Cruise Travel Centre Kotara

Cruise Travel Centre Kotara has been a specialist in cruise holidays since opening at Westfield Kotara in 2007. We opened as a first-of-its-kind specialist retail travel agency concept focused entirely on cruising. As cruising continued to grow in popularity and travellers increasingly needed specialist advice to navigate the expanding choice of cruise lines, ships and destinations, that was where we came in!

Today, Cruise Travel Centre Kotara continues to build on that heritage, offering expert cruise knowledge, personalised service and firsthand experience to help customers find the right cruise holiday. As part of Hunter Travel Group, which was established in 1999, we are backed by one of Australia’s largest privately owned travel agency groups. 

Whether you’re planning your first cruise, returning to a favourite cruise line or looking for something completely new, our Kotara team is here to guide you from the initial idea through to your holiday at sea.

I love travelling, although I have only visited one other country other than Australia, which was New Caledonia on a Carnival cruise! It was beautiful, I cannot wait to be back on the water, visiting more beautiful countries. Fun fact: my ultimate dream destination is New York City and has been since I was 8 years old!

My most memorable holiday
My most memorable holiday was definitely the cruise to New Caledonia. The cruise was for my birthday in 2020 which I brought my mum with me! It was the best experience ever! We visited the Piano Bar, comedy show, the adult area, the dive in movie cinema, Carnival had phenomenal activities for us! We went on the train tour around New Caledonia after we went to the markets. Seeing the difference between life on land and life on the water was incredible!

My most memorable holiday
My most memorable holiday would be Costa Rica. Costa Rica has beautiful National Parks, volcano, beaches and wildlife. Seeing sloths and toucans in the wild was definitely one of my main highlights. Costa Rica should be on everyone's bucket list!

Hi, I'm Maddie! I love travelling and the connections and experiences it brings.

My most memorable holiday
Travelling through Europe with my family and best friend is a trip I’ll never forget. From seeing iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Colosseum, and the Vatican, to taking a cooking class in Florence and swimming in the stunning mountain lakes of Switzerland, every experience was amazing. I loved immersing myself in the different cultures and lifestyles and can't wait to go back one day.

My most memorable holiday
India has been one of my favourite holidays so far. I travelled on a group tour with Wendy Wu touring and had an amazing adventure. Seeing the Taj Mahal in person was an unforgettable experience. I loved immersing myself in the culture, exploring the historic temples, and enjoying the incredible cuisine. It was a destination that exceeded all my expectations and left me with memories that will last a lifetime.
