Thomson Celebration will bow out of the Red Sea for waters new next year, handing the baton to Thomson Spirit. Thomson Celebration has operated the Red Sea Magic itinerary for two seasons, and has seen it continually growing in popularity.
Red Sea Magic takes in the warm waters of Sharm El Sheikh, the bustling bazaars of Cairo, the ancient wonders of Luxor, the beautiful beaches of Safaga and the awe-inspiring lost city of Petra and wild deserts of Jordan - a perfect blend of exploration and relaxation.

Thomson Cruises is heading back the Caribbean after an 8 year absence.
For winter 08/09, Thomson Destiny will be sailing from the Dominican Republic on two different seven night itineraries taking in a total of ten different islands each fortnight - unlike a number of cruise lines that feature 14/15 night itineraries. This allows passengers to enjoy not only the 14 night voyage, but also seven night cruises, and a wide variety of cruise and stay holidays in places such as Bavaro, home to some of the best beaches in the whole of the Caribbean. Islands include favourites such as Barbados, Antigua and St Lucia, as well as the lesser known St. Kitts, Guadaloupe, and St. Maarten.

I have been quiet for the last couple of weeks. The plan was to have a couple of weekends away, get out of London and relax. After spending so much time away last year shooting Unforgettable Islands to Escape to Before You Die (where I flew the equivalent of 7.5 times around the world) I have been taking things a lot easier this year. I guess I had forgotten just how stressful leaving home can be.
First weekend away, driving down to Bristol to see my parents. Less than 150 miles, motorways most of the way. We left on a quiet day, sailed out of London without seeing a traffic jam or a red traffic light. Things seemed to be going well until with just twenty miles to go the engine blew up. Ever seen a Formula 1 race when an engine blows? That was what it looked like. Clouds of smoke, no gear box, cruising in to the hard shoulder. Waiting with a baby at the side of the motorway for a tow truck!
