Nickson Travel

From the lagoon of Bora Bora to the ice of Svalbard, Annika Nickson plans honeymoons as individual as you are, and every booking helps fund rewilding projects. One of the first 20 TTG Sustainable Travel Ambassadors in the UK, a certified Tahiti Tourism specialist and an expedition cruise aficionado, she runs Nickson Travel, an independent, boutique travel agency based in Newbury, Berkshire, with customers across the UK (and beyond). Every couple works with Annika directly, from the first conversation until they're home again. There's no call centre and no being passed between consultants. Instead, one person gets to know you, your wish list and the bucket list experiences you and your partner have been saving for the most important trip of your lives.The Islands of Tahiti (otherwise known as French Polynesia)

These islands are one of Annika's passions. Bora Bora is the ultimate honeymoon destination for good reason, but there is so much more to discover across five archipelagos spread over an area the size of Western Europe, from the peaks of Moorea and the vast lagoon of Rangiroa to the remote, culture-rich Marquesas. Annika loves introducing couples to the islands' lesser-visited places and combining them with the classics at a pace that suits the trip.

For couples who want something out of the ordinary

If your idea of a honeymoon is less sun lounger and more adventure, Annika is in her element. As a member of the Expedition Cruise Network and a Polar Pro trained advisor, she plans expeditions to Antarctica, the Arctic, the Galápagos and beyond, with wildlife-friendly experiences at the heart of every trip. With nearly 20 years in heritage before she moved into travel, she also loves journeys steeped in history, architecture and culture. That might mean sailing the Nile, exploring ancient Greece, discovering Chicago, the birthplace of the skyscraper (and one of Annika's favourite destinations), or going beyond the resorts to spend time with indigenous communities and really understand the places you visit.

Or simply time together

If what you want is a beautiful resort, a cocktail in hand and nothing to think about but each other, Annika is here for that too. She takes care of the details, so you don't have to.

Travel that gives back

Responsible travel runs through everything Nickson Travel does. Annika is a founding member of the Responsible Travel Advisor Collective and a signatory of World Animal Protection's Wildlife-Friendly Pledge. She has been shortlisted for several national travel awards, including ATAS Champion of Change, Travel Weekly Sustainable Travel Champion, TTG's Top 20 Luxury Responsible Travel Agency and, three times, TTG Top 50 Responsible Travel Champion. Your honeymoon can be extraordinary and still be planned with care. Even better, bookings made through Nickson Travel contribute to rewilding projects through its partnership with Mossy Earth.
