Gregorz:diary The social diary of a bear (􏰀1⁄4 inches tall)
Hi there Peeps!
I always love catching up with the King of the Villas, Iain Raeper from ONEE because I get to go to my favourite ice cream parlour! Great to hear that the trade is embracing the product and getting behind it with strong sales
due to the fantastic quality and choice available. And guess what? Because
I am such a special bear, they have done me the huge honour of naming a Croatian villa after little ol’ me!
Azamara ship on your holibags! Lee, Stuart and Liz did an immense job in your absence. All four of their vessels really do have a unique style, look
and feel about them. Combine this with great service, facilities, food and entertainment and it makes the perfect choice for a quality cruise experience.
The agents on board were really impressed by what they saw and it’s no surprise that Azamara gets so much of its business and sales from the trade which they greatly value and thanked everyone for.
Their attention to detail and staffff service is second to none. Check out Alli’s great column in Travel Matters every month for info on how to sell more Fred. Olsen!
Mr Loganair, Greig White (my BFF) popped over to see me. He had some pressies for his pal and ‘wee man’. Aren’t I one lucky and popular bear!
As if I didn’t have enough designer clothes, I am now the proud owner of my very own Loganair T-shirt and walk- on branded aircraft hand luggage.
Yes, that’s right - my very own named property! So, check it out at Villa Gregorz - ONEE Luxury Travel. It is
a stunning (as you would expect) 􏰁 bed/4 bathroom property near Korcula. I am so proud, thank you Iain and ONEE. Just let me know when I am needed to go over to cut a ribbon and make a speech!
I was delighted when ‘Alli G’ - Fred. Olsen’s lady in the north - invited me on board their beautiful ship Balmoral. I was welcomed with the signature Fred. Olsen white glove service of tea and pastries - a totally fab way to start the visit! Balmoral sails regularly from the rivers Tyne and Forth on hugely popular cruises and it’s no wonder why.
That’s me for another month. See you soon.
Can’t wait to fly again with the airline to show my new clothes off and be the envy of all the other passengers. They have so many new fantastic destinations to choose from and I will need to start making my wish list!
Always a special treat when I get an invitation to join Azamara on one of their ships. Nikki, you were missed as you sunned yourself on another
