Our tour consultant will then provide you with an immediate quote by telephone (during business hours or by the next working day). In addition to our standard discount we will also discuss any additional discounts on offer such as early payment, past traveller etc. We will then discuss your payment options including deposit and final balance amounts and their relevant due dates. Your deposit can be paid by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX) or paid directly to our account though your bank or internet banking. Once you are happy to proceed the next step is for us to request a seat/s for you on the tour of your choice. To do this we simply need your full name as per passport (or birth certificate if you haven't yet got a passport), your date of birth and your contact details. If there are any further questions you have at this stage your personal tour consultant is there to help answer your queries. |

When your tour has been booked and confirmed we will email you a Client Statement detailing the tour deposit and balance due along with any further information. Tour balances are normally due 60-45 days prior to the tour departure depending on the Tour Operator. Your tour documents, tour vouchers, travel bag and/or travel wallet will be posted to your address prior to your departure (around 14 days out). We also provide you with a travel itinerary by email once we have all your flight information (if included) and personal details confirmed. |

Use a Licensed Travel Agency for the benefit of added protection:
In Australia, licensed travel agencies contribute to the Travel Compensation Fund (TCF). The TCF is used to compensate consumers who do not receive any travel services purchased from a licensed travel agency, travel wholesaler or travel supplier. Claims against the TCF are reviewed by an independent Board of Trustees.
Our staff have Cruise Consultant Accreditation:
The ICCA Cruise Accreditation Program has been established since 1996 and is a way to recognise dedicated consultants who develop extensive cruise industry knowledge and superior selling skills. The program is modeled on the successful Cruise Counsellor Certification program developed by Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) in 1992. To this day, the ICCA & CLIA work closely together to promote travel agency education and professionalism.
