Hi, my name is Celine and I live in Newbridge, Co. Kildare, but grew up in the beautiful seaside village of Laytown, Co. Meath. I have worked in the travel industry for over 20 years and still thrive on the pure happiness and enjoyment a holiday can bring to my customers. I believe my job is more than recommendation and advice, but a form of therapy. Travel is extremely therapeutic – it can increase your energy levels, help you think better and clearer, and make you happy – all the ingredients of an active and healthy mind.

I have always had the travel bug and love to explore new and exciting destinations, but I do have some guilty pleasures like Florida and New York where I keep going back! I got married in Central Park, New York and just love the city, while Florida is a place that keeps pulling me back, 9 times and counting. I’ve also visited several other North American cities from, Chicago, Boston, Washington, Miami, San Francisco, and Las Vegas to name just a few. Planning North American adventures has been a specialty of mine for over a decade. I love nothing more than combining a cruise with your American adventure and I have been fortunate to have visited over 10 Caribbean islands while on many different cruises include some of biggest and most modern cruise ships in the world. Symphony of the Seas, MSC Bellissima and Norwegian Bliss are just some of the more recent ones I had the pleasure of enjoying. I’ve been lucky to work and live in Canada for a year, travel extensively throughout Europe, while also visiting South Africa, Australia, and the middle east.

I have organised and travelled with medium to large sports groups, including several GAA teams to North America, as well as some Irish international teams.

With over 20 years’ experience in the travel business, I have gained a vast range of expertise, ranging from that North American road trip, cruising, safari’s, almost every European city, beach or ski resort, the list goes on. And more importantly is the experience of travelling with children. As a mother of 2, I know what it’s like, but can offer some useful tips and advice to make your trip less stressful and more memorable.

I take great pride in getting to know my customers and really understanding their requirements and offer a truly personalised service which is why Travel Counsellors is a natural fit for my business. With Travel Counsellors, we ensure you are always financially protected as we are licensed and bonded in Ireland with the Commission for Aviation Regulation.

So, if you are looking at your next family adventure, dream honeymoon, bucket list destination or just looking for a little travel therapy, give me a call.

Customer Story 11

Celine's travel advice and expertise was excellent. She provided us with a suitable destination for our group holiday and it was excellent value too!

Tracey Maher Murray, Kildare
Customer Story 12

We had an absolutely wonderful experience booking our honeymoon through Celine. It is a very big holiday, a once in a lifetime experience that couples dream about. Celine's knowledge and skills directed us to the perfect location, Cancun, Mexico. A destination that has something for everyone. We had a couple of unforeseen issues while on holidays and Celine was contactable throughout. If something is to happen when abroad, be it a health issue, an airport issue, a stolen or a lost property issue, it is very rare to have someone at the other end of the line when you need them for advice etc. If we had booked through an online agency that closes their office at 5pm and at weekends we would have found ourselves in real bother. Celine was reachable for our entire holiday and helped us our considerably in any way she could and we won't forget her kindness. Absolutely amazing service! Thank you Celine!!

Lights out, and away we go, with the kids!

Celine's blog, 20/05/2022

A formula one trip with the kids is not your usual sporting event to enjoy with the family, but when the kids are invested into the sport as much as the adults, it’s a perfect holiday. We surprised our kids, by driving to the airport without them knowing they were going on a plane, and off we flew into Barcelona. We stayed 40 minutes north of Barcelona in a beautiful campsite called Camping Enmar in the small resort of Pineda de Mar. Pineda de Mar sits in between the larger and busier resorts of Calella and Santa Susanna in the...
