Travel Information

What to wear

Being casual and comfortable is a part of life in Australia. Weather in the South Pacific region can be hot during the daytime, yet cool in the evening—the “layered look” is a must! You may need a light jacket for both cool weather and potential rain. (A sweater may also be desired for comfort in air conditioned public areas.) Bring comfortable shoes to wear as moderate walking is required and streets can be uneven or rough.

Travel to Sydney and from Melbourne

We can arrange airline tickets and other personalized travel. We are able to quote fares for all airlines and look for the best prices. Pre and post-tour packages are available at an additional cost for those who would like to arrive early a day or stay in Melbourne after the tour ends.

To explore all that New Zealand has to offer, consider joining us on our New Zealand Adventure Quilt Seminar at Sea immediately prior to the start of this tour.

Travel Insurance

The purchase of trip cancellation, travel accident and baggage insurance is strongly recommended. There are many uncertainties and unforeseen circumstances involved in our world; therefore we strongly recommend the purchase of travel insurance. It will provide coverage in the event of cancellation of your trip due to unforeseeable sickness, injury or death to you, a family member, or a traveling companion. In addition, it will provide coverage for travel accidents, baggage loss or damage, and medical evacuation. This insurance coverage is available at a rate, which varies by your age and the cost of your cruise.

You will be completely covered, waiving all pre-existing conditions, only if the insurance is purchased at the time of deposit, and you cover the full amount of your cruise, including taxes and fees. Please complete the section on the registration form (below) regarding insurance.

We cannot accept your registration unless this is completed and signed.
