Travel Expert
Owner Manager at
Croydon Travel part of Your Travel and Cruise
Croydon, Victoria, 3136
My name is Jamie and I have been in the travel industry for 27 years.
In 1994 I began work as a junior travel consultant at Croydon Travel after completing a 2 year Associate Diploma in Travel and Tourism.
Then in 1995 I was awarded as the best first year travel employee at the Australian Travel Awards.
It is now my huge honor to be the owner and manager of Croydon Travel as we celebrate 50 years of servicing our clients and being a trusted brand in the travel industry. The previous owner and my mentor Phil Asker has been an amazing support
I love working with my clients to tailor make their amazing holidays plans. My experience in knowing the best cruise, airline, hotel, tours for each particular client and is something I pride myself on. Areas of expertise would be USA, Europe and South America. However I have been very privileged to plan holidays to virtually everywhere in the world. If I haven’t been there myself, I will find someone who has and give first hand knowledge and feedback.
My interest also is in cruising and the amazing experience of only unpacking once and exploring some many places.
Cruising is a real passion and I have been lucky to experience Silversea, Crystal, Coral Expeditions, Princess, Holland America and Cunard journeys amongst many others.
It would be my pleasure to cater a cruise to your requirements.
I have travelled to over 75 countries and been very lucky to escort tour groups to all the major continents.
My highlights would have to be Cuba, Peru, Alaska, Kenya and my personal favorite cruising the Kimberley from Darwin to Broome.
Over the past 10 years I have taken a real interest in family group travel. I have found multi generational time together to be a real highlight for all involved. Finding the perfect cruise, island getaway or group tour for a variety of age categories is now a real specialty of mine.
I still love travelling and now share that passion with my wife and two daughters.
In 2019 I organised a round world trip for our family for 2 months to Asia, Europe and USA and have some amazing memories.
During the covid times of 2020 it became apparent to me how important an experienced travel advisor is for my clients as we negotiated airline changes, country entry requirements and of course refunds. My clients tell me that by having someone reliable they could contact and assist them gave them extreme confidence in my expertise.
I now look forward to making your travel dreams a reality.
Without a travel agent you are on your own
