How does an Australian travel company, specializing in cruises, go from being a two man operation to a staff of over 20 with offices in Sydney and Hong Kong in only nine years? By being the best. ecruising.travel is Australia’s premier cruise only travel agency. Anywhere is possible with ecruising.travel where voyages range a three day “cruise to nowhere” where passengers can unwind at sea to an 18 night trip from Hong Kong to Dubai. ecruising.travel also serves a huge international audience. In 2007 the Italian based Costa Cruise Lines named ecruising.travel the “Best Online Agent in Asia Pacific.” And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Just this past year ecruising.travel received the 2008 Cruise Passengers Reader’s Choice Award and became a Hitwise Top 10 award recipient.

When the domain was released, we were thinking of expanding globally.

In our nine year history .travel has been one of my best decisions.”
