Your next cruise isn’t just a booking. It’s time away, moments together, stories you’ll tell for years. Let’s do it properly.
Create the Trips You Will Talk About for Years
The Mediterranean at sunset.
Cherry blossoms in Japan.
That first morning coffee on your balcony at sea.
These are not transactions.
They are moments you will remember long after the suitcase is unpacked.
The Cruise & Travel Club exists to make sure those moments are planned properly, protected early, and supported from the start.
When you join, you are not just getting perks.
You are giving your next trip the care it deserves.
💳 Build Value Before You Sail
Every month, you build $50 or $100 in Voyage Credits.
By the time you are ready to book, you have already created real value toward your next cruise, tour, hotel or resort stay.
You start ahead, not scrambling.
🚫 Less Stress When Plans Change
We waive custom package and change fees because real life happens.
Flexibility matters when flights move, cabins change, or you decide to upgrade the experience.
📦 Protection That Travels With You
Members receive up to 40% off travel insurance, lost luggage protection, birthday bonuses and other thoughtful benefits designed to protect the experience, not just the booking.
🎁 Begin With an Advantage
Each membership year, your first trip includes 5% off the base fare.*
It is a simple way to begin every cruise already ahead.
*excluding taxes, fees & port expenses
The Part Most Travellers Don’t Think About
The moment you pay the deposit feels exciting.
But what if you rushed it?
What if you could have gotten better value?
What if the best cabins were already allocated?
What if you were booking publicly when you could have been booking more exclusively?
Travel is too meaningful to leave to chance.
There Is a Better Way to Start Your Next Cruise
Imagine booking knowing you have already built value toward the trip.
Imagine feeling calm instead of rushed.
Imagine knowing you did not leave anything on the table.
That is what membership changes.
You stop reacting.
You start planning with intention.
You travel knowing it was done properly.
The Cruise & Travel Club exists for travellers who care about getting it right.

This is not about chasing deals.
It is about making sure your travel spending works for you.
Cancel anytime.
Your accumulated Voyage Credits remain valid according to your tier terms.
Who the Cruise & Travel Club isn’t for
We want every member to get real value out of their membership… so let’s be upfront.
This Club probably isn’t the right fit for you if:
- You’re only looking for the cheapest deals or chasing last-minute discounts
- You don’t plan to cruise, tour, or travel internationally in the next 12 months
- You prefer to plan and book everything yourself with no support
- You typically book short, budget getaways or low-cost holidays
- You’re not interested in personalised service or long-term travel benefits
The Cruise & Travel Club is built for travellers who want more than just a booking… they want premium experiences, real rewards, and a travel adviser who understands what matters most to them.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to welcome you onboard.
Kind words from our clients
Our community of travellers isn’t just growing — it’s thriving. Here’s what some of our clients have to say about the value, support, and unforgettable experiences they’ve enjoyed with S.W. Black Travel:
Earlier this year we returned from an incredible 4-week trip along the West Coast of the USA, and we owe a huge thank you to our travel agent, Shane Black. From start to finish, Shane made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Every detail was perfectly organized — from flights and accommodation to car rentals and excursions.
He truly listened to what we wanted and tailored the itinerary to suit our style and interests. His local knowledge and recommendations added so much value to the trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better planner and partner for our adventure. Highly recommended!

CruiseThanks to Shane we’ve had two seamless holidays within 6months – a cruise and a trip to Hawaii! Shane has been extremely helpful and knowledgeable, from providing advice on optimising our itinerary to sorting out last minute issues that popped while on the trip.
