Luxurious learning at the Luxury Travel Collection Showcase 12-14 March 2026.

We have broadened our experience further with 2 intensive days of meetings, networking and discovery.

We are becoming more aware, more adept at recommending experiences and more complete as travel advisors with each event we attend.

When our travellers want reliability, trustworthiness and experience from us we are determined, with our commitment to learning, to always fulfil those expectations.

We are professional travellers, we understand the complexities of juggling multiple trip components and we have a clear vision, with clear communication channels to navigate through any disruptions to an itinerary.

This is what we do for a living and we love it.

My greatest takeaway from the weekend…. “We are Human Beings” and not “Human Doings” taking time to remember to Be in the moment, to Be present, to Be grateful and Be adventurous and all the other “Be’s” is exactly what travelling enables if you take your time and don’t get rushed or pushed around.

We can’t “Do” everything in life… pick then where and how you can “Be”

Another day in travel and another beautiful cruise ship to inspect.

Our Beauty today was the Crown Princess.

With a passenger count topping out at 3000 the fun fact with Crown Princess is that she is a twin of other famous ships the Diamond and Sapphire Princesses although she’s had an extra deck added.

I loved the decor, straight from an English Pub or Clubhouse, throughout the ship, it was uber elegant, kind of posh but not stuffy.

As you’d expect from a larger vessel there are heaps of venues and dining choices, plus Princess Cruises have an excellent value add in their Princess Plus inclusions and their Future Cruise deposits are a super way to lock in future cruise savings.

This ship, her crew and her itineraries will make anyone who wants a fancy fun holiday for a great price… very happy. Best for travellers who love to get stuck in, meet people and do all the activities and shows.

Great for all ages too, so message us if you want to plan a special birthday family trip or festive season cruise… it’s such an easy holiday for all.

We were treated to a lovely 3 course lunch and then did the hardest part of all… we walked in the opposite direction to those about to sail away.

Princess Cruises are a fantastic cruise line who have been committed to Australia for many years and I can see why they’re so very popular with Aussies.

Here are a bunch of photos from the ship.

Enjoy

Today I explored Crystal Serenity, her first time in Brisbane as she sails from Melbourne to Bali.
This ship is one of two in the Crystal Fleet which was acquired and revamped by the Abercrombie and Kent Travel Group in 2022 and she is for the cruiser who loves space, not to many fellow passengers but not losing an abundance of dining and entertainment options which can happen with smaller ships.
Her cabins are tastefully appointed, well sized for the longer voyages typical to Crystal, but the real winner are all the excellent public areas, multiple entertainment venues and high quality dining.
It seemed that no matter what you were into, there was a place for you:)
All in all the vibe is country club casual but, better to pack a suit or cocktail dress for dinner with the captain.
We finished today spoiled by a delicious 3 course sample menu from Umi Uma by chef Nobu and Osteria d’Ovidio, 2 of the signature restaurants on board.
Fun fact.. Umi Uma is Japanese for Seahorse… Crystal Cruises’ mascot.
It’s always incredible to discover new ways for our clients to adventure.
Thanks for following along.
