Ocean Cruise Week

🌊 Ocean Cruise Week | 4–10 October

Ocean cruising offers far more variety than many travellers realise.

You could sail between Mediterranean ports, explore Alaska’s dramatic coastline, visit the islands of Japan or enjoy a relaxing voyage closer to home. Ships range from lively floating resorts to smaller vessels designed around food, culture and longer stays in port.

The key is finding the right combination of ship and itinerary. A wonderful itinerary aboard the wrong ship can leave you disappointed...and an impressive ship will not compensate for visiting places that hold little interest for you.

During Cruise Month, participating cruise lines may release special offers or added-value inclusions, making this a good time to investigate your next sailing.

What would be on your ideal ocean cruise wish list: a particular destination, a smaller ship, excellent dining, plenty of activities, or simply more time ashore?

Tell me what matters to you, and I’ll help narrow down the choices.

Cruise Month is coming...

🚢 October is Cruise Month!

Whether your cruise wish list includes sailing between Mediterranean islands, gliding past European vineyards, exploring somewhere few travellers ever reach or enjoying a smaller ship with a little extra luxury, October is the perfect time to start planning.

Cruise Month is an annual campaign organised by CLIA Australasia, celebrating the enormous variety of cruise holidays available, and the value of booking with an experienced travel advisor.

Each week will highlight a different way to cruise:

🌊 4–10 October: Ocean Cruising
🏰 11–17 October: River Cruising
🐧 18–24 October: Expedition Cruising
🥂 25–31 October: Luxury Cruising

Throughout the month, I’ll share ideas, inspiration and advice to help you understand which style of cruise might suit you best. There may also be special Cruise Month promotions available from participating cruise lines.

So, what’s on your cruise wish list?

It might be sailing through the Norwegian fjords, following the Rhône through France, exploring Antarctica, seeing Japan by sea...or simply finding the right ship for your first cruise.

Tell me where you would love to cruise, and I’ll help you explore the possibilities.

Something big is happening tonight, and I honestly cannot wait! ✈️🇺🇸

Lachie and I have packed our bags and are heading off on a proper father-son adventure. This one has been on the wish list for a long time, and the fact that I get to experience it with my 16-year-old makes it even more special. There is something truly magical about travelling with your kids, watching them see the world through fresh eyes is one of the greatest gifts this job has ever given me.

I have spent over 20 years helping people craft the trips of their dreams, so you can be sure every detail of this one has been looked after! 😄

I will be sharing everything in real time, the highlights, the food, the laughs, and no doubt a bit of dad-and-son banter along the way. Make sure you are following along here on Facebook or over on Instagram so you don't miss a moment.

Any guesses where we are headed? Drop them in the comments below! 👇 First one to get it right wins absolutely nothing, but bragging rights are most definitely on the table. 😄

My career started with a family holiday. My latest obsession began on the ice.

My interest in travel began when my parents took me to Singapore and Phuket at 11 years old.

I was fascinated by the different cultures, people, food and scenery. It made the world feel much larger and far more interesting than I had realised.

That early holiday eventually led me to a career in travel that has now lasted more than 20 years.

A little later, at 35, I decided to become a beginner again and learnt how to ice skate. A few years after that, I started playing ice hockey. I now coach at my local rink, while my son plays goalie at a considerably higher level than I ever have (or will!), and has even represented Australia!

Travel and hockey might not appear to have much in common, but both have taught me that some of the best experiences begin when you are willing to feel slightly out of your depth.

I’m Chris Scott, a Personal Travel Manager based in Perth. I help travellers create experience-led holidays, from river and small-ship cruises to premium hotels, rail journeys and carefully planned independent trips.

If you’re new here, introduce yourself in the comments. What is something you started later in life that you wish you had discovered sooner?

🏎️ Formula 1 in Barcelona, Madrid, Singapore, Austin, Mexico City or São Paulo?

Most people know I can help with holidays.

What many don't realise is that I can also help you build an entire trip around some of the world's biggest sporting and cultural events.

Think beyond the ticket.

Imagine combining:
🏎️ Formula 1 in Singapore, Barcelona, Madrid, Austin, Mexico City or São Paulo
🏉 AFL Grand Final or NRL Grand Final
🏆 State of Origin
🎾 Australian Open or Wimbledon
⛳ Ryder Cup
🏈 NFL games
🎶 Tomorrowland Belgium
🤠 Calgary Stampede
🥁 Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo
plus others...

Whether it's an official package or a tailor-made itinerary built around the event, I can often help with accommodation, flights and the travel arrangements that turn a few hours of sport or entertainment into an unforgettable holiday.

Sometimes the event is the reason you travel.

Sometimes it's just the excuse. 😉

What's on your bucket list?
