Senior Travel Advisor

Specialty

I am a Senior Travel Advisor with many years' experience in all facets of travel. I have a love of all things cruising, having cruised extensively on both oceans and rivers. Cruising is definitely my happy place for my own adventures. Even though I have travelled the world quite extensively, there are still places on my list that I want to explore. Europe is always a favourite but Canada holds a special place in my heart! "Of all the books in the world, the best stories are found between the pages of a passport"

My most memorable holiday
My trip to Italy and France with friends. Ocean cruising with Azamara up the coast of Italy, 4 days of shopping in Paris then a wonderful relaxing river cruise to the South of France with Scenic. What a combination, Bellissimo!

Travel has always been more than just a passion of mine—it's something that genuinely excites and inspires me. From cruising through incredible destinations around the world to exploring new cultures and experiences, I love everything that travel has to offer. When I'm not helping clients plan their next adventure, you'll usually find me researching new destinations, exploring the latest travel trends or planning my own next getaway.

My most memorable holiday
Last year, I was fortunate enough to embark on my dream European honeymoon, an unforgettable journey through some of the world's most iconic destinations. We explored the rich history of London, experienced the romance of Paris, and enjoyed the vibrant culture and cuisine of Barcelona. From there, we travelled through Greece before setting sail on a spectacular Greek Island cruise, visiting beautiful ports and soaking up the
Mediterranean lifestyle. We finished our adventure in Rome, with ancient history and incredible food.

My Passion for travel came along when I made the decision to move to the Whitsunday Islands in 2022. From this experience, I now want to explore and make memories around the world. Knowing that I can use my previous experiences and love for travel to help others with their holiday makes me really happy!

My top picks at the moment are Bali, South Pacific Islands, Thailand and Japan!

I can't wait to tick more destinations off my bucket list!

My most memorable holiday

In March of 2023 when I just moved back to Newcastle from Queensland, my 2 best friends and I went on a cruise to New Zealand. We all shared an inside cabin and had so much fun making friends and partying.

We visited Dunedin, Milford Sound, Christchurch and Wellington. Whilst we were cursing through Milford Sound, we were greeted by some friendly Whales!

 

Sarah Dann

Team Leader

Specialty

I have worked in travel for 13 years. My journey started with a love for exploring new places and has blossomed into a career filled with fun & adventure. When I'm not crafting itineraries, you'll find me with a camera and coffee in hand. As a big foodie, I'm always on the lookout for the next best eatery or cafe.

Travel isn't just my profession; it's a family affair. I have a young family and together, we're always on the hunt for our next great adventure. Whether it's a Caribbean cruise, exploring theme parks or relaxing at a resort, we're in.

My most memorable holiday
My most memorable holiday was exploring Iceland's rugged landscape. Witnessing frozen waterfalls and volcanic terrains was breathtaking. The Blue Lagoon, with its geothermal waters, was a highlight. Equally unforgettable was floating in the Caribbean's crystal-clear waters, surrounded by vibrant marine life and pristine beaches. The contrast between Iceland's icy beauty and the Caribbean's tropical paradise made for an unforgettable travel experience.
