New Lynn back then...

It must have been so exciting for familiies in 1963 when Lynnmall, the first American-style shopping centre in New Zealand, opened. The site, a swampy paddock, was transformed into shops and a courtyard, a children’s play area and 500 free car parks. Retailers such as Farmers, Milne & Choyce, and Woolworths anchored the mall, along with a range of equally popular stores including Keans menswear, and the popular wool shop, Masco. The next development to follow suit was Southmall in Manurewa. A feature of both malls was the focus on entertainment, from baby and beauty contests, to musical performances. In 1970, West Auckland fans of local pop stars Shane and The Chicks were treated to a visit from the celebrities, who took time to autograph posters for their fans at Lynmall.

Middle East War
A surge in hostilities between Israel, the US and Iran has led to coordinated missile strikes on US military installations throughout the Gulf.
The attacks triggered immediate responses from the US and allied military forces.
Our thoughts are with all those who are affected by this conflict.
These incidents have caused disruption to travel and regional uncertainty.

✈️ Important UK Travel Update for 2026!
Planning a UK adventure next year? Heads up – entry requirements are changing!
From 25 February 2026, the UK will enforce its new Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) system. This means that New Zealand passport holders (and other previously visa-free travellers) will need to apply for an ETA before heading to the UK.
DUAL CITIZENS – Take Note!
If you hold British or Irish citizenship alongside another nationality, you cannot apply for an ETA. Instead, you’ll need to travel on your British or Irish passport.
Example: If you have both NZ and British passport? Use your British passport for UK travel.
What should you do now?
Get in touch with your local YOU Travel & Cruise team. We’ll help you figure out which passport to use, assist with applications, and make sure your travel plans stay smooth and stress-free.
📞 Contact us today and let’s get you ready for your next UK adventure!

Travel memories over inheritance?

A new trend is taking the travel industry by storm, 'legacy travel', as older generations invest heavily in family holidays, leaving behind memories rather than inheritance or material possessions.

Research shows nearly half of traveller's over 60 would rather spend their savings on a once in a lifetime trip and 80% of this segment are happy to pay for their childrens and grandchildrens holiday .

"I'm taking my children, their partners and the grandchildren to the Gold Coast in January and I cant wait!. For me, its about making memories with loved ones and enjoying each others company". - Kathy

Please get in touch if you're thinking of a holiday with family. We create memorable holidays for inter generational families, from youngsters through to Seniors.
