Where the Magic Happens 🚢
Sometimes, travel isn’t just about the destination—it’s about the incredible people who make it happen. 💜
When a mother and granddaughter faced heartbreak after a cancelled flight almost costing them their dream Disney Cruise, Jacqui Harvey, our amazing Retail Operations Manager, stepped in to save the day. From organising a last-minute dash to Auckland to ensuring Disney held the gangplank just long enough, Jacqui turned what could’ve been a heartbreak into a magical ending.
Stories like these remind us why we love what we do — creating Best. Holidays. Ever! for our customers 💜
Check out this heartwarming, action-packed video to see how our customers’ Disney dream became a reality!
