Meet Kelly
Hi I’m Kelly, a director here at Beverley Travel so travel is more than just a passion, it’s a whole way of life for me!
Cyprus holds a special place in my heart – the warm climate, friendly people, and incredible food have made it our go-to destination for family holidays over the years, and we’ve created some amazing memories there as a family.
One of our all-time favourite adventures was a trip to Australia in 2018 to watch Hull FC play. We explored Sydney, took in the sights, and visited the stunning Blue Mountains, before heading up to Cairns to experience the Great Barrier Reef – something I’ll never forget.
We completely fell in love with Australia and can’t wait to go back one day.
I have enjoyed many holidays and trips across Europe, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and America but have only travelled East once. I look forward to seeing more of this part of the world in the future.
My Top Tip: If travelling with family, make sure there’s something for everyone on the itinerary – and leave time for relaxing too. Some of our best memories came from doing nothing but enjoying each other’s company.

Kelly and Karl along with some of our amazing travel partners have just returned from our annual Cruise Conference on board Ambassador Cruise lines Ambience ship
You could say I fall into the ‘fairly new’ to cruise category, after a previous short stay on the lively Virgin Voyages Valiant Lady two years ago, followed by a summer holiday to the Greek Islands with Royal Caribbean last summer. I know I like the variety that cruise offers, with a new destination to explore each day, different restaurants to eat in each evening and enough entertainment throughout the days and nights to even keep a livewire like me entertained! But luxury cruising was a new one on me, and one that I was keen to experience! So, when I heard about MSC Group launching a new luxury brand, Explora Journeys, I knew I had to experience it for myself. β¨MSC doesn’t have a luxury capability currently, but I recognised that being owned by a family with the world’s largest shipping company could translate into something extraordinary. Fast forward to the February 2024, where I find myself on a plane to Barbados with my husband, embarking on an unforgettable journey aboard the inaugural ship, EXPLORA I. DISCOVERING THE ELEGANCE UPON EMBARKATIONβ¨ As we boarded EXPLORA I, the ship’s elegant design immediately caught my attention. Every detail exuded luxury, from the sleek interiors to the impressive central bar. Our Ocean view terrace exceeded expectations, offering a divine bathroom, a huge king bed, living space, and a terrace with day bed and table and chairs. So many little details have been included in each terrace to enhance the experience, from a stocked mini bar and a coffee machine to a separate dressing area with a Dyson hairdryer and leather-lined clothing rails, there are touch es everywhere that add to the luxurious feel. What truly sets the suite apart is the overall design, which fosters relaxation and indulgence. It truly felt like a home at sea. On arrival, each suite has the lovely touch of an iced bottle of Champagne, enjoying the room service on our terrace whilst drinking the complimentary Moet whilst we sailed away really was the most special way to start our holiday. CULINARY DELIGHTSβ¨ The exceptional food is one aspect of EXPLORA I that left a lasting impression on me. From the Emporium Marketplace concept, which transformed the ordinary cruise buffet into an elegant dining experience where I enjoyed unlimited lobster tails and freshly cooked garlic prawns, to the other restaurants such as Fil Rouge, Med Yacht Club, Marble & Co. Grill and Sakura, with their outstanding interiors and diverse menus. Sakura, in particular, surpassed expectations with its sensational sushi (in my opinion the best at sea), and Marble & Co was also exceptional, with my husband devouring the largest Porterhouse I’ve ever seen! With the option to dine in restaurants as many times as you like, the hosts allowed us additional visits to our favourite culinary venues without a reservation. I must emphasise the variety and flexibility in the dining options, making Explora Journeys a perfect choice even for picky eaters. The 24-hour room service mentioned above also sets this ship apart. The range of foods available, all served quickly and at the right temperature, along with drinks to accompany really added a special experience. There is no additional charge for this service, it was truly incredible. THE POOLS THAT STAND OUTβ¨ One design feature that captivated me on EXPLORA I was the innovative pool design. Given the two sea days included at the end of our itinerary, we got to fully experience the glorious sunshine on the contemporary, almost hotel-like design of the pools. Surrounded by large daybeds and strategically positioned to maximise the breathtaking views, these pools create a perfect ambience for relaxation and indulgence. Service as ever was impeccable, with hosts discreetly noticing when our drinks needed refilling, and always remembering what we were drinking, nothing ever seemed too much trouble. THE DIFFERENCEβ¨ If you’re wondering where Explora Journeys sits in the luxury cruise market, rest assured it holds its own against other industry favourites. Exceptional service, culinary offerings, and innovative designs make it a fit for existing clients of those luxury brands. However, I believe that Explora Journeys would also be particularly appealing to those who enjoy staying in luxury hotels. With its emphasis on design, comfort, and personalised service, Explora Journeys offers a more intimate and unique way to experience the world that is sure to captivate even those who are new to cruising. My adventure aboard EXPLORA I with Explora Journeys was truly remarkable. β¨The ship's graceful design, flawless service, mouth-watering cuisine, and thoughtful details have made a lasting impression on me. If you're in search of a luxurious ocean voyage that goes above and beyond, I would highly recommend Explora Journeys. Set sail on EXPLORA I and prepare for a journey that will elevate you to new levels of indulgence and luxury.
