The Cruise Holidays of Clarkson team has been amazing to work with. Cathy and I were among their first customers when they first opened and having met them, we never felt the need to book our vacations with anyone else. They all work as a team and we knew we were in the best care with them. Thank You Team Clarkson!
Tom and Cathy S, Mississauga
We have travelled in groups several times and this group was the most cohesive and friendly one so far. That has a lot to do with the hosts and how they handle the guests and the logistics of the trip. They didn’t miss a beat. Loved the local music evenings-great touch.We would highly recommend Cruise Holidays of Clarkson for their professionalism and friendly approach.
Bob & Heather P, Mississauga
Our tour of Israel and Jordan was remarkable…being able to attend the performance of La Traviata at the foot of Masada– WOW, spectacular. Thank you for arranging this unforgettable experience for us. We will never forget it!
Judy & Chester B, Toronto
So glad you are surviving this challenging COVID time in our lives, it takes a lot of courage and optimism to hang in there when roadblocks keep getting in the way. We are eagerly awaiting word on vaccines and lifts on travel bans etc. Have a lot of travel catching up to do and look forward to your Zoom presentations. You have spoiled us with your attention to detail and interesting itinerary in Morocco, we won’t travel with anyone else now. All the best to you and your staff.
Ken & Sharon N, Mississauga
Our cruise in Australia and New Zealand and all the private excursions you put together were excellent. We will never forget our tour in the rain forest and our early morning walk to see the sunrise in Uluru, spectacular. And the dinner in the outback under the stars, wow, brings tears to my eyes even now after all these years. Thank You!
Juliette L, Etobicoke
Thank you for the beautiful Danube cruise and all the concerts you arranged for us along the way. Our personal favourite: the concert performed by the violinist in Belgrade, beautiful music and people. Well done!
Lidia & Joshua B, Burlington
The Music on the Rhine was our first trip with you more than a decade ago. We never booked any of our trips with anyone else. Why would we? Your team is remarkable, and you do an excellent job. Keep up the good work!!
Bob and Mary L, Pickering
Thank you for putting together the most wonderful trip of Italy for my family. All the amazing hotels you picked for us and the private excursions, all really well thought out and executed. We will always remember it, Thank You!
Sandra G, New York
Thank you for arranging such a wonderful trip for us. The accommodations, both on the river ship and hotels were first class. Great food and company, and the cultural experience was beyond our expectations.

Zaneta shares that …
As hard as it is to pick one favourite destination experience, her fondest memories are of a private concert she had arranged for one of our classical music groups aboard a galijun ship in Dubrovnik. She had hired Dubrovnik’s symphony orchestra to perform for while the ship was anchored alongside Dubrovnik’s City Walls…to this date, clients can’t stop talking about the unique experience the natural acoustics the walls provided, the shimmering sunlight and the soothing waves of the Adriatic Sea as they sipped on cocktails while enjoying Mozart and Beethoven’s timeless tunes being performed by excellent musicians.

His favourite travel experience is the picnic he and his group enjoyed on their safari in South Africa. Just before sunset, they went for a late afternoon game drive and just before the sun dipped below the horizon, they stopped at a secluded spot to enjoy cocktails while taking in this most unique unforgettable travel experience! It is moments like this that make travelling unique and creates lifelong memories!

“With so many wonderful travel experiences and adventures, it is too hard to choose one favourite place! They all have their own unique cultures and beauty, although I do have to say, Europe has a part of my heart! How can you tire of all the history, beautiful landscapes, centuries-old architecture, and the special social way of life! I revel in the way the towns & villages come to life each morning with locals gathering to share a morning coffee in the cafes along the square, and then later in the day, joining together again for lunch or that end of day aperitif!
One of my most treasured memories of a European trip was hosting our agency group on the Rhine River with a few days of touring Milan before embarking. The absolute highlight of Milan was experiencing a live performance of the opera “VIOLA” at the infamous La Scala! I will never forget this …
Recent travels to Europe included Holland and seeing the beautiful Tulips blooming all over Holland and Belgium, along with the visit to the Keukenhof gardens were highlights of the trip.
On the opposite side of the globe…..Chile is a country which I found truly vibrant and energetic! From the city of Santiago, to the Southern tranquil area of Puerto Natales and Patagonia where I visited Torres del Paine National Park, Chile was amazing! In particular visiting the Serrano Glacier, one of many glaciers in this Southernmost tip of Chile, was incredible.”

All destinations she has been to have become favourites, as they all have something unique unto themselves, making them each special and memorable. Her particular favourites however include anywhere in the UK with a special emphasize on London. Even having been several times over the past few years, she says that there is still so much more to see, and looks forward to returning soon.
Another favourite is Barcelona where the energy is so vibrant that she says she would like to stay forever and soak it all in! Then there is Jordan, known for Petra and Wadi Rum that also captured her heart. Tokyo for its unique blend of ancient traditions and iconic landmarks was equally impressive! Then there is Ljubljana (Slovenia) -a small city she fell in love with as it was so easy to walk with its unique town centre, and an abundance of outdoor restaurants, and markets. This was part of a Croatia trip, sailing along the Dalmatian Coast which was an amazingly beautiful and unforgettable adventure. She could go on and on ….

Beverley Vickers
Group Planning & Marketing Assistant
Beverley’s relationship started with Clarkson Travel over 15 years ago when she handled top producing accounts for Regent Seven Seas Cruises as their Director of Sales & Marketing for Canada. She worked closely with Clarkson to develop their business into the successful agency it is today and upon retiring from Regent in 2024 jumped at the opportunity to continue working with the agency on a part time basis to lend her expertise in cruise marketing.
Beverley’s love affair with everything ocean started at only 6 weeks old when she was taken to visit her Uncle who held the position of Navigator on the QE2! It’s fair to say that she has cruising and the sea in her blood as her Grandfather was also a Commander of a shipping fleet!
Knowing she wanted to work in the travel/cruise business led her to study languages at university and shortly after graduation she spent several years working at sea as a Cruise Director and Shore Excursion Manager. Returning home to marry and have a family, she sought a sales & marketing position with Princess Cruises/Cunard and ultimately ended her 30 + year in the cruise industry with Regent Seven Seas Cruises – truly the cherry on the top!
Having travelled extensively for both work and vacation, Beverley loves being part of the group itinerary planning process and then bringing those trips to life by creating the gorgeous Clarkson Travel brochures and emails you receive today!
Beverley’s Most Memorable Travel Experiences & Destinations
France/Monaco will always be her absolute favourite countries with Italy and Spain very close seconds! Any conversation or photo of the Mediterranean lights up her eyes!
Her absolute best memories are:
Monaco:
Attending the inauguration ceremony of Regent’s Seven Seas Explorer, outside in the harbour of Monte Carlo where Andrea Bocelli serenaded the crowd followed by fireworks! What a magical place and what a magical night that was!
France/Italy:
A driving trip from Provence to Tuscany ending with a week in a villa with a group of friends to celebrate a milestone birthday was incredible! Visiting wineries and attending an authentic cooking school in Montepulciano was such fun and waking to see Sunflowers, Lavender, and Cypress trees lining the driveways of the countryside was magical!
Croatia:
She would be remiss not to mention the wonderful trip she and her husband did to mark another milestone birthday … the Adriatic Adventure private motor yacht experience for 2 weeks offered by Clarkson Travel! Delving deep into the countryside of Slovenia and Croatia and sailing into the beautiful bays and islands of the Adriatic was extraordinary! She would do this every year!
And so much more …. South Africa, Jordan, Israel …. so many wonderful experiences in this magical world of ours!
