Tailor-made holidays, plus ocean and river cruises, planned personally. From the first idea to the moment you’re home again.
A personal travel consultancy
“One person who knows your trip inside out: the hotel, villa or cabin you chose and why, the driver waiting when you land, the table reserved for your first evening.”
I’m Neil, and I founded Plume & Frost Travel, a small, personal consultancy. For years I’ve been the one family and friends turn to when a trip gets complicated: several countries, flights that have to connect, a ship to meet and everyone’s wishes woven into one plan. Putting those journeys together and seeing them come off perfectly is one of the things I love about travel, along with the people, sights, sounds, food and drink of different cultures.
Brazil holds a special place for me. I’ve travelled there, fallen for it, and Portuguese has become my second language (I’m still learning). Plume & Frost is my way of taking that love of travel, and everything I’ve learnt along the way, and using it to build the perfect journey for you.
