As a travel agent, we have embraced ‘hosted journeys’ for over twenty years. We started with our ‘Voyager Club’ aimed at domestic coach holidays throughout the country, with many of the popular operators, before branching out with our own offering – Athena Holidays nearly ten years ago. 

Whilst these are now behind us, we still firmly believe that the core of what was achieved with both Voyager and Athena Holidays is key to how we travel now, and a platform to help those who either like to travel in a social group, or those who gain confidence when travelling with a known group who wouldn’t otherwise want to on their own. 

We would love you to meet WithYou. A new social travel group, where the clue is in the title, we travel with you. This could be an escorted journey, a river cruise, an ocean cruise or something even more exotic, but we’re focusing on the more unusual and places you have always wanted to go to.

This isn’t just about a social group, one that you know and feel comfortable around, but to help those who wouldn’t ordinarily travel, especially if on your own, and don’t have the confidence to travel on your own. Or it could be that that you’re a long time carer and appreciate the company of others, or maybe a widow and you’re looking to travel for the first time. We’ll endeavour to have social dining for example where we can.

On this short cruise, we stop off in the Isles of Scilly, such a popular group of islands off the Cornish coast. With additional stops at Guernsey, and the French mainland. Given the Isles of Scilly is an expensive destination in the height of the summer, this is a great opportunity to experience St Mary’s for yourself at the most popular time of year.
