If you've got a trip booked to the UK - these new rules will apply to you 🇬🇧✈️

Heading to the UK this year? 🇬🇧✈️

From today, an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) will be mandatory for travellers who currently don’t need a visa. This includes visitors from 85 countries, such as the US, Canada and France.

Without an approved ETA, travel to the UK will not be permitted.

Airlines will begin checking ETAs before departure- strengthening border security and helping deliver a more efficient service for both visitors and the British public.

Singapore with a side of Disney ✨🚢

Disney Cruise Line is now sailing from Singapore — making it an exciting and easy holiday option for families.

From the UAE, Singapore is just a 6.5-hour flight with multiple daily departures, making it ideal for a seamless getaway. It’s also a fantastic alternative for Australian families looking to enjoy a Disney cruise, now that Disney is no longer sailing from Australian ports.

By combining a Disney cruise with time in Singapore, you get the best of both worlds: a vibrant city rich in culture, world-class food, iconic attractions, and family-friendly experiences — followed by all the magic and entertainment Disney is known for at sea.

A perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and unforgettable family memories✨

Thinking about a Disney cruise from Singapore? I can help you create a seamless cruise + city experience your family will never forget!
