The World Awaits…

The world is a big place and navigating new terrain, unfamiliar countries, their customs and languages can be incredibly daunting. But you don’t have to go it alone or even worry about the logistics of planning and booking your next trip, when small group travel and customised escorted tours promise the perfect chance to experience the trip of a lifetime.

After all, travel is about so much more than just ticking off the sights on the well-trodden tourist trail. A well put together itinerary means you can experience new cultures, incredible local cuisine and meet fascinating people. Small group travel ensures you’re in the company of an experienced host or guide, who’ll make sure everything runs smoothly from the time you plant your foot on foreign soil. Holidays and down-time are such precious commodities, so why not leave the details to experts who ‘get’ your style of travel? Passionate, experienced hosts really add to the ‘personality’ of your tour, bringing history and culture to life. 

With a whole world of opportunity out there waiting to be explored, you’re free to enjoy your trip with a group of fellow travellers who are sure to be on your wavelength. Whether you’re flying solo, travelling with a partner or pals, you’re sure to hit it off with many of your fellow travel companions. It’s not uncommon to develop lifelong and lasting friendships on these tours, with many new friends choosing to travel together again on subsequent holidays.

Hopefully we have convinced you of the many merits of small group travel! With that in mind, we’ve teamed up with World Journeys to bring you a Quay Cruise exclusive offer. Save $400 per person on this spectacular escorted tour leaving from Auckland: ‘Best of the Med’ – 32 blissful days in Italy and the Mediterranean, when you book by 31 July, 2019.

This phenomenal itinerary takes you to some of our dream places; starting in the most picturesque city on earth, Venice, your journey wends through stunning Tuscany, visiting Florence and the divine towns of Siena and San Gimignano. The colourful cliffside villages of Cinque Terre are on the bucket-list for virtually ALL travelers to Italy. The main five villages date back to the later Middle Ages and are dotted with religious buildings and medieval castles. You’ll marvel at the ancient ochre, gold and red buildings which cling to the rugged, rocky shoreline, forming the glorious spine of the five villages, part of a UNESCO World Heritage area. There really are astounding photo opportunities and stunning vistas at every turn.

Your trip then takes you to Italy’s glorious centre of antiquity, Rome, before you embark on your 20-night cruise, stopping in iconic ports such as Dubrovnik, Santorini, Ephesus, Naples, Provence, Barcelona, Seville and more. This wonderful itinerary will ensure you see all the Mediterranean has to offer in comfort and style.
