Retired from day-to-day travel consulting, Doug has a passion for cruising and has eagerly awaited its return so that he can lead local and international departures. With 50 cruises under his belt, his love of cruising is unparalleled.

Doug's Travel Story:

With his first ocean cruise in 1983 around the Pacific Islands and Tahiti, Doug has created an abundance of memories travelling to various destinations. From cruising the Murray River in South Australia to visiting castles in Europe, he has experienced it all. He was even invited to three naming ceremonies; Pacific Princess in Sydney, Anthem of the Seas in Southampton and Oceania Vista in Malta in 2023; testament to his expertise in the cruise market.

Over the years, Doug has taken coach trips throughout Europe, visiting Pompeii and the Italian countryside, and exploring the magnificent Emerald Isles, Canadian Rockies, Alaska, & East Coast Canada & USA.

As Doug approaches almost 30 years as co-owner of Holiday World and serving travellers, he continues to stay ahead of the game with the latest updates and improvements in the industry, thanks to his young and energetic team, Narelle & Tash.
