Travel with Hawthorn Travel & Cruise
We are passionate about travel, we love what we do, we have been doing it for a long time and we believe we are good at it. Our business is reliant of repeat and recommendations and that comes from happy customers.
Remember, “without a travel agent you are on your own”. From the planning stages to the final production of your itinerary, your trip is handled by some of the best planners in the business.
See below about the different types of travel we can organise (leisure, flights, cruises, corporate, groups, etc.) and contact us today for more advice.
Leisure Travel
Places, faces, experiences and more. We like to know what makes our clients smile and we build an itinerary around your wish-list, adding ideas and features that can make a great trip into a trip of a lifetime.
Too often holidays are done at a high speed; let us show you the world at a pace that is more in tune with thought and contemplation.
For us, travel is the start & finish and doing everything in-between.
Domestic travel
Local travel isn’t just about living life as a local would, it’s also about appreciating the culture and making personal connections as part of your travel experiences. We can assist you with all your travel needs in Australia.
Flights
The airlines have gone full circle with airfares, embracing new technology and making on-line bookings for straight forward itineraries that are relatively simple. However, booking engines have assumed price as the most important factor in choosing an airline. Airlines once again depend on agents and now offer selected agents airfares that are not available on the internet.
It is our role to offer you value, by considering most direct, most convenient, most regular, best value and of course the most comfortable at the best cost we can.
Cruises
The increase in popularity of cruises for Australians has been enormous, so much so that some of the world’s best ships regularly enjoy a summer season in the southern waters.
Australians liking of the cruising has seen many clients fly & cruise. It has been so popular that we have two consultants who are highly accredited ICCA “Cruise Masters”, a qualification that has over 40 hours of training and the course in finished overseas.
