Our Directors and Hosts

Fully escorted from start to finish, someone is with you every step of the way on your holiday. We’ve assembled a fantastic team, all dedicated to providing an engaging and supportive bridge-playing environment. An EBU-qualified director, friendly host or a combination of the team will accompany you on your holiday.

Solo travellers are welcome, and partners are always found in the bridge room on Premier Bridge holidays. Our hosts will hold a singles meeting at the beginning of the holiday and introduce you to prospective partners.
