There is no doubt in the travel sector that the cruise industry is leading the way out of the pandemic. With very robust COVID protocols in place, cruising may well end up being the safest and most convenient mode of travel in the foreseeable future. As we look forward to a return to international travel, cruise companies are preparing a return to NZ & Australian waters. Oceania's 14 day voyage "Kiwi & Aussie Explorer" will depart Auckland on 30 January 2023. Demand is high, space is limited. Don't miss out - contact me asap to reserve your Stateroom!

September-early March were crazy-busy months spent designing and booking some very special itineraries for my clients travel all over the world in 2020. March-May has been equally busy as I dismantle those very same trips. So what does the future of travel look like now? It seems we'll all have the opportunity to explore New Zealand for the immediate future and perhaps Australia before year's end. I'm very happy about this as both countries are truly wonderful destinations. My northern hemisphere clients rave about their trips Down Under. If you'd like to 'get in the know' and really experience our backyard as they do, then call or message me today - I'd love to work with you on your next trip.

The failure of yet another non-bonded travel agency (Travel Globe, Auckland) speaks to the very heart of why consumers should only use TAANZ bonded and accredited travel industry professionals.

Accredited Travel Advisors work for you, offering you a world of choice. With years of experience, they have long standing relationships with a huge range of suppliers. This means you’ll always get an unbiased recommendation that allows you to make decisions based on what works best for your needs and budget.

Held to the highest industry standards, Accredited Travel Advisors are the best
in the business. All partners have the invaluable combination of formal training
and real-work experience, meaning they can offer you firsthand insights as well
as professional expert advice.

Accredited Travel Advisors are committed to looking after you before departure and beyond. Partners are bonded and must meet a strict set of financial standards that non-ATA partners do not. They always have the accurate information you need to make decisions regarding safe travel. And in the unlikely event that something goes wrong, they will do everything they can to get you moving again as quickly, and with as little disruption to your travel plans as possible.

The TAANZ consumer fund provides some remedy for customers of a failed TAANZ member. Without a TAANZ bonded agent or broker, you're on your own.

Get off the beaten track with a Utracks 11 day "Treasures of the Baltic by Bike" guided cycle tour!

While Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia share the same Baltic coastline, the contrasting unique characters of these three countries will become evident as you follow this incredibly scenic cycling route from Vilnius to Tallinn. From the three capitals - Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn - to the many small villages that have changed little over time, this guided cycling experience along low traffic roads and dedicated cycle paths will showcase the diverse cultures, World Heritage sites and mainly flat landscapes that make travelling in this region so different to anywhere else in Europe. Discover the island castle at Trakai, enter the previously off-limits Curonian Spit, a wild pre-historic sand dune peninsula, and marvel at the pilgrimage sight of thousands of crosses of every size and design imaginable at the Hill of Crosses in northern Lithuania. Crossing into Latvia, dip your toes in the Baltic Sea at the white sandy beaches of Jurmula and on the island of Saaremaa, visit Latvia's oldest Church and pay homage at a bicycle museum before heading into Estonia. We'll stop at Saaremaa, famous for its Bishop's Castle, before reaching the Estonian capital of Tallinn, where the trip concludes.

Several departures from May to September (with a few spots still available for 2019), priced from NZ$2,790 per person. Contact me for more info!
