WHY CHOOSE PREMIER HOLIDAYS ?
THE PERSONAL TOUCH
Premier is not your average travel company ! We are extremely proud of our longevity ( founded in 1936 ), our independence , our strong family values , our reputation and , most importantly , our fabulous long-serving experienced staff – a combination , which has made us the wellrespected , trustworthy , knowledgeable and reliable travel company that we are today . We believe that holidays bring people together , deliver new experiences and create wonderful memories that last a lifetime – we love to be a part of this ! We care about your holiday as though it were our own , because although it ’ s our business we know it ’ s your dream .
WELL-TRAVELLED
Our team of Travel Experts are just that – experts ! Many of them have been part of the Premier family for more than 10 years , some more than 30 , and all have personal knowledge of the holiday destinations we feature . They understand how to plan an itinerary , taking into account any preferences , and making the most of the time and budget you have available .
HANDCRAFTED HOLIDAYS
Our brochure is just a starting point … but one , which , we hope , will inspire you . Whether you are looking to immerse yourself in culture , join an escorted tour - be it with a group of like-minded travellers or privately escorted , take an amazing rail journey , enjoy the excitement of a wildlife encounter , while away the day on a relaxing beach , soak up the culture , or a bit of everything , we can tailor-make your holiday to suit your individual requirements . You tell us what you want and we ’ ll arrange it ! No holiday is too complex for us to handle and no detail will ever be too small to be important .
KEEPING YOUR MONEY SAFE
We know that in a world of uncertainty , it ’ s vital to have confidence in the company you choose for your holiday . All our holidays are financially protected – flight inclusive holidays are covered by our ATOL licence and holidays and services which don ’ t include a flight are covered by the bond we hold with ABTA . Put simply , in the unlikely event something happens to us , you get your money back .
HOLIDAY PRICES
All the accommodation and tour lead-in prices shown throughout this brochure are based on the best value travel dates in low season ( which will vary according to destination ). Flight prices to Australasia and the South Pacific change constantly , so call for today ’ s best available deals . Each tour has a ‘ What you need to know ’ box which shows operating dates and details inclusions .
YOUR PLACE TO STAY
There isn ’ t an official universal hotel grading system in use across Australasia & the South Pacific so , to help you , we have graded the hotels ourselves using star ratings . These are not official and are for your guidance only : -
★★★ Comfortable and great value .
★★★★ Usually a higher standard and with a wider selection of amenities .
PLUS This indicates the property is above average and just short of the next grading .
★★★★★ Deluxe hotels offering exemplary standards of service , accommodation and facilities .
★★★★★LUXURY For those who require the ultimate in luxury , attentive service and spectacular amenities .
BOUTIQUE Often smaller properties with less than 20 rooms and offering more personal space and service .
In most hotels you also have a choice of room types , either to guarantee a specific view or treat yourself to a suite .
PREMIER PLUS
Our aim is to offer the best value for money possible , so not only do we ensure we have the best prices , but some superb added-value offers , which can save you money . Look out for the Premier Plus deals throughout the brochure , which will highlight offers such as :
Free nights | Free or discounted meals Family offers | Honeymoon & wedding anniversary offers
UNMISSABLE EXPERIENCES
In most destinations we have a selection of excursions , experiences and attraction tickets which are sure to enhance your holiday . Those featured are just a selection of our favourites but there are many more available .
CRUISE & STAY
Setting sail on a cruise is a great way to discover the thrill of waking up somewhere new every day , without the need to pack and unpack . Perhaps you fancy a cruise taking in both Australia and New Zealand , discovering the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef or the paradise islands of the South Pacific ? We work with some of the world ’ s best cruise lines and , by adding in pre and post cruise stays , we can create your perfect voyage of discovery .
SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL
Travel is a luxury , to which we all aspire . But we recognise that there are mounting pressures to be aware of our individual carbon footprints . Whilst some might consider that this precludes travel by air , others will feel that , by travelling responsibly , they can still enjoy the enrichment of experiencing new countries and their cultures , but , at the same time , give something back to those communities visited .
As a travel company , you won ’ t be surprised that we think there is a middle ground . There are airlines which use aircraft and fuel which minimise harmful emissions , plus we are also happy to offer alternative means of travelling from A to B – for example , some trains or ships can provide a much more relaxing experience .
Several of our escorted tours feature an array of unique experiences that make travel matter , now and in the future .
You may want to consider accommodation which is locally owned and aims to source as many of the products they serve locally too , thus supporting local businesses and people ; and whilst some may not be 5 star luxury , we can guarantee that they offer a personalised experience which will stand out . Look out for our logo to highlight hotels regarded for their sustainability practices .
Whilst planning activities at your holiday destination , there are often ways to experience local life without using motorised transport – for example , walking tours give a much more immersive experience into local life and a cycle tour can offer you the opportunity to get to places which a coach can ’ t reach .
We recognise that everyone makes these choices daily and we ’ re more than happy to talk to you about destinations , accommodation and activities , which will enable you to travel smarter .
