Grahame Mizen - Performing Groups Specialist
Having been in the Dance industry for over 16 years, I began to look at how performing arts schools could give their pupils the opportunity to perform on Cruise Ships. 16 years later, and over 50 cruise holidays myself, we have a very good understanding of performing at sea. I’ll be the 1st person you meet as I’m the chap that will present the wonderful Razz at sea opportunity to your families at their studio!
Millie Windeler - Senior Travel Consultant
I have worked for Ponders Travel since 2016 and almost exclusively with our groups since the very first day. While my roles have changed since then and now focus more on general sales along with the initial set up of the groups, I know MSC and the groups process like the back of my hand and am available five days a week for any questions or assistance you may have! Everyone at Ponders would be delighted to help you with any of your group needs but your main contacts will be Stephanie and Megan who as a team expertly handle the administration and booking of your groups. Plus, they can assist with the addition of flights, hotels, transfers, insurance, car parking, excursions, and anything else to truly personalise your holiday.
Stephanie Dorling - Groups Administration Consultant
I came here from Premier Holidays after 15 years, mainly dealing with Short Haul Groups travelling to Channel Islands (Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and Herm), Isle of Man, Isle of Wight and Isle of Scilly. Alongside this I helped out in normal reservations specialising in USA, Canada, and Caribbean and Cruise. My own holidays and work trips have taken me to Bangkok, Koh Samui, Maldives, St Lucia, Washington DC, Las Vegas, Houston, San Antonio, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, South of France, Lisbon, Budapest, Amsterdam, Dominican Republic and I used to live in Germany until I was 10 but can’t speak a word of the language!
