Recommended Cruise Agents and other Related Links

Please Note: Cruise-Australia.net is an independent non-commercial online cruise information site and is not ‘sponsored’ by a cruise company or a travel agent. As a service to my readers I have decided to recommend a number of quality cruise oriented Travel Agents in Australia/New Zealand, USA, Canada, UK, and in Europe. These are well established in the field of cruising for a considerable time. Therefore I am assured that these they have a comprehensive knowledge of ships and the cruise industry, and that that they will offer you an efficient and friendly service as well as offer you the best possible fare possible. This page also contains links to a number of other fine cruise websites you might find of use.

Bon Voyage

The Number ONE Cruise Specialist in South Australia

Where Cruise experience counts!

Judy Marbrow has been involved in the cruise industry since 1974, including a long association with CTC cruises. However since then she and her son Shannon has commenced the highly successful Cruise Booking Centre, which is Adelaide's only travel agency dedicated specifically to cruise vacations. When visiting her office last February, I I discovered countless awards, handed out by P&O, Cunard, NCL and other agencies as Judy not only being the top sales consultant, but also the State’s Top Agency! The Cruise Booking Centre was also awarded the “Cunard Line's Inner Circle Club” two years in a row and then again another year later.

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!

Please Note:

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!
