Aspire Travel Named Luxury Travel Agency of the Year – Cambridge 2025

We’re absolutely thrilled to share some very special news…

Aspire Travel has been awarded Luxury Travel Agency of the Year – Cambridge 2025 by International Explorer. 🏆

For a proudly independent agency that started with a passion for people, places and proper service, this recognition means the world to us – because it’s not based on votes, popularity or who shouts the loudest online. It’s based on merit.

How we were chosen

International Explorer’s awards are decided using a rigorous, research-led process rather than public voting. Their team looks at:

• Innovation – how we design, package and deliver holidays, cruises and tailor-made itineraries in a way that feels fresh, personal and stress-free.

• Traveller engagement – the way we support our clients before, during and after travel, from that first “we’re thinking about going away…” chat to the “we’re home, it was amazing!” message.

• Sustainability – our commitment to promoting responsible travel options and partners who care about the impact we all have on the world.

• Market impact – our growth, reputation and contribution as a luxury and specialist travel agency in the Cambridge area and beyond.

• Creativity – the imagination and care that goes into each itinerary, whether it’s a multi-centre family adventure, a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon or an ultra-luxury escape.

They combine publicly available information with supporting evidence submitted by nominees, and then make an objective decision based on the strength of what they find.

Knowing that this award has come from that kind of detailed, independent evaluation

makes it even more meaningful.

What “Luxury Travel Agency of the Year” means to us

For us, luxury isn’t just about five-star hotels (though we love those too!). It’s about:

• The luxury of feeling looked after from the moment you get in touch.

• The luxury of time – letting us do the legwork, research and admin so you don’t have to.

• The luxury of confidence – knowing your holiday is financially protected, properly planned and supported by a real human being who cares.

• The luxury of personalisation – trips designed around you, not something copy-and-pasted from a brochure.

• 
  

Being named Luxury Travel Agency of the Year – Cambridge tells us we’re getting that balance right: blending expert knowledge, handpicked partners and genuine care for every client who walks through our door or sends us a message online.

A huge thank you to our clients

This award doesn’t just belong to us – it belongs to every single client who has trusted us with their:

• Family holidays

• Honeymoons and anniversaries

• Bucket-list trips

• Cruises and tours

• Last-minute escapes when you just needed to get away

Every conversation, every review, every recommendation to your friends and family has helped us grow into the business we are today.

From the bottom of our hearts: thank you.

We’ll share the trophy with you too!

We’ve been told there’s a rather lovely trophy on the way… and you can be sure that as soon as it arrives, we’ll be proudly sharing it with you across our social media and in the Travel Hub in Cottenham. 🏆

If you pop in, don’t be surprised if we insist you have a photo with it – after all, you’re a huge part of this achievement.
