Port & Place
Travel, personally planned.
You can book travel almost anywhere these days. Port & Place simply gives you another way to do it.
Through our travel partners we can look across a broad range of trusted travel companies, help you understand the differences between the options and think about how the pieces of a trip fit together. A week in Tenerife or a multi-centre fly-cruise — the planning is personal either way, and you'll have someone to come back to afterwards.
Research your way. Plan it with us.
Start wherever you are.
You don't need to come to us with a blank page. Maybe you know exactly where you want to go. Maybe you've spent hours researching, shortlisted a few options or already found a holiday you like. You might even have used AI to create an itinerary. Wherever you've got to, bring us what you've found and we'll take it from there.
- Starting from scratch
Not sure where to go?
Tell us what you enjoy, when you'd like to travel and what matters to you. We'll help you explore the possibilities.
- Already researching
Got a few ideas?
Share your destinations, hotels, cruises or shortlist. We'll work with the research you've already done and help you narrow down the options.
- Already found something
Seen a holiday or cruise you like?
Send us the details, link or quote you've found. We'll explore what's available through our travel partners and see how we can help.
- Created an itinerary
Planned it with AI? Brilliant.
If you've used AI or another planning tool to create an itinerary, bring it with you. We can use it as a starting point and help turn the ideas into travel arrangements that can actually be booked.
Find your place
Not sure what kind of trip you're after?
Start with a feeling rather than a destination. Six ways to narrow down the kind of holiday that suits you — then we'll help with the rest.
Cruises
Find the ship, itinerary and style of cruising that's right for you.
Beach & Relaxation
Switch off somewhere worth escaping to.
City Breaks
A few days somewhere different can be all you need.
Long Haul
Go further and discover somewhere extraordinary.
Touring & Adventure
See more than one side of a destination.
Something Special
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons and unforgettable escapes.
A particular passion
Find your perfect way to cruise.
There's no single cruise experience. The right one depends entirely on who's travelling — different cruise lines, ships, itineraries and cabins can feel like completely different holidays.
Cruising is something we care about, and we keep up with it through ongoing learning, industry events and opportunities to understand different travel products properly.
- Ocean cruises
- Adults-only cruises
- River cruises
- Luxury cruises
- Expedition cruises
- Family cruises
- First-time cruising
How it works
Your holiday starts with a conversation.

A blank page, a destination, a quote, a shortlist or a complete itinerary. Bring us whatever you've got.

- 03
Find your trip
We'll help you make sense of the choices and find the trip that feels right.

More than 200 travel suppliers
More choice. More flexibility. Your trip, your way.
With access to more than 200 travel suppliers, including TUI, Jet2, easyJet and Virgin Voyages, we have plenty of options when planning your trip.
And we’re not limited to ready-made packages. Where appropriate, we can bring together flights, accommodation, cruises and transfers around your dates, preferred departure airport, requirements and budget.
You get the convenience of a personally planned holiday and one point of contact, without being restricted to the options from one tour operator or booking website.
Why personal service?
Booking a holiday can be easy. Choosing the right one can be harder.
Flights, fare types, luggage, hotel locations, room categories, board basis, ships, cabins, transfers, cancellation terms. Two holidays that look much the same on screen can turn out to be very different trips.
We'll help you understand those differences, work out what's worth paying for and bring the pieces together — then you'll still have someone to ask long after the booking is made.
