Business as usual at Global Marine Travel Australia

Global Marine Travel’s Fort Lauderdale, USA based President and New Zealander, Tim Davey, head of the leading supplier globally of air tickets for cruise passengers and ship and yacht crew, has announced the restructuring of GMT’s business in Australia, covering Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.

Tim Davey told The Mole, “GMT set up the business last year in Sydney to cover Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific and we have enjoyed some considerable success.”  “We believe that the time is now right to offer our clients in the region an even better service by taking advantage of improved technology and global communications to rationalise and improve our enquiry, booking and reservation operations.”

He added, “We are leaders in selling flexible and low cost air tickets to cruise passengers and ship and yacht crew in all classes of travel and we realised that as a result of the region’s global position, Australia was the very best location to launch our new global service, a core feature of which will be the introduction very shortly of our new 24/7 service.”

“Global Marine Travel air tickets are unique, in not only that they are they more often than not the lowest fares available for passengers joining cruise ships or for ship or yacht crew, but they also do not have the complicated conditions, complications or restrictions that other tickets have.”

“For example, we do not have “no refunds”, or “no changes” conditions or heavy cancellation fees and we also offer our clients the freedom of arriving in one port, getting on a ship cruising and then flying out of another port, without any penalties and without paying the earth for the traditional open jaw style ticket.” 

“Our tickets are also extremely well priced in all classes of travel and we believe, no we know that we are extremely competitive!”

“Our regular Sydney number +61 2 9299 9245 [02 9299 9245] now seamlessly connects all our clients to our global call centres, providing the very best levels of service [shortly 24/7] and of course the very best fares, with no restrictive conditions and we believe, the greatest degree of flexibility available in the market today, perfect for cruise passengers and ship and yacht crews.”

For a really speedy and accurate response with the very best fares, airlines and routes anywhere in the world, trade clients seeking information, fare quotes and bookings should email GMT as follows: –

FOR CRUISE FARES: [email protected]; and

FOR SHIP OR YACHT CREW FARES: [email protected]  

“We are also very fortunate that GMT has a newly structured management and sales presence in Australia to cover the region with John Alwyn-Jones fulfilling a Director role and aviation sector icon Paul Glaser, a Regional Business Development and Key Account Manager Australia role, with our operation in Sydney effectively becoming a sales office.”

“We also plan to recruit State Business Development and Key Account Managers for Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania and Western Australia and Northern Territory, plus a Business Development and Key Account Manager for New Zealand and the South Pacific.”
