Ultimate Destinations was established in 1994 by Alan Haynes who wanted to utilise his many travel experiences to create a travel agency with a difference. We specialise in cruise, luxury holidays and we also have a corporate division. The theme of experience has been extended with all of our consultants having worked in travel for at least 20 years.

Ultimate Destinations is a member of the Hays Independent Group and are licenced by ABTA (K4439). Being a part of the Hays Group allows us to retain our independence, but still take advantage of their excellent commercial terms which lets us offer you excellent value holidays in a very competitive market. We work with Tour Operators that we know have high standards of service where nothing is too much trouble. We will ask for an upgrade on your accommodation as a matter of course and naturally we will ensure you are paying the right price for your holiday.

The company re located to its current premises in Chorleywood, near Rickmansworth on the 1st November 2004. Chorleywood was voted the most desirable place to live in the UK by two national newspapers, and with some really great shops it is a fantastic location for a quality travel agency. Come and visit our modern, air-conditioned office to chat about your holiday plans and whilst you’re in Chorleywood take a walk around the common, enjoy browsing the unique shops in the village and enjoy a coffee at Manna, a delicatessen based right next door to our premises.

We hold a number of customer events during the year and all proceeds go to the NSPCC our charity of choice. Sign up for our regular newsletter for full details.
