We are thrilled that Southern Crossings’ Directors Sarah Farag (for New Zealand and Fiji) and Stuart Rigg (for Australia) have both been recognised as leaders in personalised luxury travel to our beautiful part of the world, featuring on the coveted global list of Conde Nast Travel Specialists again in 2024.
The publication’s annual list of the world’s Top Travel Specialists presents a collection of well-connected destination specialists from around the globe that can “pull off the impossible and spare you the logistics”.
Stuart and Sarah’s on-going inclusion on this list is a testament to their in-depth destination knowledge, incomparable local connections and the impeccable ‘above and beyond’ service that they provide.
The Southern Crossings duo have both been recognised on this year’s 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 both specialise in, Stuart and Sarah are able to share first-hand insights into personally road-tested local 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 the region.
Southern Crossings’ talented Travel Design teams in Sydney and in Auckland share their passion and professionalism to bring personalised itineraries to life and provide around-the-clock local support for clients travelling in the lands Down Under.
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 on both sides of the Tasman and to the wonderful local suppliers that Southern Crossings works with right across the region: those whose passion and professionalism bring these unique experiences to life on a daily basis.
