How to make planning your next luxury holiday as seamless as possible

With almost three decades of experience curating bespoke and authentic travel itineraries, Noosa Cruise and Travel remains a leader when it comes to exploring the world in serious style. Leave the holiday planning to the experts and experience a holiday you’ll never forget

“Creating unforgettable travel memories.” That’s the mantra of Natalie Cherry, the owner and manager of Noosa Cruise and Travel based out of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast in Noosa. That’s undeniably what everyone wants when they’re exploring the globe – but not every travel agent gets it right. Not every agent has the first hand experience, contacts, training or knowledge. Her passion is to use her 30 years of connections to open doors for her clients to have exclusive and transformative experiences that create lasting memories.

Natalie says it is always and honour when her clients entrust in her advice when spending their time and money to create memories. I want them to spend their money wisely on the best experience their budget will buy.

“Speaking to a trained specialist in luxury and cruise makes a huge difference,” says Natalie, who has personally been on more cruises than she can count. “I’ve sailed on all manner of luxury vessels, and experienced endless unique itineraries.” There is a cruise for everyone it’s just a matter of finding out what suits the clients personality, budget, wants and needs from a holiday or exploration.

Natalie is currently on board Le Commandant Charcot, the first cruise line to sail the St Lawrence River, Canada, during winter in 200 years. Only possibly as it is an icebreaker. Speaking from onboard she says ‘ This is such a unique itinerary for the adventure minded affluent explorer or client who is seeking a new destination rich in history and local experiences’

Insider luxury knowledge

This insider knowledge also extends to Natalie’s team, which includes respected industry professionals with decades of experience. Natalie herself has visited almost every corner of the planet, from The Kimberley to Papua New Guinea to Morocco, the Cook Islands to the Seychelles, Saudi Arabia, Antarctica to Asia. Mozambique to Mauritius.

Cruising is her passion, whether it be to indulge in luxury, tour new and exciting destinations or experience and adventure on board an expedition ship. Her fondest memories are on board the most amazing vessels such as under sail in the Kimberley on board Le Ponant or carving the ice in search for Emperour Penquins in Antarctica onboard the Ponant’s icebreaker Le Commadant Charcot.

Still, if it isn’t the animals and children in Africa it’s the islands of this world that pull at her heartstrings: her favourite places to relax are Bali, Mauritius, the Maldives and Hawaii, among many other destinations.  

Seeing the world in style

While you don’t have to visit the boutique Noosa Cruise and Travel agency in person – clients from around Australia and the world rely on Natalie and her team to craft luxe itineraries.

Stepping inside the riverfront establishment sets the tone for an unforgettable journey, the space is all travertine stone and natural hues and with views over the water where the river meets the ocean.
