Having seen so many changes in the travel industry over the years we have carefully considered what are the most important factors for you the client when considering your holiday. Well many would say it is price, and we know this is important, but we believe there is so much more than that. It is down to being offered completely independent, impartial advice with the widest choice of holiday options. To ensure we book the holiday of your choice we won’t just use the brochures — we will also check with all leading airlines to find flights that depart at times convenient for you, match them with top value accommodation — all of which means more flexibility and prices that are often lower than those available in tour operator’s brochures.

My first job in travel was when I was just 18 years old and I worked for Lunn Poly Business Travel, But when I moved to Premier Travel in Cambridge, as business development manager, my role involved me more and more with the cruise market. Gaining more experience in other sectors of the trade was necessary, before stepping off on my own and I joined Fred Olsen Travel as cruise development manager. “The confidence to set up my own business came from the work I did at Fred Olsen’s. The company is part of a multi-million pound cruise empire and the hunger and knowledge to grow the business was everything I wanted. It was Christmas 2009 when I finally realised that I had accumulated all the background and knowledge to do it for myself. So it’s now been over 7 years since I launched Ponders Cruise and Travel and I am exceptionally proud of what we have achieved to date and my passion for Ponders and delivering superb service and holidays to all our clients is still as intense as the first day we launched.
