We had a chat with Kylie from YOU Travel & Cruise about the best travel advice for wine and food lovers.
What sets YOU Travel & Cruise apart?
The one thing that sets us apart from the rest of the retail industry is our passionate & professional travel advisors. They have many years of experience and continue to upskill and deliver the best service to our customers. This is backed by the recent Canstar results for 2024 where YOU Travel & Cruise received the highest Star Rating in Overall Satisfaction with a 5 star rating in all categories, which has never been achieved in the past by former winners. This makes YOU Travel & Cruise the Most Satisfied Customers Award winner for 2024. When a customer enlists the expertise of a YOU Travel Advisor they will not be disappointed, as our team go above and beyond.​
What is your favourite food and wine destination right now?
The most popular food & wine destinations that are selling for us at present are the Mediterranean & Japan, both have a vast array of travel options. From river cruising through the stunning wine region of Bordeaux to food & wine destinations closer to home like Tasmania & South Australia, where extended city breaks or self-drive options are extremely popular. If Ocean cruising is something you are yet to consider, I would highly recommend Oceania Cruises who has the finest cuisine at sea!
​
Do you have any advice for what to book in the year ahead?
If anyone is considering cruising we would highly recommend booking as soon as you see an itinerary of interest. We have cruise experts within our teams who can assist with finding the perfect cruise for you, even if you are new to cruise they can ensure you are matched with the right cruise line which is paramount! The popularity of cruising has reached unprecedented levels, there are many more destinations, amazing innovations within all aspects of cruising, river, ocean and expedition. Cruising allows you to unpack once and enjoy your holiday.
Japan as a destination and any expedition travel are the most popular holiday options so we recommend booking in advance! The capacity of air travel is returning so there are still limitations to many destinations. Get in quick to secure your booking and by booking with a YOU Travel & Cruise Advisor you will be well looked after.
