Please
Note: Cruise-Australia.net is an independent cruise/ship
review and is a 100% non-commercial cruise information site. The
author is not ‘sponsored’ by any cruise company or
travel agent in any form whatsoever! This page is here as a
service to my readers as I have decided to recommend a number of
high quality cruise oriented Travel Agents in Australia/New
Zealand, USA, Canada, UK, and in Europe. All of these are long
established agencies in the field of cruising and have an
excellent record. Therefore I am assured that these agencies have
a comprehensive knowledge of ships and the cruise industry, thus
I am assured that that they will offer you an efficient and
friendly service as well as offer you the very best possible
fares available at the time.
This
page also contains links to a number of other fine cruise/maritime
websites that you may find of use, especially the “World
Wide Cruising News & Pictorial” that is published in Brisbane
Australia and it is simply superb!
However,
should you have an adverse experience with any agent mentioned on
this page, please advise me as I insist on top quality service at
all times, and if I receive several strikes that means removal
and a public shaming!
Please
Note: Do you have a Cruise or Maritime link that you wish to
add to this links page? Then email the author (see the link at
bottom of the page) and I will contact you for consideration.
However, do not email me if a link is related to any other
business, for this is a 100% Cruise / Maritime site, thus NO
accommodation or car rental sites or anything else will be
accepted. I repeat, it MUST be 100% Cruise / Maritime based!

World
Wide Cruising News & Pictorial
This
is without doubt one of the best cruise magazines available
anywhere, but you need to subscribe to this full colour quality
production crammed with information and photographs. The copy
shown below was the special “Farewell QE2” edition and
besides dozens of other cruise stories, it contained a special
four page QE2 feature looking at her long history and her future.
I have known the publisher and editor John Treacy for many years
and I personally recommend this superb magazine as it has some of
the best reading on the market!

Photographs
on cruise-australia.net are: 1. By the author. 2. From the
author’s private collection. 3. As
provided by Shipping Companies and private photographers or
collectors. Credit is given to all contributors. However, there
are photographs provided to me without details provided regarding
the photographer concerned. I hereby invite if owners of these
images would be so kind to make them-selves known to me, that due
credit may be given. I know what it is like, I have seen a
multitude of my own photographs on other sites, yet they either
refuse to give me credit and even refuse to remove them, knowing
full well that there is no legal comeback when it comes to the
net. However, let us show the charlatans up and do the right
thing at all times and give credit where credit is due! Note: I
do not credit those who send me photos as they are not the owners
of the photographs concerned, unless the image is part of their
private collection.
This
notice covers all pages, although, I have done my best to ensure
that all photographs are duly credited and that this notice is
displaced on each page, that is, when a page is updated!
