Fiji to Bali, with some fascinating stops in between.

If you love being at sea as much as exploring new places, this Paul Gauguin Cruises voyage has plenty to offer.

Think leisurely days onboard, fascinating guest speakers and visits to some less-travelled corners of the South Pacific, including Vanuatu, Guadalcanal and Papua New Guinea, before continuing to Komodo National Park and Bali.

An interesting mix of time to unwind and places you might not otherwise get the chance to visit.

Think cruising isn't for you? You might just not have found the right one yet.

A week exploring the Mediterranean is a very different holiday from sailing through the Norwegian fjords or discovering remote corners of Antarctica. And then there's river cruising, where you can explore beautiful towns and cities without constantly packing and unpacking.

That's what we love about cruising. There are so many different ways to experience it.

The Kimberley spectacular from land but seeing it from the water is something else entirely.

Cruising through ancient gorges by Zodiac, surrounded by towering red cliffs, with hardly another soul in sight.

Expedition cruising opens up parts of this remarkable coastline that are difficult to reach any other way, from secluded waterfalls to remote beaches and some of our most dramatic landscapes.

And the best part? It's right here in our own backyard.

October is Cruise Month, and a good reminder that some of the most extraordinary cruising experiences are closer to home than you might think.

Some destinations have a darker side once the sun goes down.

Ben’s time in Dublin around Halloween was a reminder that the stories, folklore and traditions can stay with you just as much as the landmarks.

This week’s Travel Tuesday takes us from Ireland and Transylvania to Mexico, Scotland and the US.

Closer to home, we’re also proud to support Nicho Halloween here in Balmain.

A little win from last night! 🥂🍾

Had a lovely evening with Beyond Travel learning more about Havila Voyages and updates from Finnair. And to top it off, Katrina managed to take home third prize after a fun trivia battle.

Not a bad way to spend a Monday evening.

Europe, Vietnam, Cambodia or even Colombia. Where would you go by river?

Explore the Mekong through Cambodia and Vietnam, discover Colombia along the Magdalena River, or enjoy the historic towns and beautiful scenery of Europe.
