“Jeannine is one of the best freelancers I have had the pleasure to work with. She is accurate, fast and - what every editor wants - always delivers to deadline. Jeannine has become effectively my go-to in terms of freelancers - I always look to her first as I know she will do such a great job. Couple that with her lovely manner and professionalism and Jeannine makes a perfect ambassador for Cruise Critic, and indeed has represented us on many occasions.”


Adam Coulter, Managing Editor, Cruise Critic UK

 “If you’re looking for professional, brilliantly crafted copy, Jeannine Williamson is a perfect fit. Jeannine is a true pro who takes the time to understand every facet of travel and tourism; she shuns superficiality and digs deep. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jeannine for a number of years, and she is always willing to take on assignments and has never missed a deadline. She requires no supervision, little editing, and she brings a balanced positivity to everything she writes.”


Colleen McDaniel, Editor-In-Chief, Cruise Critic

 “We are always very happy to have Jeannine travel with us. She is always extremely professional to deal with and her articles are always accurate, on time and more importantly, well written.”


Wendy Atkin-Smith, Managing Director, Viking Cruises UK

“Jeannine offers a vital mix of creativity and reliability and is a highly valued member of our extended team. She has been writing for us for over 15 years across a really varied mix of titles, from glossy travel magazines to B2B focused industry publications. Jeannine has worked for many of our editors, who have been impressed with the quality of her copy and friendly approach to her work. She is always a pleasure to deal with.”


Rob Yandell, Director, Yandell Media Group.

I’ve worked with Jeannine for a number of years and have always been impressed not only with her knowledge and professionalism, but also with just how many articles she can place from one trip. Jeannine produces very well researched and well written articles and is always a pleasure to deal with.”


Kate Selley, Founder, Kate Selley Public Relations

“I have been lucky enough to work with Jeannine for many years now and she is one of my favourite journalists to deal with. Her brief is always clear, deadlines are achievable and the subsequent articles are a well thought out, knowledgeable and an interesting read. There is very little about the world of cruise that Jeannine doesn’t know and if you are lucky enough to have her company on a press trip/event then you are in for a treat. Put simply, Jeannine is one of the best.”


Madeleine Roast, Managing Director, Roast Public Relations Ltd.

“We have had the pleasure of welcoming Jeannine onboard our ships in Europe and Asia and greatly value the insights and personal reflections she brings to every travel experience. Reporting on travel is more than just reciting the square feet of a room or the distance between two ports - it is about the emotional connections made and sense of wonder in discovering a destination through its people, food and culture. Jeannine can always be counted on to report accurately and with great industry knowledge, but even more importantly she is able to paint a vivid picture of experiences that draw people into her story and encourage them to follow in her footsteps.”


Kristin Karst, Executive Vice President and Co-owner, AmaWaterways

“Jeannine is a regular contributor to Telegraph’s Cruise section. Whether it’s a colour feature, a news piece or a round-up, her copy is always right on the money. I have no hesitation in commissioning her to write articles, which are always well-researched, cleanly written, engaging and delivered on time. Jeannine is the best kind of freelancer because she makes my job as an editor easier - she’s a pleasure to work with.”


Katherine Lawrey, Senior Content Editor, Telegraph Travel

“Jeannine is a truly outstanding professional and I have worked with her since the launch of A-ROSA River Cruises in the UK. She has a deep understanding of the sector, which combined with her passion for cruises makes her one of the leading journalists in her field. She has been instrumental in helping us spread the word about our cruises within the UK for many years now and I highly recommend her.”


Lucia Rowe, Managing Director, A-ROSA River Cruises UK & Ireland
