What Is Patreon?

Patreon is an online membership platform that enables people to support the creators whose work they enjoy while receiving additional content, benefits and access in return.

Rather than relying on social-media algorithms to decide what you see, Patreon provides a dedicated place where members can follow their chosen creators and find their latest posts, videos and community updates. Paid memberships can also unlock exclusive content and other benefits selected by each creator.

For me, Patreon has become a way to share considerably more than I can through the public Tips For Travellers YouTube channel alone.

It allows me to post extra cruise updates, early-release videos, behind-the-scenes material, downloadable guides and more direct opportunities to interact with members of the Tips For Travellers community.

Just as importantly, the support of my Patrons helps me continue independently researching, booking and creating the cruise advice, reviews and videos that I hope help travellers make better choices.

What Is the Tips For Travellers Patreon?

My Tips For Travellers Patreon is a dedicated membership community for cruisers who want more tips, insights and access than I can provide through my regular public videos and blog posts.

It is where I share additional observations from my travels, reveal what is happening behind the scenes and post every new Tips For Travellers video before its general release.

The current Patreon page describes the membership as offering exclusive bonus content, early and permanently ad-free videos, behind-the-scenes material, on-cruise updates and priority booking for future group cruises.

The main membership I recommend is the Senior Officer level, which unlocks eight key benefits.

Eight Benefits of Becoming a Senior Officer

1. Priority Booking for Tips For Travellers Group Cruises

Senior Officers receive priority booking opportunities for future Tips For Travellers group cruises.

These cruises have become an important part of the Tips For Travellers community, bringing together travellers who enjoy cruising, meeting fellow followers and taking part in special group activities.

Booking is currently open for my Cunard Queen Mary 2 Transatlantic Crossing from New York to Southampton, departing 23 July 2027.

You can find more information about that sailing at:

https://www.tipsfortravellers.com/2027-group-cruise/

Places on popular group cruises can be limited, so receiving priority booking can be one of the most valuable Senior Officer benefits.

2. Every New Video Early and Permanently Ad-Free

Every new Tips For Travellers video is released to Patrons at least one week before it appears on my public YouTube channel.

These Patreon versions are also ad-free—and remain ad-free permanently.

You can therefore watch the latest videos before everyone else, without interruptions, and return to them later without adverts appearing.

3. Exclusive Videos Recorded During My Trips

I regularly record additional videos while travelling that are created specifically for Patrons.

These can include:

Immediate impressions of a ship or cruise line.
Behind-the-scenes observations.
Reports from ports and excursions.
Things that have surprised or concerned me.
Extra cruise tips discovered during the trip.
Updates that may never become full public YouTube videos.

Because these videos are often recorded while events are unfolding, they provide a more immediate look at what I am experiencing and discovering.

4. Behind-the-Scenes Tips For Travellers Videos

Senior Officers also receive videos exploring how Tips For Travellers is made.

I share insights into subjects such as my filming process, recording equipment, studio, video production, upcoming plans and the story behind the channel.

These posts provide a closer look at what happens before a finished video reaches YouTube.

5. Patron-Only Live Cruise Q&As

At least twice a year, I host a private live question-and-answer session exclusively for Patrons.

My public weekly livestreams can attract more questions than it is possible to answer. The smaller Patron sessions allow me to spend more time on individual questions and aim to answer every question submitted.

It is an opportunity to ask about a cruise you are considering, a line or ship you are unsure about, or a cruising problem you would like help solving.

6. Downloadable Cruise Tips eBooks

Senior Officers can download a selection of my cruise and travel eBooks.

The collection includes guides covering essential cruise planning, different styles of cruising, travelling with Cunard and taking better travel photographs.

These can be saved and referred to whenever you are planning or preparing for a future trip. The Senior Officer membership page currently lists several downloadable Tips For Travellers books and guides among its included benefits.

7. Senior Officer Merchandise at Supplier Cost

Senior Officers can access exclusive Tips For Travellers merchandise offered at the supplier’s cost price.

This means the merchandise is provided as a membership benefit rather than being priced to generate an additional profit.

8. Exclusive Patron Offers and Discounts

I regularly post special offers and discounts that I have arranged or found for Patrons.

These may include cruise- and travel-related products, services or collectables that I believe could interest members of the Tips For Travellers community.

The offers available will change over time, so Senior Officers should check Patreon regularly for the latest additions.

Why Join the Senior Officer Level?

The Senior Officer membership is designed for people who already enjoy Tips For Travellers but would like to go deeper.

It provides more cruise information, earlier access, fewer interruptions and a closer connection with both me and the wider Tips For Travellers community.

It may be particularly worthwhile if you:

Regularly watch Tips For Travellers videos.
Prefer watching videos without adverts.
Want additional observations from my cruises.
Are interested in joining a future group cruise.
Would use the downloadable cruise guides.
Enjoy seeing how the channel and videos are produced.
Would like greater access to ask me cruise questions.
Want to help support the continued creation of independent cruise advice.
