Penblwydd hapus, Ian! 🎂

It's a special day at Tailormade Escapes. It's Ian's birthday, so we're giving him the spotlight. Here he is in Mauritius, checking out hotels for our clients. Someone has to do it.

Ian spent years in hospitality before travel, and it has never left him. He still thinks like someone who wants every guest to leave happier than they arrived. These days the guests are our clients, and the table might be a suite in Mauritius or a balcony on a river cruise.

His vision for this business has always been simple: look after people properly. That means picking up the phone to suppliers he trusts, checking the details others miss, and building every holiday around what you actually want. It's why he'll happily spend half a day on one trip, and why our clients can reach him on WhatsApp while they're away.

He's also a fluent Welsh speaker and the 2025 National Eisteddfod Chief Baritone Solo winner, so if there's singing tonight, at least it'll be in tune.

Happy birthday, Thank you for everything you put into this business and into every client you look after 🥂

⭐️ Departing 11 May 2027

Set in subtropical gardens on the shores of Turtle Bay, overlooking a protected marine park, The Oberoi is all elegant pavilions, excellent dining and the kind of service it's famous for.

• Luxury Pavilion with Garden View
• Complimentary UK airport lounge passes*

✨Thinking about a cruise for
summer 2027? ✨

It might feel early, but the best July and August sailings, and the best cabins on them, tend to go first.

We've just booked our very own cruise with Oceania, as some of the offers around at the moment were too good for us to ignore.

We've helped our clients book over £500,000 worth of cruises, and we build the whole trip around the sailing, from flights and a hotel the night before to transfers and excursions.

Not sure which cruise would suit you? Comment CRUISE and we'll send you our free guide.

Booking with us costs you no extra.

✨HAPPY SUNDAY! AFTER ALL THESE STORMS, LET’S TALK ABOUT SMOOTH SAILING!✨

After a weekend of wind, rain and rather gloomy skies, we thought we’d brighten your Sunday with a little cruise inspiration!

Looking back through some of our own cruising memories certainly has us dreaming of blue skies, beautiful destinations and being back at sea.

And what a time it is to be thinking about a cruise!

October has been a HUGE month in the world of cruising. There are some incredible offers available, exciting new itineraries being announced, and cruise lines already opening bookings for 2028 and even 2029!

Here’s something you might not know about Tailormade Escapes…

Through our fantastic supplier relationships, we have access to over 45 cruise brands and trade partnerships, giving us an enormous choice of ships, destinations and experiences to offer our clients.

From luxury small ships and spectacular ocean cruises to intimate river journeys, expedition adventures and family cruising, there’s something for almost everyone.

And cruising is something we genuinely love ourselves!

We’ve sailed, explored ships, experienced different styles of cruising and visited some wonderful destinations along the way. We believe that firsthand experience, combined with our close relationships with cruise operators, really does make a difference when helping you find the right holiday.

But here’s where we can make things even easier…

We don’t just book cruises.

We can put together your entire holiday, including flights, pre- and post-cruise hotels, transfers, airport lounges and parking. Or, if you simply need the cruise itself, that’s absolutely fine too.

And whichever you choose, you’ll have the two of us personally looking after you, from your first enquiry until you’re safely home.

The same beautiful ships. The same incredible destinations. Just a much more personal way of booking.

So, while the weather outside does its worst, perhaps it’s time to start dreaming about your next adventure.

Here’s our Sunday question…

If you could wake up tomorrow morning aboard a beautiful cruise ship, where in the world would you love to be sailing?

We’d love to hear!

Ian & Rich
Tailormade Escapes
We make booking a holiday feel like a holiday.
