Say hello to Kerry who joined Cruise Nation this month as a Cruise Specialist, bringing with her 28 years of travel experience, including 15 years specialising in cruise holidays. We asked her to spill the tea!

Bucket List Destination?
"Japan. I'd love to visit because of the diverse culture, ride on the bullet train, see the snow monkeys, visit Mount Fuji, explore the temples and stay in a traditional Ryokan."

Favourite Destination?
"There are too many to choose from, but Banff is right up there. I love the Rocky Mountains and it's such a great base for exploring Lake Louise, Peyto Lake and the Icefields Parkway before heading to Vancouver to embark on an Alaska cruise."

Favourite Cruise Line?
"I've been lucky enough to sail on many cruise lines, but I love Royal Caribbean because of the amazing shows onboard, the variety of activities and the fantastic dining options."

Travel Background?
"I've worked in travel for 28 years, with the last 15 years specialising in cruise holidays."

Welcome aboard, Kerry!
