River Cruise

Small Group

Janice’s travel diary reads like an A to Z of bucket-list experiences. She calls herself an expert in the art of river and ocean cruising, but the depth of her travels also suggests she’s equally adept at beachside sojourns and small group touring.

Her passion as a travel advisor is evident, connecting closely with her clients to turn their travel dreams into lifelong memories, like a modern-day Fairy Godmother, which she refers to as ‘an absolute privilege’. 

Janice is about to celebrate two decades in the industry but says her time is marked by the many amazing experiences she’s helped to bring true rather than years. One of her favourites is a holiday to Greece for a family of three including a teenage son to celebrate Mum's 50th Birthday, however meanwhile Janice was also secretly arranging travel for six close friends to surprise her client in Santorini for the big day. It worked! Her client was absolutely surprised and touched by the experience. 

In terms of her own travel highlights, Janice says her experience of Gold Leaf Class on the Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Banff was incredible with the ever-changing, ever-more stunning scenery, exceptional food, and amazing views on offer.  

Camping in Namibia and South Africa was another incredible experience for this travel buff, thanks to ever-changing scenery, unforgettable wildlife encounters and the chance to climb Dune 45 at sunrise.   

Rounding out her Top Three, Janice says a luxury small group tour of Vietnam and Cambodia offered so many memorable experiences from the history and the food to the cycleways of Ninh Van Bay Six Senses which was the perfect way to get around the stunning and indulgent property. 

When asked to list her very favourite places to travel, she reels off a veritable feast of Southern Hemisphere senses from Australia, New Zealand, Vanuatu, Fiji, Noumea, Bali, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Namibia and South Africa to Northern neighbours including Canada, Alaska, USA, Hawaii, Italy, France, Switzerland, Malaysia and India.

What is your number one travel tip?

Make sure you get an E-sim - you'll skip the hassle of physical SIM cards and avoid roaming charges. It's a must-have for seamless, luxury travel!

What are your favourite destinations and why?

Vietnam is definitely a food lover's paradise - the vibrant cuisine is truly something special. Canada is magnificent for its stunning scenery, from the rugged mountains to pristine lakes.

How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

I think of every little detail of their itinerary each step of the way, suggesting unique destinations or activities that they might not have thought possible.

Where is still on your bucket list?

For me, Jordan and Egypt are on my wish list for their ancient architecture and desert adventures. Turkey is a beautiful blend of cultural influences, while Myanmar and Laos are quieter alternatives in Southeast Asia.

A World of Experience

Janice's client testimonial

With Janice's invaluable help, we have now done several special trips, including Canada, Scandinavia, Hawaii, France, Italy, and a Mediterranean cruise. She always finds little hidden gems to recommend, such as a Moulin Rouge dinner show, which we loved. No request from us has been too difficult - in fact, we look on Janice as a friend who has all the answers for our travel needs.
