Let me show you cruising the Ambassador way πŸ’œ Straight from North Shields you can sail in style to the Norwegian fjords, France, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Portugal, Gibraltar and Belgium. This adults-only small ship can get you straight into the heart of the destinations.

With a maximum of 1200 guests on the Ambition you will get that personal touch, forget busy, crowded cruises. With spa access included in all fares which you won't find on many other ships. West end style entertainment and speciality restaurants and all at affordable prices.

There are two other ships in the fleet, one sailing from London Tilbury and the other based on the Caribbean both similar in size and style.

Until the end of September every booking will get onboard credit and Carribbean cruises have half price drinks packages.

Stay tuned for the cabin tours and pop over to my group Escape the Mundane on Facebook for the Ambassador cruise offers I have been featuring this week.

Summer holidays 2026, it's a wrap 🎬
The weather has been good to us and there has been a bunny hunt to keep us busy. We haven't been on any exotic holidays but we very much enjoyed our caravan holiday closer to home in the beautiful Northumberland countryside. I also managed to squeeze in a wedding, a new niece, silent discos, solar eclipse, football and a trip to Edinburgh!

Just a few of the highlights of the summer but don't get me wrong, it isn't always sunshine and rainbows, as with any family, then throw SEND into the mix!

Looking forward to getting back into routine and being able to work slightly more normal hours πŸ₯³

I hope you have all had a lovely summer, I would love to hear what your highlights have been.

A slightly different holiday to my usual bookings and how amazing does it look? My lovely customers went to Switzerland for a twin centre break with a week in Interlaken and then a few nights in Zurich. KLM flights from Newcastle with connecting flights in Amsterdam. The hotel was very helpful in making their stay special with a few special requests from me.

One of my lovely customers has not long returned from a short break in Menorca. The brief was a few days in the sun, all...

One of my lovely customers has not long returned from a short break in Menorca. The brief was a few days in the sun, all inclusive with short flights to maximise their few days of respite.

Just back from 2 nights at Cala Blanca Hotel
Lovely, well run hotel
Very helpful friendly staff
Maguette on reception helped us connect to hotel WiFi, neither of us are tech savvy
Everyone said, "You're welcome," "De nada."
One of the waitresses let me use her eclipse glasses to see the wonderful eclipse on Wednesday night
What an experience

Very clean, tidy, well presented and smells good too!

Great food/menu selection, not too sure about Vegan GF etc

The most beautiful hotel gardens, trees, flowers and shrubs everywhere really makes it stand out

Swimming pool a bit too deep for me, I'm, short so stayed in shallow end, I did swim a few widths
The have a chair to help those with mobility differences into the swimming pool which was ace
Plus a children's pool too

Small playground for little ones
Great activity team, Judith was lovely, I really enjoyed aqua aerobics with her
When I asked her for one more tune and water exercise she obliged happily

Drinks on reception - on arrival Pomada - local gin & lemonade tastes great, breakfast and evening dinner - Mimosa and Brut

They have a coin system which you use at the bar to get reusable plastic beakers for your drinks
Not overly impressed with the quality of the inclusive spirits and cocktails but soft drinks, w**e and l***r were all fine

The hotel kindly put a complimentary bottle of fizz in our hotel room to celebrate my husband's upcoming 60th birthday πŸŽ‚ as arranged by our wonderful independent travel agent Specialised Escapes for all your holiday needs, she's great
We've used her services several times, she's great, I highly recommend her, give her a follow
For all abilities
Check out her socials, well worth a follow

Very quiet area and, very chill, a place to relax and recharge
Just what we needed

Such beautiful, well kept surroundings green, luscious, relaxing environment

The sunsets are a must see

The local shops are a short walk to, close by is the coved beach which is small but totally gorgeous
The sea is clear
You can hire pedalos
So lovely to see families across the generations enjoying the hot Menorcan sunshine together

Several swimming pool bars and restaurants to visit
We went to Hola Alo and had the best Pina Coladas there, they kept going on and on, the gift that kept giving, totally delicious
Really nice ambience

Not a built up area, just right, no hassle and bustle, quiet, clean, tidy and respectful

There is a lovely local shop well stocked where we bought a few gifts for loved ones and I bought a fabulous green tie dye cover up
It's right behind the hotel plus a bus stop close by to take you on your adventures near and far

It was my 1st time in Menorca, my husband came 36 years ago
It's still an unspoilt island and has lots to offer

Would we come back - it's a yes from me and Hubby
Thank you and our lovely rep Rafael and for making our very short stay in Menorca so wonderful and memorable

I do this every year about a week before our holiday. At least one of the big supermarkets always delivers to where we are staying, no matter how far we are from the bigger towns. I get the first few days of food in, breakfasts, packed lunches and teas. We normally do something simple like pizza for the first night as no one wants to cook after a long day of driving and packing the car.

This year we were staying in a caravan and the Asda delivery driver rang me for directions when in the park. He was a lovely guy and wished us a good holiday.

Do you order your grocery shop on holiday already or will you be doing this next time?

Today we were kindly invited to watch the Newcastle United friendly by VisitMalta. We were treated to a lovely three course meal and a great view of the game.

So I have any Newcastle United fans?
