SYDNEY’S Ramsgate Travel Service last week celebrated 40 years in business, and the cruise sector was out in force to mark the milestone of one of Australia’s long-standing sellers of luxury cruise product.
Founded in 1983 by the late legendary Rosemary Peart, the business is now owned by Justine Sealey who recounted the highs and lows over the decades.
Ramsgate was a founding member of the Cruiseco consortium, and Sealey was in the first group of consultants accredited by the fledgling International Cruise Council of Australia (now CLIA) when it was formed in the 1990s.
The agency was also one of the first Australian travel outlets to host cruise expos when it booked out Sharks Leagues Club for events in 1996 and 1998.
The birthday celebration on the shores of the Georges River saw about 100 of Ramsgate’s top clients treated to a special lunch along with presentations from a host of key partners including Oceania, Regent, Viking, Silversea, Abercrombie & Kent, APT, Back-Roads Touring, Uniworld and Crystal.
Sealey is pictured above with Crystal Cruises VP Tony Archbold and Abercrombie & Kent’s Debra Fox and Beth Ellicott.
