A Season of Luxury  Celebrate with... Henry Cookson, Founder of Cookson Adventures

All I want for Christmas is…

More time to travel!

How will you be celebrating Christmas this year?  

I will be diving with sharks in the open waters of South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope.

Your favourite Christmas tradition?

Putting the decorations up and, of course, the tree - especially if it’s helping to make a remote destination feel Christmassy.

Favourite festive film or song?

Gremlins - I like the unexpected.

Best place to enjoy the Christmas atmosphere? 

Nothing beats a frost-covered landscape under the Northern Lights.

Top tip for surviving the festive season in style?

If our adventures have taught us anything, it’s that you can bring Christmas tradition to some of the most remote locations on earth. Whether it’s sailing around the Antarctic Peninsula or on a game drive in the Maasai Mara, exploring with family always leads to unforgettable memories. Perfect for seeing off the year in style.
