About Me

Miles of smiles that you just can't fake.
Miles of smiles that you just can't fake.

G'day, I've been employed as cabin crew for an international airline for more than 35 years. As such I've had a unique opportunity to travel the world in a way people rarely people get to do.

As such my experience and insights into all things travel is second to none.

It was from my career flying the world as a crew member that I established FAB - The Flight Attendant Business Network which is a huge presence across all social media platforms.

I have been an avid cruiser for most of that time and cruised on virtually all the cruise lines from budget to high end, from the mega-ships to small expedition ones. I know them inside out, the good, to the bad and the ugly.

Over the years because of my ferocious passion for all things nautical, I evolved to be the go-to Guru for all things Cruise related within my airline and from that, I started sharing my knowledge and finding cruises for all of my colleagues. 

So that's how I fell into selling cruises - fellow crew literally forced me to turn my extensive insider knowledge into what has become a thriving business. 

And the rest is history. Now with many years under my belt, focused on finding incredible deals for aviation employees I have now expanded to provide the same service for everyone else -tracking down last-minute discounts on high-end ships. 

My focus has always been on finding out what you, the client want which must take into account variables such as style, service, demographic and budget. What is the perfect fit for you, will be not right for someone else. 

If you're going on a honeymoon, you want the most romantic cruise possible. Middle-aged, you don't want a whole heap of walking frames. But if you're elderly you'd naturally prefer an older demo. Travelling with kids you want water parks and kids clubs. 

This is what we do, and what makes us different.

We take the time to find the perfect cruise for you.

If you come to us and want to book a substandard ship we will warn you against wasting your money.

That might lose us money in the short term, but in the end, our retention levels, at over 95% reflect the high value we place on honesty and integrity. 

I now have a team of six - all long-serving cabin crew, who share my thirst and passion for the cruise industry you won't find anywhere else. 

To many young agents sadly have to sell cruises on ships they have never sailed on. That is fraught with danger for them, just as much as it is for you. 

Put us to the test.

Keep Cruising!
Reviewed By Lozzie19 - Semaphore South | Traveled to Athens | Greece | Europe
We are looking forward to our third cruise booked through James and his team. This time cruising the Kimberley. James and his team introduced us to holidays on the sea and we are well and truly hooked. Our experience so far has been incredible. James always releases fantastic deals, it’s exciting to see what he has on offer every week. His team work one on one to get the best results. Their availability is second to none, their professionalism and commitment are evident from start to finish.
