With over 17 years of experience in the travel industry, Marlena is passionate about taking the stress out of planning and replacing it with the excitement and joy travel should bring.

Specialising in Cruises, Family Holidays, Ocean Cruises, and Food & Wine getaways, Marlena crafts unforgettable journeys designed around each client’s unique style, interests, and dreams.

A dedicated cruise specialist and destination expert for places like Indonesia, Singapore, Germany, Italy, Fiji, and beyond, Marlena goes the extra mile to ensure every detail is taken care of—from flights and accommodation to hidden gems and insider tips.

Her love for travel is deeply personal. As she puts it: “I love to travel to be free to explore, enjoy the culture, and interact with locals through their cuisine and traditions.” One of her most cherished memories? Taking my daughter to Paris and seeing the smile on her face when we arrived at our hotel and she saw the Eiffel Tower for the very first time!”

Whether you’re planning a cultural city break, a relaxing island retreat, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, Marlena’s personalised service ensures you can focus on making memories—not managing logistics.

Get to know me

What is your number one travel tip?

Arrive at the airport at least three hours before your flight (even if it's domestic within Europe or America) then you can enjoy the duty free shopping with no stress of finding your gate.

What are your favourite destinations and why?

My favourite destination is Europe for the culture, food and I'm always learning something about their amazing history, every time I visit.

How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

I am contactable right up until they depart for their holiday and every moment while they're away. My clients know they can ask me anything and that I'm here to support them.

Where is still on your bucket list?

The Northern Lights would be amazing to witness in person. Seeing the lights dance across the sky would be an absolute dream come true for me.
