MTA Luxury Travel Style & Cruise Specialising in Global Luxury Travel, Africa, The Greek Islands and Snow Ski Holidays. I am a wife to my wonderful hubby and mum to our four beautiful children.

Virtuoso Partner and Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton's Belmond Luxury Hotels Partner I am the Managing Director and Luxury Travel Executive at Luxury Travel Style & Cruise based in Shell Cove NSW. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Travel and Tourism Business Management as well as Cert III and IIII in Travel and Tourism. I am a local and have lived in this area all my life. My specialities are Luxury Trave

l, Snow Skiing trips, School Group Travel and Family Travel. I have been very fortunate to have travelled the world and explore all 7 continents in depth. From driving in an RV through America to spending time with the locals in Fijian Villages, small ship cruising and scuba diving around the islands of Fiji. Bartering for bargains in Bali many times over to Elephant trekking & cave kayaking in Thailand. Cruising the beautiful Caribbean Sea, jumping off waterfalls in Jamaica, to shopping up a storm in Vegas. Marvelling at the Aurora Borealis just under the Arctic Circle, learning about the Inuit way of life, helicoptering my way through frozen canyons & relaxing in thermal pools surrounded in snow in -37 in Canadian Yukon Territory, immersing ourselves in the warm waters of the Onsen's in Japan to being serenaded by 3 amigos in Los Cabos, Mexico. Sipping champagne on the deck in the beautiful villages of France while overlooking famous V***e Clicquot's vineyards to dining on the freshest of Sun Dried Octopus in the Greek Islands. Enjoying the traditional Arabian Coffee experience in the UAE, camel riding at sunset in the deserts of Abu Dhabi and swimming in The Persian Gulf to dining on the sensational chilli crab in Singapore and truffle in Rome. From Sea Kayaking in Hawaii and the islands of Rhodes in Greece to dog sledding in Canada & whale watching in New Zealand. I have been dropped in by helicopter onto a glacier and iced trekked the same glacier in Alaska. From being awestruck driving through the stunning landscape of the Canadian Wilderness, enjoying a glass of bubbles on the shores of Lake Louise, eating Beaver Tails in Banff, sailing the Greek Islands with our very own butler as we enjoyed breakfast on our private balcony each morning overlooking a different Greek Island to zip lining my way through Kauai in the Hawaiian islands. From seal, whale &penguin education from Zodiacs on Expedition in Antarctica to climbing the old walls of Dubrovnik in Croatia & taking in the gorgeous scenery, riding a gondola in Venice, eating traditional burek in Slovenia, wandering the Cotswolds of England, learning Tango in Argentina to visiting the beautiful region of Patagonia in Chili. Flying sea planes in Vancouver, cycling through every city possible, helicopters over the Grand Canyon, white water rafting in Bali to snorkeling the El Arco in Mexico. From making our way from Vancouver to Whistler to Calgary driving in our own time and stopping to immerse ourselves and take in the glorious and breathtaking Canadian Rockies while enjoying close encounters with elk, moose and deer to Disneyland, Disneyworld and everything in between at both Christmas and Halloween. From exploring the ancient ruins & archeological site of Ephesus in Turkey to tasting the incredible wines of Crete, private Onsen's high in Japanese mountains, sipping Prosecco in Positano, River cruising on the Danube, to riding some of the world's most iconic train trips from the Glacier Express in Switzerland to the luxurious 3 night journey on the Blue Train in South Africa. From Broadway shows in New York City to The West End Theatre in London and sports trips to see the Basketball in New York and Ice Hockey in Canada. It has been an amazing ride so far, with hopefully many more adventures to come! Our love of Snow Skiing has taken us abroad and I been lucky enough to also experience skiing throughout the USA including Colorado & The Sierra Nevada's, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, Austria and New Zealand. In addition, my adventures have taken me right around our own beautiful country, from hiking around Uluru and Kings Canyon, Sunset Camel rides in Broome, fishing in The Gulf of Carpentaria, learning about bush medicine in Arnhem Land, swimming in the secluded waterholes of the Kimberley to diving our amazing Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo Reef!! Having 4 children of my own, I also understand the logistics & challenges of travelling with a large family, but believe me, it can done and done enjoyably, creating memories you'll hold dear for life! I have had 26 years experience working in Leisure & Corporate Travel. I am very honoured to have been nominated and make the top 10 finalist list for Women In Travel, Australia wide. Travel is about truly experiencing a destination and immersing yourself with unique experiences, cultures and food so that it holds a place in your heart forever. Allow me to curate the perfect adventures that are unique to you. Sincerely, Donna

As we move deeper into 2025, I've taken a moment to reflect on what has undoubtably been the busiest start to a year that I think I have ever experienced in my 26 years of industry experience.

While every year starts off incredibly busy with travellers looking to secure their plans early, the demand for travel over the past few months has been unparalleled, with Italy being one of the most sought out destinations resulting in a record number of tailored bookings and tours for this destination.
With the combination of the Jubilee year and the unfortunate recent passing of the Pope, the demand has placed enormous pressure on our Italian suppliers, with limited availability at it's peak and in demand tours being booked up incredibly quickly.
I want to sincerely thank you for your patience and understanding and trust as I worked through the volume of bookings and adjustments.

While the pace has been extraordinary, my commitment to delivering the best possible experience to you all always remains steadfast.
I am incredibly proud of how many dream trips I have brought to life this year and this is just the beginning!

Next week sees the beginning of hundreds of my travellers making the exciting journey to Italy and beyond.

Thankyou once again for your loyalty, your patience and your enthusiasm for seeing the world!
Here's to an unforgettable year of travels!

Warmest regards,
Donna

Fabulous evening last night at Alpha Dining in Castlereagh street hosted by Fiji’s finest luxury resorts.
It doesn’t get much more pristine than the Yasawas with private islands like the incredible Kokomo, or the best self indulgence experiences such as Six Senses Fiji, or a multi gen family holiday to stunning Vomo Island with arguably the best diving spot in Fiji right on its doorstep.
Jean-Michel Cousteau or Royal Davui Island resort offers the best of the best surrounded by pure Fiji.
How about a private elopement on beautiful Tokoriki Island resort?

If you are looking to spoil yourself with a truly special & luxurious Fijian getaway, let me know.
Pure Fiji at its best!

Can you believe it’s March already!
It’s been a hectic & incredibly busy start to 2025.
It has to be another record beginning to the year.

What is hotting up for 2025 & beyond….

1. Luxury Cruising. I cant get enough of it & it seens neither can my clients. From Azamara to Ponant to Oceania and Silversea, Seaborne & Regent cruises.. it’s about smaller luxurious ships usually 500 pax max, a one to one or two to one crew to pax ratio, butler service on some, unique itineraries because these ships can dock into much smaller ports, incredibly personal activities with a small number of people, all inclusive … nothing more to pay!
What’s not to love about all of the above. No wonder it’s in demand.

2. River cruising. Europe, the Nile, Cambodia, South America…the most peaceful way to glide from country to country.

3. Japan! Although get it in guys, our USA friends are driving up the prices with a huge interest in skiing Japan for next year. Japan is responding with price hikes. Because they can.

4. Africa. It has to he experienced to be believed.
Just do it. One of my fave places on the planet.
Im putting together an escorted trip in Oct 2026.
It will be a small group so let me know if you would like more info.

5. The Maldives. Always popular so if it’s on your radar let me know sooner than later. I will be heading there myself in July and will bring 3 very different resorts to you.

6. Vietnam. I have hands down the BEST Vietnam based supplier partner who I work with for all of my Vietnam tailored & bespoke itineraries.
If Vietnam is also on your radar for 2025, let's get cracking on it for you to ensure you also experience the trip of a lifetime in Vietnam.

Looking for some inspo or great deals? Keep an eye on my webpage ( link below ) for current offers.

I’m heading to Sydney tonight for the AMAWaterways river cruise launch night. As many of you know I cruised with them last year along the Danube and loved it! I cannot recommend them enough. I was also very honoured to be asked to be a guest on the live webinar recording yesterday for Virtuoso amd AMAWaterways for the Australian market.

The office will be unattended this Friday as I will be attending an International Women’s day event at the Hilton and the CLIA ( Cruise line International Awards ) for the cruise industry’s night of nights on Saturday night at the Star, Sydney.

The office will reopen next Tuesday as normal.
