e are at the start of a new year which, we hope, will bring a return to doing what we all love – to travel and discover new, exciting places. No-one needs reminding of the challenges of recent years and how valuable time is in the company of our family and friends.

With that in mind, this is the perfect time to plan your next holiday with them. And who better to do this with than Baldwins Travel?

We are thrilled to say Baldwins Travel was awarded the prestigious title of High Street Travel Agency of the Year for the South-East in 2022. Another accolade we are delighted to have received.

It is a testament to the hard work of the entire team –all of whom can provide an unparalleled insight into the destinations you are dreaming of visiting.

We regularly send members of the team to visit new places around the world in order to offer you valuable first-hand experiences.

Recent highlights have been to the likes of Costa Rica and Thailand, while we’ve also boarded the inaugural cruises of ships with the likes of Celebrity Cruises and Royal Caribbean.

It’s not just our staff we’ve sent to exotic climes. Last year, we gave away two cruises and are in negotiations to give away yet more holidays during 2023. Keep an eye out on our website and social media channels for further information over the coming months.

In addition to our highly successful eight holiday shops, we also have a truly inspirational Corporate Travel department –perfect for those organising trips away for work.

It already deals with clients in sectors such as pharmaceutical, manufacturing, law and sustainability to name but a few.

If your company needs the personal touch and the reassurance that someone can help with your company’s flights, hotels and car hire please do get in touch.

For your peace-of-mind, we continue to be members of ABTA and will only book with tour operators that have an ATOL licence, so you can rest assured all your bookings are financially protected.

EXPLORE THE FJORDS Norway

If you’re planning a trip to Norway, visiting the fjords should be top of your list. Norway has 29,000km of coastline when you include its fjords (it’s estimated that there are anything between 1,200 to 1,700 fjords dotted along Norway’s coast) – but if you don’t include the fjords, there’s only around 2,500km of coastline.

What better way to explore them than on a Norwegian fjords cruise, expertly designed to help you experience the spectacular scenery of this other-worldly setting

Cruising with Fred. Olsen into the heart of the fjordland is the best way to appreciate the stunning scenery of this breathtaking part of the world. Fred. Olsen handcraft their Norwegian fjords cruises to showcase the very best of these enchanting destinations and natural wonders, taking advantage of their extensive Norwegian heritage and smaller ships ready-made for navigating size-restricted waterways, to bring awe-inspiring destinations closer to you.

What’s more, Fred. Olsen believe the journey is as important as the ports themselves and with their Scenic Discoveries, you’ll be able to experience the beauty of the Fjords from the open decks of your ship.

So, whether you’re embarking on your first exciting foray into the fjords, or returning – like many others – for another exploration of this astonishing region, you’ll find that the captivating beauty of Fred. Olsen’s homeland is as special as it gets.

The Norwegian Fjords transform through the seasons. In spring the

air is beautifully clear; the green foliage is bright and the waterfalls are at their most mighty – perfect for nature lovers. Summer is the perfect time to enjoy Norway’s landscapes when they are at their greenest, and the longer days mean you’ve ample time for Scenic Discoveries and time ashore.

Arctic cruises offer an eclectic mix of experiences; any passion for scenery, natural beauty and wildlife is easily satiated in breath-taking landscapes witnessed on an Arctic voyage. The opportunity to catch a glimpse of whales, manatees, seals or a multitude of bird life adds to the Arctic’s distinct personality.

Of course, all of this can be eclipsed by experiencing two extraordinary natural phenomena unique to the region – continuous days beneath the enigmatic midnight sun, or a dazzling encounter with the elusive Northern Lights.

And with Fred. Olsen’s Norwegian heritage and knowledge of these waters, you can rest assured that you’ll journey the most scenic routes.

Jamaica is the third largest island in the Caribbean and lies just south of Cuba. This is an island that boasts something for everyone – with every type of accommodation, hundreds of miles of unspoilt, quiet beaches and a colourful cultural and cosmopolitan heritage. Jamaica is widely considered to have the most stunning landscapes to explore.

Visitors are drawn to Jamaica not only for its scenery, its beaches, grand hotels, superb all-inclusive resorts and laid-back inns, but because there is so much more to do there.

Jamaica boasts more attractions (169) than the rest of the Caribbean put together. Soft adventure lovers and thrill-seekers are in heaven in this part of the Caribbean.

Thrill-seeking families can enjoy fantastic activities with adventure companies such as Chukka Caribbean Adventures, offering river tubing and kayaking, 4x4 off-road safaris and even a Jamaican dog-sled experience complete with local rescue dogs.

The fun doesn’t stop there, as those with a taste for heights

can ride to the top of Mystic Mountain on the Rainforest Sky Explorer before flying through the tree tops on the Rainforest Zip-line Tranopy. And if that’s not enough, a pulse-quickening bobsleigh ride that races through the forest ‘Cool Runnings’ style, with only a handbrake for comfort, is an absolute must.

Relax the pace on horseback through some of Jamaica’s most scenic and historic areas before the guides unsaddle the horses for an exhilarating sea ride. Yes, horse riding in the Caribbean Sea!

Although Jamaica is known for her chilled atmosphere, the sounds reggae, the taste of jerk cooking and the warm, friendly smiles of the locals make you realise that this is an authentic destination, not designed but grown naturally. Add to this, several world-class golf courses, charming old plantation houses and tiny villages dotted through the majestic Blue Mountains, (where they grow the best coffee in the world), all in a relaxed atmosphere and you’re jammin!
