InteleTravel agent lands £100k booking
InteleTravel agent Christine Etheridge received a huge Christmas boost by landing a booking worth over £100,000 for a group of over 50 Psychics.
The group is booked on a Royal Caribbean cruise next year.
Southampton-based cruise specialist Christine, who runs Complete Escapes, landed the booking after she was contacted by ‘Modern-day Mystic’ Kate May through her Facebook page.
This led to a meeting with the Psychic and fellow Medium Ann Thomas.
The pair, who were convinced they could encourage many of their followers to come with them, tasked Christine with finding a cruise and she recommended a five-night trip from Southampton on Independence of the Seas, calling at Hamburg and Zeebrugge.
So far, 52 cabins, including two with accessible facilities for wheelchair cruisers, have been booked by Christine, at a cost of £103,598, and she says more may join.
The mediums have set up a website, psychiccruise.co.uk, to answer any questions about the activities they will host on board and take money for the trip.
They then book the cruise through Christine, who is also on hand to answer any questions about cruising.
“It did take a long time to find the right date and duration of cruise to suit all requirements, because they initially wanted it to be longer,” said Christine.
“But we settled on a five-night trip and Independence of the Seas in September 2025 ticked all the boxes.”
“I have checked with Royal Caribbean about the group and they are very happy to host them. They will be discreet on board, working in closed groups and not involving other cruisers.”
The Psychics turned to Christine after being unhappy with a person who had booked a previous cruise for them.
“They wanted someone who can offer full financial protection and really understands cruising,” she said.
“I’ve been on 30 cruises in the past 10 or 11 years, so I’ve developed a real knowledge of the sector. Specialising in the sector has paid dividends.”
