Elaine Weddick

Elaine was born and brought up in Newcastle upon Tyne and still maintains a strong connection with the area, although she has now lived in the South of England for many years.  Her love of travel started with a ‘road trip’ from Newcastle to Northern Spain in a Ford Prefect at the age of 10 and has continued throughout a career spanning over 40 years and encompassing many aspects of the travel industry.  A husband with a career in an oil-related industry involved several years of interesting overseas postings. After a varied career, including working as Tour Manager on long haul land tours, Elaine joined Noble Caledonia and a whole new world, that included river and sea cruises, opened up. Elaine has travelled the world with us, accompanying a diverse range of tours and cruises. Joining the tours that are accompanied by London Festival Opera has created a renewed interest in classical music for Elaine whilst playing Bridge is what Elaine enjoys most when not working, and if travelling and Bridge can be combined, then so much the better.
