Meet with Ecruising Experienced Crew

Travel has become more than just a hobby for me, it has become more of a lifestyle! I have travelled from such a very young age, and since then travelled extensively around the world. I have been fortunate to travel to over 30 countries, been on over 40 different ships ranging from the world’s largest ship, to the most luxurious and even iconic rail journeys such as the Indian Pacific and The Ghan! You know you’re addicted to travel when you plan a holiday while on an existing trip!

From my experience travelling to many places, I am confident to say a cruise holiday is the way to go. There is nothing better than enjoying a cocktail by the pool docked in a spectacular and unique port, then waking up the following morning in another port stressed free, relaxed and ready to explore what the world has to offer.

I read somewhere that travel is the only thing you buy that you get richer – and I couldn’t agree more! I have been very fortunate to have spent my working life in an industry I love. I have worked in many areas of travel, including airlines, tour companies, wholesale and corporate travel and owning my own retail travel business. Cruising has always been at the top of the list – my favourite way to travel. I have seen incredible growth in cruising – from the days of the first Oriana sailing the South Pacific and Asia out of Sydney in the 1970’s and 80’s and the “Fairstar” the first real “fun ship” down under. Today we are so spoilt for choice, from mega-liners soon to sail our shores to intimate small ships – there is a ship for everyone – and I have the privilege every day, researching and recommending cruise solutions to our customers. At eCrusing I am excited to be working with a wonderful team of like-minded people – passionate about what they do, offering unique cruise holiday itineraries and planning unforgettable holiday experiences.

I have travelled extensively, and as Susan Sontag once said: “I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list”. A personal highlight for me recently was spending a week on the Canal Midi in France with my sons, partners and grand-daughter.We chartered a hotel barge – what a wonderful way to enjoy the delights of Southern France while sharing a very special time with my family – definitely a different style of cruising, and one I would absolutely recommend.

I have been in the travel industry for more than 20 years and am excited to now learn everything about the cruising industry with ecruising. I have travelled to America, Hawaii, Canada, Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Bali and even did a South Pacific cruise on the old Fairstar the fun ship many years ago. I would one day love to explore Europe, but so far my favourite place to visit is New York.

Ever since my first overseas trip as an 18 year old on a European Contiki tour, my eyes have been wide open to the amazing world of travel! I feel so fortunate to live in an era where we have so many affordable and accessible options to experience the world around us, given my Nanna never even stepped foot onto a plane!

My travels have seen me reach Europe and the UK multiple times, South East Asia, New Zealand, Fiji, Indonesia and of course many of Australia’s top destinations. Next on the list is New York! I’ve been in the industry for four years now and am here to stay... What better way to spend my day than helping others reach new and exciting destinations!

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but having new eyes". That is my idea of travelling and indeed it 'only' took me to fly across the ocean, from Italy to Sydney, to redefine myself completely.

I am a solo-traveller and love to see beauty through my eyes and my lenses, as, being a designer, I am an aesthetics seeker. Also I am extremely fashinated by nature and the peaceful landscapes that simply conquer your soul. If I am not creating design artworks, you will probably find me lost somewhere in the mountains (possibly DOlomites).

My dream destination? NEW ZEALAND!

Australian born travel has always been a part of my life. I have travelled extensively throughout Europe, Asia and North America and lived in Singapore, Hong Kong and Indonesia . Extensive experience in air and cruise line sales and customer service has brought me to ecruising.travel to manage the POSH Club and LATITUDE33 SUMMIT SOCIETY. I love meeting and connecting with these members and learning their story!

Travel is in my blood, it is my passion and I have been very fortunate to travel to around 40 countries during my life, but I am always keen to see and experience more.

I never tire of visiting Europe, and still have a few countries left to visit, so I can tick off the whole map of Europe. More recently I have been visiting the Americas, south and north and can’t wait to see more of this diverse part of the world. I took my first cruise 6 years ago, and am now hooked on cruising and love hearing others stories of cruises they have been on – by far the most relaxing and hassle free of any kind of travel. To have the majority of your holiday costs included in your cruise fare is amazing value, leaving your time to enjoy your experience. Where else can you wake up in a different port every day and enjoy so many activities, entertainment and dining options just a short stroll from your cabin…

I am very excited to be part of the Ecruising team and very much look forward to helping you plan and book your next cruise holiday and making your holiday one to remember.

I was born and raised in Indonesia, beautiful country with a lot of interesting places to visit. Since I was a kid, I’ve always been dreaming to travel around the world. For me, travelling is not only to experience new things, it’s also to meet new people and of course to taste the food.

I will never forget all of the experiences. Especially when I went to China, explored The Great Barrier Reef, had so much fun with the rides in Tokyo Disneyland and went to amazing places in Tasmania. I won’t stop to create more beautiful memories and next on my list would be Greece!

I was born and raised in a small German coastal town, Rostock, which is well-known as Germany’s largest cruise port. I have been fascinated by different countries and cultures from a very young age, mainly due to seeing a new cruise ship in the harbour every day and seeing their international passengers. I studied Tourism Management in Germany and while studying discovered my love for travelling, first locally and when I was 21, moving to Australia for a 5-month internship. I have lived and worked in Australia, New Zealand and Germany and travelled to over 20 countries. I love cruising and the idea of unpacking once and waking up in a different destination every day.

My favourite travel destination so far was probably Venice - I loved the hidden laneways, colourful buildings, car-free city centre and the amazing Seafood, pasta and wine. While living overseas I discovered my love for Germany and its diversity ranging from snow-cupped mountains to the Baltic Sea, from cosmopolitan cities to medieval towns, from the Octoberfest to the Black Forest. There is just so much to discover and explore and it is not just Sausages, Sauerkraut and Beer.

“The world is a book, and those who do not travel only ever read one page” and I have been lucky enough to open up the world for others for the past 3 years and I couldn't think of better career path than the Travel Industry.

The highlight of Travel Industry for me is being able to help guide, create and recommend once in a lifetime holidays for my clients. This can be anything from a short family cruise to a grand world voyage. Where-ever your travel dreams may take you I will be more than happy to work alongside you to make then a reality.

Personally I have been fortunate enough to experience multiple destinations across the world such as; North America including Hawaii and both the West and East coast, South Pacific Islands including Fiji, Vanuatu and New Caledonia, South East Asia including Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Singapore and of course our own backyard Australia.
