How long have you been working for Fred.\ River Cruises?

I started my career in travel back in 2009 working in reservations for Fred Olsen Cruise Lines. In 2010 I joined Fred Olsen Travel, where I have had a number of roles including Sales Consultant for Star Clippers & AmaWaterways, Reservations Manager, UK Sales Manager for AmaWaterways and now UK Sales Manager for Fred.\ River Cruises.

What, do you believe, makes river cruising unique?

River Cruising is a unique and growing holiday choice. It allows travellers to visit numerous cities, and countries while cruising in luxury with all of the on board cruise amenities you would expect. River cruising is all about the destinations you visit, you will often moor up in the heart of the city just steps away from the local markets, cathedrals and abbeys. On board, travellers are spoilt with wonderful local cuisine and surprisingly spacious cabins and public areas.

Which river cruise lines have you cruised with?

I have been lucky enough to sail on board a number of AmaWaterways ships, both on the Danube and the Rhine. I have also been on board Amadeus, Arosa, Avalon, Croisi Europe, Riviera, Scenic, Shearings, Tauck, The River Cruise Line and Uniworld. I have travelled with Far Horizons of India on the Brahmaputra River aboard the MV Mahabaahu. This was a completely different river cruising experience than in Europe and it was fantastic.

Are there any rivers or regions that you would particularly recommend?

I would recommend a cruise on the Danube sailing out of Budapest, a fantastic city and a real highlight seeing the parliament buildings by night.
