We design travel experiences with our Members in mind.  Our broad range of escorted holidays and cruises include familiar destinations and these are ideally suited to those who might be travelling there for the first time.

We also offer escorted holidays and expedition cruises to more unusual places for those travellers looking for something a little different or destinations where making individual travel arrangements can be challenging.

No matter what your destination, you can be assured our team has researched every aspect of your holiday to ensure it lives up to your expectations.

Some of the things which set us apart

Escorted holidays

When you book one of our escorted holidays, you'll be in the company of like-minded travellers. 

By travelling together in small groups, you can enjoy journey highlights in a more intimate way. In addition to the must see sights we include many unique and special experiences. Our escorted holidays generally operate with a maximum group size of 30 people.

Cruise

Our cruise holidays vary from idyllic short-break getaways to New Zealand and the Pacific, to adventure filled expedition cruises to new frontiers such as the Antarctic or Artic.

Travel in comfort

During your holiday you'll be flying with reputable airlines (if included in the itinerary you've chosen) and travelling on spacious coaches, world class cruise ships and expedition cruisers.

Hotels have been carefully selected from among the best available ensuring you have easy access to city centres and scenic or historic attractions.

Our regional cruises operate with P&O and Princess Cruises - both market leaders - with a variety of cabin styles to cater to all tastes and budgets. 

Our expedition cruises are something different.  These operate all-together purpose built ice-breakers designed for specific conditions. They offer comfortable accomodation focusing on the experience; with expert expeditioin leaders who guide you through the cruise, both on board and off! 

Our suppliers are part of our extended team to bring your dream holiday experience to life.

So much is included in your fare

You'll enjoy the services of a dedicated* tour escort, the expertise of English-speaking guides along the way, an experienced team on the expedition cruise ships, all transport and transfers, sightseeing and all entrance fees, many meals (a mix of hotel and local restaurants) so you can sample the local cuisine, hotel porterage, tips and gratuities.

Travel with the experts

The hard work is done long before your trip departs. We design, discuss and negotiate every aspect of your holiday with local specialists. 

Your escort

While you're away, your travel escort is there to keep an eye on everything and be ready to take care of the unexpected. Each escort has been carefully selected, not just for their knowledge of your destination, but for their passion for travel.

Holiday extensions

We recognise everyone is different and often there are other places not included in our tour you'd like to see while you're away.  That is why on all our holidays (where flights are included), you have the freedom to choose the date you'd like to return home.

To fly or not to fly

If you'd like to make your own flight arrangements to join one of our holidays, contact one of our consultants. We'll be happy to quote the land or cruise only fare.

Travelling solo

Wherever we can, we like to offer single travellers the freedom to choose between booking a single room or sharing a twin room wtih another single traveller of the same gender. Where possible this can provide considerable savings. However if we can't find an appropriate match you may be required to pay the single supplement.

If you need something special

If you have special needs such as dietary or room requirements, let us know and we'll do our very best to help.

A fond farewell

On the last night of the holiday, we like to arrange something a little bit special so we can all farewell new-found friends and share some of the memories.

* The majority of our escorted holidays include the services of the escort from take-off until touch-down back in New Zealand. However, there are a few exceptions and in these cases the tour escort will meet the group at the airport on arrival.
