Our Product Manager, Michaela, boarded Azamara Onward for a 6 night cruise from Adelaide to Perth.

It didn’t take long at all and I didn’t […]
Our Tour + Cruise consultants Kristy and Sarah had the opportunity to sail from Cairns to Brisbane on the Cunard Queen Elizabeth. While the cruise line has a storied reputation, we found that this cruise would not be suited to everyone, particularly for younger travellers or those seeking a more modern cruise experience.

Not long ago, the Celebrity Edge ship popped into Adelaide’s outer harbour during a 9 night ‘Australian Wine Itinerary’ cruise which gave us the opportunity to venture onboard and explore what this vessel had to offer. Our ship inspection was at 10 am, and despite the unknown Autumn weather, the day turned out to be […]
We recently had the opportunity to jump on the Azamara Journey for a ship inspection, while it was docked in Adelaide on its recent voyage. Built in early 2000 and refurbished again in 2016, Azamara Journey has a capacity for 694 passengers, plus 390 crew. The ship sits in the mid-sized ship category, one that […]
We recently had the opportunity to conduct a ship inspection of the Viking Orion during the ship’s New Zealand cruise. Setting sail from Sydney the night before, the Viking Orion cruised down the east coast overnight and ported in Melbourne.
