A WORD FROM PETE
Dear valued clients,
Since our last edition of 'Travel Talk,' it has been an incredibly busy period. We've
witnessed a record number of travellers making up for lost time, reconnecting with
loved ones, revisiting favourite destinations, and embarking on new adventures. There
is a noticeable trend towards multi-generational travel and small groups travelling
together, emphasising the importance of quality time spent together.
Over the past few months, our team and I have presented in numerous events. We
have showcased the benefits of travelling around Europe by coach, launched the
Canada and Alaska and the ever-popular Europe River Cruise 2025 Seasons and so
much more. It has been truly incredible to see so many new and existing loyal clients
attend these events.
Cruising demand continues to surge to record levels, with new ships being launched
in every category. The move to luxury has been remarkable, with clients recognising
the value of all-inclusive cruising.
In exciting news, PHT has launched the national Platinum Cruise Club, initially
comprising nine luxury cruise line members offering exclusive deals and value-
added amenities. We are also thrilled to announce that PHT has been recognised
nationally, winning Australia’s Best Cruise Travel Agency at the Cruise Line International
Association (CLIA) awards. This accolade was voted on by the cruise lines in
attendance and is fantastic recognition for our amazing team, who work tirelessly
to stay abreast of the latest and greatest in cruising through training and their own
cruising experiences.
Finally, we are delighted to announce that Emirates will be returning to Adelaide from
October this year, joining Singapore, Qatar, and Malaysian Airlines as our international
carriers flying from Adelaide. Keep an eye out for European Earlybird airfares, coming soon!
We hope you enjoy this edition of Travel Talk and look forward to seeing you at one of
our events, including the PHT Expo in October, or in one of our nine branches soon.
Join the PHT community to go in the draw
for monthly prizes and the latest deals!
