Our Logo

You may notice that our logo incorporates a stylised Arctic tern, whose marathon migrations cover pole to pole, rather like our holidays.

Personal Service

We have an unusually high staff to passenger ratio so we can spend more care and attention on each booking. We won't try and sell you a holiday that you don't want - in fact if you can't find exactly what you're looking for on the website, our staff will tailor the holiday to your needs. They'll offer clear, concise and honest advice. You can come and see us, telephone or fax us or send an email.

Book Direct

Other than in exceptional circumstances and by prior agreement, we do not accept bookings through travel agents. Any saving in travel agents' commission is invested in our first rate service, in-depth brochures and back up information.

Book with Confidence and Security

We are licensed and bonded by the Civil Aviation Authority under ATOL 2896 for the financial protection of air holidays. We are members of the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) and the Association of Independent Tour Operators (AITO). In addition, we have a bond with AITO Trust Ltd, the organisation set up by the Association of Independent Tour Operators for your financial protection. In order to hold these licenses and memberships, we have to continually satisfy the rigorous standards of all these organisations, and in addition, provide a number of bonds - all of which protects the money you have paid us, come what may!

Your Photos and Travel Stories

It’s great to get feedback from our clients about how their trip went. Sometimes this is in the form of diary entries and photographs, which we try to include on our website, e-newsletter or in our brochure with their permission of course. If you too would be interested in sharing your adventure and particular highlights with us please email travelstory@discover-the-world.co.uk.
