About

Travel is our therapy.

Who are we?

We are Shaun and Ilana Ornellas. We live in Melbourne Australia and are passionate about our region. Most of our travel is done by cruising.

The destination

We have experienced most parts of Australia, from Melbourne to Sydney, the Gold Coast to Adelaide. From Perth to the Sydney Harbour bridge and the Opera house. This country is amazing.

The experience

Come experience Australian hospitality, as well see the sites of New Zealand, such as Hobiton and Dunedin (the University city), Wellington, the windy city and capital of New Zealand to the city of Auckland.

we have one & it’s awesome!

The story

It all started with

a good view…

February 2016 we took our first cruise on the Golden Princess in celebration of our upcoming nuptials in April of that year. Our cruise took us from Melbourne to New Zealand and back. The best 12 days we had ever spent.

We circumnavigated New Zealand and before we got off the ship, booked our next cruise, and we have been hooked ever since. Not only are we hooked on cruising, but we are also hooked on our region. The South Pacific is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

We continued

our journey…

Since the First cruise, we have chosen cruising as our holiday of choice. Why you ask? where else can you have your travel, accomodation, entertainment, food and activities all provided for a single price.

The only wish is that we hope to

travel yearly…

We are working on cruising the world with current and new friends so that we can get to see new parts of the world and different cultures and foods to enrich our lives and our friends.

We also want to take deserving people with us so that they can have the same experiences that we are privileged to have.

we have that one too

The vision

We want to get as many of you to come Downunder and see how and where we live. Come and enjoy our food, our sites, our entertainment, our monuments and culture.

we like to take selfies

In February of 2016, we went on our first cruise. It was at that point that we both decided we wanted to get as many people from around the world as possible to come and see where we live and to enjoy our environment.
