Ocean Cruise

For Nicole Ingpen, travel isn’t just a profession – it’s a lifelong passion. With over a decade of experience in the travel industry and a passport full of stamps from 25 countries, Nicole brings unmatched insight, empathy, and expertise to every itinerary she creates.

Whether you're dreaming of the bustling souks of Morocco or the serene beaches of Thailand, Nicole has not only been there – she's immersed herself in the culture, cuisine, and character of each destination. 

Nicole is a specialist in several incredible destinations, including Morocco, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand. She's also a cruise expert, perfectly suited to help you navigate the waters – literally and figuratively – for unforgettable journeys at sea. 

Her favourite travel memory? “Arriving into Marrakesh, Morocco late at night. My flight was delayed and I had to find a way to my hotel. The kindness of strangers came shining through when a transfer driver that was booked for someone else saw my distress and offered to help me. Marrakesh was a mix of spice, heat and fabulous people – take me back!” 

Nicole believes the best travel experiences come from preparation and heart. Her number one travel tip? “Always arrange an arrival transfer – after your first flight and arriving at your destination, there is nothing better than someone to take you to your hotel and not have to worry about taxis, currency and tipping.” 

With a travel bucket list that still includes seeing Petra in Jordan by sunrise and candlelight, Nicole's curiosity and passion for discovery are ever-growing – just like the journeys she designs for her clients. 

Let Nicole turn your travel dreams into expertly crafted adventures, wherever they may lead.

Get to know me

What are your favourite destinations to visit and why?

I love to travel to Italy. The people, the food, the land, the culture, and the history - what a melting pot of experiences! 

What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?

I was contacted by a client to arrange a personalised trip to India for her family of five. I created an itinerary that included all the flights, transfers, highlights and their own tour guide to ensure all went smoothly. The experience was truly one-of-a-kind, and my client returned raving about their guide who went to every length to give them an incredible trip.

Why do you love travel? Tell us what it means to you?

Trying local dishes when travelling gives you a deeper understanding of a place's history, traditions and values. For me, food is an integral part of every culture. It's a way of connecting to the heart of a destination, offering insight into its people, heritage, and daily life. 

How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

I take the time to understand my clients’ preferences, needs, and desires. Whether it's remembering details from past conversations or custom tailoring my services to meet their specific needs, adding personal touches shows that I care.
