safe, the information they have provided is accurate and above all, they cared about our holiday. Special mention to Craig McAllister who has been incredible.

    When I rang and spoke to Craig about a holiday of a lifetime I wanted to book for next year, he was very helpful and knowledgeable about the place I wanted to visit as he has been there first hand which filled me with confidence as it’s going to cost a lot of money ! Iv rang him a few times to ask lots of questions, he has always been helpful and accommodating.

    With a friend I was planning a trip to Canada and approached a number of Canada Travel Specialists but found Craig at Canada Travel the most helpful. Craig was always very quick to respond to any queries, came back with suggestions and add-ons to our personal itinerary, sourced excellent hotels at excellent rates and his personal knowledge of Canada was very helpful in identifying excursions and experiences that would suit us. Canada Travel were very competitive on price and we feel our trip of a lifetime is excellent value for money and will be a most wonderful holiday and experience.
