Val Rosenberg's Background

I entered the industry in 1990 working initially working for an airline but moved to work in the travel industry in 1996 in South Africa.  I moved to Australia in 2001 and have been working for the same travel company ever since, and specialise in high-end cruising and tours.

My love for travel and in particular cruising started as a child while watching the cruise ships between Auckland and the UK sail away.  It was a love affair from thereon for me.  Travel is something which dominates my thoughts every day and I am already planning my next sojourn while still in some part of the world.  It gives me the greatest thrill to be able to create something for my clients which will create memories to last them forever.  My other love, as for most, are my family and friends.

Destination Recommendation:

Europe - there are so many different cultures, architectures, languages and cuisines to experience. Makes for a diverse holiday experience.

Antarctica – truly amazing and definitely the last frontier

Africa – unique wildlife experiences which can only be experienced in Africa, as well as very different cultures

Alaska – bask in dramatic scenery and wildlife

India – where the people, regardless of status never stop smiling, and where you can balance out the more basic way of life with absolute luxury

Canada – spectacular scenery

Hotel Recommendation:

Laucala Island – Fiji – sheer luxury. Every guest has their own very large villa, swimming pool, private sala, your own stretch of beach, and absolutely all-inclusive with a great choice of restaurants.

Ship Recommendation:

Wind Surf but depends on the experience I am wanting to accomplish. Love Windstar and Holland America but love all luxury ships.
