A new partnership between
eWaterways and Jetset
Travelworld Group will simplify
the process for Australians
seeking “niche” cruises.
THE Melbourne-based operation of small ship
specialists eWaterways has joined forces with
the Jetset Travelworld Group (JTG) to open up
cruising options for Australian travellers.
According to eWaterways, the deal will
connect JTG’s travel agents with more than
1,500 itineraries that were previously
“traditionally difficult” to find and book.
Selections include river cruises, theme
cruises, expedition voyages, sailing
adventures, hotel barging on European canals,
rice junkets in Asia, ice breakers in the Arctic
and yacht journeys around the world.
The system will enable booking automation
for JTG network members including: Best
Cruises, Concorde Agency Network, Harvey
World Travel, Jetset Travelworld Network and
Travelscene American Express.
“We are very excited about this partnership,” said
Peter Smith, GM, eWaterways Australia/NZ.
“The partnership with JTG is indicative of
how important this once ‘esoteric’ product is,
and how it is quickly developing into the
mainstream cruising market here in Australia.”
eWaterways currently offers the world’s
largest selection of small ship cruises.
Smith said the company was a “unique and
comprehensive niche cruise provider that only
deals in small ships” and “new and interesting
products”.
