Glynis Barber narrates first-hand accounts of what happens when dream vacations turn into nightmares. A cruise to the Bahamas got caught in a cyclone, a diving trip in Indonesia resulted in life-changing spinal injuries, and a honeymooning couple survive the infamous Las Vegas shootings of October 2017.

A selection of disastrous excursions, featuring a visit to the zoo that ended in horror when a young family encountered an escaped chimpanzee. Plus, a day at a safari park turns to a walk on the wild side as two duelling camels cause £6,000 of damage to a car, rendering it a write-off, while a tourist soon regretted going on a hang-gliding day trip in the Swiss Alps when his pilot failed to attach the safety cord.
