The World Awaits Travel & Cruise

28/02/2026

This was written by a very good work colleague and I couldn’t have worded it better.

There is a lot of noise right now about what’s happening in the Middle East.

Headlines move fast. Social media moves even faster.

This is exactly when having a professional travel advisor matters.

Travel Agents are not relying on rumours or viral posts. We monitor official sources like Smartraveller (DFAT), airline advisories and cruise line communications daily.

If you are travelling to or transiting through the region:

✔️ We are already checking routings
✔️ We are monitoring supplier updates
✔️ We will contact you directly if your itinerary is affected

Airlines and cruise lines are incredibly proactive when it comes to passenger safety. Routes are adjusted long before situations escalate.

If you booked with us, you are not navigating this alone.

And if you didn’t — this is why booking with a professional matters.

We don’t create panic.
We create clarity.

If you’re unsure about your upcoming travel, reach out to me directly. Let’s deal in facts, not fear.

Some very important information if you hold Dual Citizenship. Please don't get caught out.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1KARQVgojd/

If you’re an Australian-British or Australian-Irish dual national, from 25 February 2026, there are changes to the passport and visa rules that apply to you when travelling to the UK.

If you’re a dual national, you must either:
• use your British or Irish passport to enter the UK. If your passport isn’t current or you don’t have one, you will need to renew or apply for one prior to travel; OR
• get a certificate of entitlement from GOV.UK, if you want to use your Australian (or another foreign country) passport and do not currently hold a British or Irish passport.

Dual nationals will no longer be able to:
• get an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to enter the UK
• get a visa to enter the UK

You might not be able to board your flight to the UK if you do not have a British or Irish passport, or a certificate of entitlement.

If you are a dual national, check the requirements, arrange necessary documents, and make sure everything is ready before you travel.

We often talk about Bucket Lists and where do you really want to go? Egypt has been at the top of my wish list for 30 years and I can't believe I still haven't been. But I think this would be the perfect way to do it, don't you? Gliding along the Nile on a stunning River Cruise with curated shore excursions to see some of the ancient marvels of the world. That's my sort of Bucket List experience. What's yours?

Hi friends, Have you heard the news? I've signed up for Dry July, which means I'm going alcohol-free in July! Dry July is much more than just giving up alcohol for the month, it's about raising important funds for people affected by cancer. There's nothing more sobering than the real...

Kia Orana - Hello from beautiful Rarotonga! It’s not a bad view from the office this week

Did you know that the road around the island is 32kms and being mostly flat is perfect for cycling. Although that may be far too energetic for a holiday!

Yes, you read that right!

🚂 Love the idea of a rail journey? You don’t need to head to Europe — we've got breathtaking options in New Zealand, India and Australia too.

🚢 Craving a cruise? Whether it’s river, ocean or expedition, there are stunning itineraries right here in the South Pacific and Asia where your dollar delivers more.

And don’t forget the gems on our doorstep: Norfolk Island, The Cook Islands, and Niue – all beautiful, great value, and easy to reach.

Why travel 20+ hours for the same experiences you can enjoy closer to home — and often for less?

I can’t guarantee the weather on a cruise, but can confirm the buffets are normally pretty good, or so my scales say when I come home from one!
