We are thrilled that Southern Crossings’ Directors Sarah Farag (for New Zealand and Fiji) and Stuart Rigg (for Australia) have both again been recognised as leaders in luxury travel featuring on the coveted list of Conde Nast Travel Specialists in 2024.
The annual list of the world’s Top Travel Specialists presents a collection of well-connected destination specialists that can “pull off the impossible and spare you the logistics”.
Stuart and Sarah’s on-going inclusion on the Conde Nast Travel Specialist list is a testament to their in-depth destination knowledge, incomparable local connections and the impeccable luxury travel service they provide.
The Southern Crossings duo have both been recognised on this year’s Conde Nast Travel Specialist list for their expertise in curating one-of-a-kind luxury travel experiences for families, honeymooners and those looking for an Ultraluxe adventure in Australia, New Zealand and/or Fiji.
Living and working in the destinations that they specialise in, Stuart and Sarah are able to share first-hand insights into personally road-tested luxury travel experiences. Their ‘Little Black Books’ of local connections, from both within and beyond the travel industry, unlock access to authentic local experiences that are the key to memory-making travels right across Australia, New Zealand and the idyllic islands of Fiji.
Southern Crossings’ talented Travel Design teams in Sydney and in Auckland share their passion and professionalism to bring personalised luxury travel itineraries to life and provide around-the-clock local support for clients travelling in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.
It should therefore not go without recognising that accolades such as these are accepted with grateful thanks also to the Southern Crossings Travel Design teams in Sydney and in Auckland and to the wonderful local suppliers that Southern Crossings works with across the region: those whose passion and professionalism bring these unique luxury travel experiences to life on a daily basis.
