About Me

Harbor View from atop the Bridge Pylon Sydney
Harbor View from atop the Bridge Pylon Sydney

Australia and New Zealand are overflowing with remarkable sights, each offering captivating landscapes and a rich tapestry of history that make these destinations truly magical. Many New Zealand cruises are round trips from the vibrant city of Sydney, Australia, making it an ideal starting point for your adventure. Arriving a few days early in Sydney gives you the chance to immerse yourself in its iconic landmarks, including the world-renowned Opera House, the majestic Sydney Harbour Bridge, and countless other attractions.

New Zealand is a land of stunning diversity, with everything from towering mountain peaks to crystal-clear lakes and dramatic coastlines. Explore the geothermal wonders of Rotorua, the breathtaking beauty of the Bay of Islands with its enchanting glow-worm caves, and the awe-inspiring Fjordland National Park, among many other natural treasures.

Having had the privilege of experiencing these extraordinary locations firsthand, I wholeheartedly recommend a cruise to anyone seeking an unforgettable journey!

Our cruise experience
Reviewed By Seattle Cruiser - Seattle, WA | Traveled to Greece | Europe
Jill was recommended to me by my sister in law who is a very active cruiser. My husband and I have taken a few cruises but not recently on a big boat and only a river boat in Europe. We took our grown children who had never cruised before. This made our cruise more complicated and Jill was very helpful with the administrative details on our cruise. I appreciated that she helped as questions came up that were not easy to answer based on the internet information. She was very responsive when I emailed her and contacted the cruise lines several times when needed. No questions or concerns were too small to address. I would recommend her to my friends and family and would use her in the future.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The best experience ever!!
Reviewed By CobbsCrib - Lincoln, CA | Traveled to Alaska | USA
Being that our family doesn't travel often, we were nervous about planning our trip to Alaska. We found Jill through a local Facebook page where several local families recommended her. We couldn't have been happier with our experience! She listened to what we were hoping to do and gave us several options that checked everything off of our list. She was so easy to work with and handled everything, step by step, with complete competence. She is kind and caring and truly wants to make your adventure a trip of a lifetime. Even after having to cancel half of our trip and start over from scratch, she was never less than gracious, understanding, amazingly helpful. We are very thankful to have found Jill Johns to be our travel agent. We would highly recommend her to everyone! You won't be sorry. And we can't wait to have her help us again on our next trip.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

My Travel Stories

Sydney and surrounding - Australia

Australia greeted me with the sparkling blue waters of Sydney Harbour and the hum of a city that knows how to live. My first day began the moment I dropped my bags at the hotel — no time to waste. I hopped on the Hop On, Hop Off bus and let the city unfold before me: the sails of the Opera House catching the sun, the Royal Botanic Garden lush an...

New Zealand

In 2018, another dream voyage unfolded — this time to the breathtaking shores of New Zealand, where every port seemed to open a new chapter in the country’s story. It was a journey stitched together with train rides through rugged gorges, quiet strolls among ancient forests, and the thrill of fjords that rose like cathedrals from the sea. ...
