🚒 Celebrity Cruises 2028/29 β€” bookings are now open!

A little heads-up for those of you who like to plan ahead β€” Celebrity Cruises has now opened bookings for their 2028/29 Australia, Asia and Japan sailings.

There are 23 voyages departing from Sydney or Auckland, with cruises ranging from 4 to 14 nights.

And there are some interesting itineraries in the mix…

πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅ Japan
Celebrity Millennium will be sailing Japan in both spring and autumn, so you can choose your season β€” including the chance to experience Japan during cherry blossom season.

🌏 Southeast Asia
There are winter sailings on Celebrity Solstice and Celebrity Millennium, visiting places such as Bangkok, Bali and Hanoi, along with other ports in the region.

πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί Australia & New Zealand
Celebrity Edge and Celebrity Solstice will be offering a selection of sailings departing from Sydney and Auckland.

I know quite a few of you like to plan your bigger trips well ahead, so if Japan, Asia or a Celebrity cruise is on your list for 2028/29, these are now worth looking at.

And of course, if you're not sure which itinerary, cabin or sailing would suit you, that's where I come in. πŸ˜‰

TRAVEL DEBATE πŸ‘€βœˆοΈ this may be a bit controversial but here goes. .

Everybody agreed to meet in the hotel lobby at 8:00 AM for the excursion.It's 8:15.One person is STILL upstairs getting dressed.

😩The driver is waiting and everybody else is ready.

What are we doing?

A. We're waiting. We came together, we're leaving together.

B. We're calling your room ONE more time. πŸ˜‚

C. We're leaving. You knew what time we had to be downstairs.

✌🏾

And be honest… are YOU the person everybody is always waiting on? πŸ‘€

What would you choose ?

🚨 A LITTLE BIRD HAS TOLD ME… 🚨 There’s an update coming for us Aussie Princess cruisers travelling internationally! πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸš’

A little bird has told me about a change coming to Princess Plus and Princess Premier. Although I haven't received the official communication from Princess directly just yet, I thought I'd give you all a heads-up so you're aware of what appears to be coming.

From 13 October, Australians purchasing Princess Plus or Princess Premier for an international Princess cruise operating in USD will have Crew Appreciation (gratuities) included in the package. πŸ™Œ

The new pre-cruise pricing will be:

✨ Princess Plus β€” A$89 per person, per day
✨ Princess Premier β€” A$139 per person, per day

For comparison, Crew Appreciation on international USD cruises is currently charged separately at:

πŸ’° US$18 pp/day β€” Interior, Oceanview & Balcony
πŸ’° US$19 pp/day β€” Mini-Suite, Cabana & Reserve Collection
πŸ’° US$20 pp/day β€” Suites

πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί What about cruises from Australia?

For Australian homeport cruises operating in AUD, nothing changes.

Crew Appreciation is already included in the cruise fare and the package pricing remains:

✨ Princess Plus β€” A$79 pp/day
✨ Princess Premier β€” A$129 pp/day

⚠️ Important: The new international package pricing and inclusion of Crew Appreciation applies to packages purchased from 13 October 2026 onwards.

For those of you who cruise internationally with Princess, this is certainly something to be aware of when you're looking at the cost of Plus or Premier from 13 October.

And, as always, the way you choose to manage gratuities when cruising internationally is a personal decision. Some cruisers prefer to have them included, while others prefer to tip individual crew members directly.

Now I'm curious to hear what you think! πŸ‘‡

Will having Crew Appreciation included change the way you look at Princess Plus or Premier for an international cruise?

And if you've previously purchased one of these packages, will this change your decision next time?

🚒 7 Ways Cruise Cover Can Help at Sea

Cruising is one of the most relaxing ways to travel β€” but when something unexpected happens, having the right travel insurance can make a huge difference.

Cruise Cover from Cover-More Travel Insurance can provide protection for situations such as:

βš“ A visit to the ship’s doctor
You roll your ankle on deck and need medical attention onboard.

πŸ₯ A medical transfer to hospital
You become seriously ill and need to be transferred from the ship to a hospital on land.

🀒 Unexpected illness at sea
You become severely seasick and require medical treatment.

❌ Cancelling before you sail
Something unexpected happens before departure and you need to cancel your trip.

πŸ›οΈ Confined to your cabin
A doctor orders you to remain in your cabin for several days.

🚒 Missing the ship
A delayed transfer means the ship leaves without you.

🌊 Missing a pre-paid tour
Bad weather or another event outside your control means you can't make a booked shore excursion.

And that's just some of the things to think about when insuring a cruise.

Cruise holidays have some unique risks that you don't necessarily encounter on a land-based holiday β€” which is why it's important to make sure your travel insurance is suitable for your cruise and that you understand what you're covered for.

πŸ’™ Planning a cruise? Don't leave your insurance until the last minute.

If you're booking your next cruise through Fare Way Travel, I'm happy to help you understand the travel insurance options available for your trip.

Travel insurance terms, conditions, limits, exclusions and eligibility criteria apply. Cover-More policies differ, so always read the relevant Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) before purchasing to understand what is and isn't covered.

πŸ‡°πŸ‡·βœ¨ Mum & Daughter Adventure in South Korea! βœ¨πŸ‡°πŸ‡·

One week, two generations, and an amazing time exploring South Korea! πŸ’•

Some of my lovely travellers recently headed off on a week-long holiday to South Korea β€” a special mum-and-daughter trip β€” and they absolutely loved it!

From exploring the sights and experiencing the culture to discovering just how HUGE the beauty industry is over there, they came home with plenty of wonderful memories (and, I suspect, a few new beauty products! πŸ˜‰).

πŸ’†β€β™€οΈ Beauty treatments and skincare are a big part of everyday life in South Korea, and it was definitely something they wanted to experience while they were there.

They described South Korea as amazing and came back loving their time there β€” another reminder that sometimes the best holidays are about experiencing somewhere completely different together. ❀️

Thank you to Ange and Lexie for sharing a glimpse of their trip with me!

✈️ Thinking about a South Korea getaway?
Whether it's a mum & daughter escape, a first-time visit to Seoul, or a bigger adventure through South Korea, I'd love to help you put it together.

Where would you explore first in South Korea? πŸ‡°πŸ‡·πŸ‘‡
