Nicky Henden

I believe your holiday should be about more than simply booking flights and accommodation. It should be an experience thoughtfully designed around you, your wishes and the way you love to travel.

I treat every client like a family member or friend. I take the time to understand what’s important to you and combine your wish list with my knowledge, experience and personal recommendations. I can help bring all the pieces together, from the initial idea right through to your return home. Together we can create a holiday I know you’ll love, and quite often, one I’d love to take myself!

With over 30 years of experience in the travel industry, my areas of travel expertise include personalised holidays, family and multi-generational travel, cruising, luxury rail journeys, self-drive holidays, tailor-made itineraries and destination planning across the Pacific, Australia, UK, Europe, North America, South America, Asia and Africa. I am a member of CLIA – Cruise Lines International Association and Virtuoso – Luxury Travel Agent.

As a Travel Broker, I offer a personal and flexible service, with the convenience of meeting when and where suits you. I have access to a wide range of airlines, hotel chains, cruise lines, tour companies and travel suppliers, allowing me to find the right options to suit your travel style, preferences and budget. As an independent Travel Broker, I’m not restricted to working with particular travel companies, giving me the freedom to recommend the options I genuinely believe are right for you.

I’ve been fortunate to travel to many wonderful destinations, both on my own holidays and through experiences with travel suppliers and industry partners. I’ve visited destinations including Fiji, Rarotonga, Tahiti, New Caledonia, Samoa, Australia, Vietnam, Thailand, Bali, UK, Europe, South Africa, China, Canada, USA and Hawaii.

These first-hand experiences, combined with more than three decades in the travel industry, allow me to offer practical insights and personal recommendations that go beyond simply booking a holiday.

Of course, it has to be said that travel doesn’t always go exactly to plan. Airline and transport changes, strikes, weather events from floods to erupting volcanoes and other unexpected situations can all have an impact on a journey. I understand the stress and uncertainty that can come when your plans suddenly change. When you book with me, you’re not just booking a holiday, you have someone in your corner the entire way – before, during and after your trip.

I’d love to hear about your travel plans. I’m happy to arrange an initial conversation by phone or email, whichever works best for you, and we can take it from there.

I look forward to helping you create a holiday that’s uniquely yours.
