It's Nice To Meet You

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 26 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 I just love the city, while Florida is a place that keeps pulling me back, 14 times and counting. I’ve also visited several other North American cities from, Chicago, Boston, Washington, Miami, Nashville, 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. Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas, MSC World America, Grandiosa & Seashore and Norwegian Prima & 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 25 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 Irish Aviation Authority, licence No TA 621.

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

Celine

Universal Orlando: My Action‑Packed Stay Across the Ultimate Theme Park Hotels

Universal Orlando: My Action‑Packed Stay Across the Ultimate Theme Park Hotels

Universal Orlando has completely stolen my heart. From flying out in comfort with Aer Lingus to checking into fun, stylish hotels right on the doorstep of the parks, my latest trip was packed with thrills, lazy‑river moments and plenty of foodie highlights. In this blog I’m sharing my experiences of staying in Universal hotels, exploring Volcano Bay and making the most of perks like early park acc

Nashville, Music City!

United States

Nashville, Music City!

Nashville had been on my wish list for forever, so when I was invited to go I was over the moon. Getting There: Flying with British Airways We flew to Nashville with British Airways, one stop via London Heathrow. Terminal 5 was a dream, with an easy, stress‑free transfer between flights. Onboard, we were in World Traveller Plus, British Airways’ Premium Economy cabin. I was genuinely impressed w

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

If your family weekends are spent debating lap times, favourite drivers and team strategies, a Formula 1 break with the kids can be an unforgettable holiday rather than just a day at the races. For our own F1 adventure, we decided to keep things a complete surprise. We bundled the kids into the car for what they thought was a normal day out, drove straight to the airport and only told them at che

New York City with kids

New York City with kids

New York city never disappoints me, and it became a special destination for me and my family when I got married in Central Park in 2018. There is so much to see and do all year round in New York, but a really great time to come with kids is around thanksgiving which is the fourth Thursday in November. You have the amazing Macy’s thanksgiving parade which is a real spectacle and not to be missed.

Why Washington?

United States

Why Washington?

Why Washington? When clients think about a North American city break, the usual names come up first: New York, Boston, Chicago. But suggest Washington DC and you will instantly offer something a little different, without compromising on excitement, history or value. It is a city that consistently exceeds expectations. My husband and I recently enjoyed a 3‑night escape, flying direct with Aer Lin

Getting away just after Christmas is the best therapy you can get!

Spain

Getting away just after Christmas is the best therapy you can get!

Getting away just after Christmas really is the best kind of therapy. After the hustle and bustle, the mayhem and mischief, the stress and the laughter, a break between Christmas and New Year feels like pressing reset. My husband and I, along with our two young children, decided to escape to the beautiful, sunny Canary Island of Fuerteventura on 27 December. Even before we packed the car for the a

Tracey Maher Murray

Kildare

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!!
