These regions typically start DST on the first Sunday in October and end it on the first Sunday in April the following year.

Queensland (QLD)
Western Australia (WA)

The term "Travel" has its origins in the Old French word "travail."
Originally, "travail" referred to a journey or a laborious effort (hence why in modern French it can also mean to work).
Over time, its meaning evolved to encompass the broader concept of travelling or journeying, leading to the modern English term "travel."

**** CRUISE 🛳 CRUISE 🛟CRUISE 🚢 CRUISE ⚓️CRUISE ⛴ ***
The CRUISE word is a lot like - a heavenly leisurely fun-filled holiday for some; whilst for others, sheer dread, the mere thought. Most usually because they've never experienced it, or if they have experienced it once, maybe twice, were quite likely and sadly ill-advised by "friends" when they did have a try at cruising.
Rest assured: There is a CRUISE SHIP, something for each and every one of us and it's our job here at GALLIVANT TRAVEL to help you make the best and most informed decision by guiding, helping you CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHIP - for YOU.
One major lowdown is SIZE matters ... which not surprisingly (but not necessarily), is then usually inversely related to the second priority - Price. 🤑🧐
Size, along with price and the sailing destination, matters when selecting the right ship to Cruise & sail away into the sunset.
Roughly speaking SIZE when cruising, falls into 4 categories:

(1) Boutique Ships - 50-250 passengers
(2) Small Cruise Ships - 250-750 passengers
(3) Mid-size cruise ships: 750-2500 passengers
(4) Large Resort cruise ships: 2500-6000 passengers

Bear in mind that smaller ships will usually command a premium price, as they represent the upper scale of cruising, they most often include a lot of extras in the price, getting ashore is speedy and easy, access to smaller more intimate locales, with offbeat prettier more scenic ports, less structured more intimate experiences and true gourmet culinary experiences.
Larger ships can be a destination in themselves, they will offer more onboard often communal slanted experiences such as several dining options, lavish Broadway Las Vegas-style production shows, and casino gaming, and a plus for many - they sail more "comfortably" in inclement seas.
There is no wrong or right, a one size fits all in Cruising, but we confidently know and believe - Cruising truly offers something for every type of holiday seeker.
