Bespoke Honeymoon

Anyone know any good website or travel companies that can help with a bespoke honeymoon - by bespoke i mean we want to do three different locations.

I have found http://www.turquoiseholidays.co.uk/ and http://www.kuoni.co.uk/en/pages/default.aspx.

Just wondering if anyone knows of any others.

Many thanks.

    Have used Kuoni a number of times (Not honeymoons!!) and found them excellent.

    Also worth trying Cox and Kings

    What are the 3 different locations? Do you mean 3 different continents, or locations within a specific destination?

    Both below companies are good, Kuoni are more mainstream.

    I am looking at Hong Kong, Fiji, and maybe one other destination in Asia, not sure which one yet, maybe Singapore of something, over 2 weeks.

    So was thinking fly from London to Hong Kong and stay for 4 nights, then to Fiji for 5 nights and then back to Asia for 3 nights and back home. Nor sure if all that is possible however!

    Thats a very long way to travel for that duration, the Fiji leg of the journey. Your looking at 10.5 hours from Hong Kong to Fiji the carrier I think does the route is Air Pacific

    I would maybe consider something else in Asia, maybe Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and Lankawi/Penang

    Many options to look at in the Far East

    Thanks

    Fiji can be good as part of a RTW trip but would need longer than 2 weeks.

    What month is the honeymoon likely to be in?

    As Del says, it's a long way. In fact, it's a 10 hour flight from HKG to Fiji.

    However, it's feasable. I know that Cathay Pacific have an add-on fare from Hong Kong on the 3 times a week service, which means you could probably do it for around £800 a head. However, you then have to double back to go to wherever you want to go elsewhere in Asia.

    I'd personally say, think what it is about Fiji you want, and look at Asia. Oversea Villas? Look at Pangkor Laut. Small perfect islands? Think Kura Kura. And so on. But with a fraction of the travel time or cost.

    Hi Del,

    Thanks for the reply.

    My fiance has her heart set on Fiji at the moment, so what are the options for Fiji?

    Thanks.

    We are looking at possibly July - although havant yet checked what are the best times of the year for Fiji yet, just throwing around ideas at the moment.

    You really have to fly either with Air Pacific from Hong Kong or from Los Angeles with the same carrier

    The other alternative is to fly to New Zealand then onward from there with Air New Zealand

    To stick to the durations you have suggested above your gonna be really tired not much of a relaxing honeymoon

    Thanks
