Your holiday your way

While you are on your holiday you can liaise with our partners, representatives, hosts or contact us 24 hours a day for travel assistance. Should you wish to make any changes to your arrangements please notify Holidays of Australia and the World by phone or email.

While we aim to create all inclusive journeys we understand that not everyone has the same travel aspirations, so all of our itineraries are completely flexible. Whether you wish to reserve a different cabin category, spend more time in a certain destination or even hire a car and explore on your own, almost anything is possible with Holidays of Australia and the World.

Getting there While we endeavour to provide departures from all capital cities, we appreciate that our clients are Australia wide, so if you need to leave from an alternative starting point please discuss this with your travel agent so we can assist you with your needs. We are also happy to advise pricing and itineraries for your preferred airline and all categories of air travel type.

Get on board

So take Mark Twain’s advice and ‘throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover’!

We are happy to provide you with assistance in completing your booking from start to finish which is why your consultant will send you a holiday booking form. Completing and returning this allows us to check you and your travel companions in and provide all of the necessary travel documentation which gets you on board quicker and starting your holiday hassle free.
