Dianne Cox

Personal Travel Advisor

Travel has always been part of who I am. I have over 36 years of experience in the travel industry, and it remains a true passion of mine. My expertise stretches across different aspects of travel, from well-known High Street Travel Agents, specialist tour operating, tailor-made holidays, and business travel, where I have worked as both a consultant and in management roles. I have also lived and worked abroad, which always offers the true experience of any destination.

Cruising is a huge part of my life, giving me the opportunity to visit so many destinations in one trip and explore countries and towns that I never thought I would get to visit. I love passing on this information and helping customers find that dream trip or experience that they have always wanted to do. My enthusiasm for cruising has led me to become a member of CLIA, holding a Masters Certificate, and has given me extended knowledge of different ocean cruise lines.

Being a Silver Traveller myself, I joined Silver Travel Advisor in 2023 in the hope of passing on my honest advice to like-minded customers who are looking for that alternative type of holiday, whether it be touring, cruising, multi-centre, or tailor-made bucket-list trips.

Get to know me

I have over 36 years of experience in the travel industry and in travelling itself.

There are so many to choose from but my outstanding ones are Alaska, Australia and the Caribbean.

Japan, South America, African Safari and New Zealand are on the list but with so many places to explore, it’s hard to decide

My motto is ‘life is too short and should be grabbed with both hands and enjoyed’. The world is a small place and is there to be discovered!

My areas of expertise

  • Tailor-made Itineraries I really enjoy applying my knowledge to tailor-made holidays and making a customer’s dream trip become an exciting reality. I have a great knowledge of the USA, having driven from east to west and north to south several times, as well as visiting independent states for different holidays; especially Florida.
  • Turkey and Spain I have lived in both countries and spent time travelling around each country experiencing many of their resorts and cities, as well as passing through the traditional villages and towns. I also spent a season working on the beautiful island of Ibiza.
  • Cruising I travel with my husband to as many destinations as I can on cruises. I love the advantage of visiting places that can be expensive or challenging to reach on their own, while enjoying the comforts of a cruise ship and having a mode of transport that takes you there while you sleep!
