Southern Crossings
Australia, New Zealand and Fiji
Why we love Southern Crossings
Founded in 1986, Southern Crossings was born from a love of travel, hospitality, and the desire to showcase the unparalleled landscapes and rich cultures of Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. Over the decades, they’ve grown into one of the most respected DMCs in the region — still boutique in size, but big on heart, service, and ambition.
With teams based in Australia and New Zealand, and strong partnerships throughout the islands of Fiji, they specialise in creating one-of-a-kind experiences that go beyond sightseeing. Think private vineyard tastings with the winemaker, stargazing with an astronomer under the namesake Southern Cross, or exploring remote island communities in style.
What sets Southern Crossings apart is not just what they know, but who they know. Their long-standing local connections open doors for guests to experience places and people in ways that are immersive, authentic, and unforgettable.
Australia
The allure of Australia is well-known to many within the luxury travel sector, yet its sheer diversity continues to surprise and captivate even the most seasoned travellers. This vast continent delivers an astonishing range of travel experiences, from the ancient red heart of the Outback to the vibrant cosmopolitan cities, and from the pristine white sands of its coastal fringes to the lush, ancient rainforests. It’s a land of breathtaking contrasts and endless possibilities.
Thanks to Southern Crossings’ deep local knowledge and strong supplier relationships, you’ll always have access to the best guides, hidden gems, and luxury stays. If your clients are looking for an antipodean adventure packed with wow-factor and woven with local insight, this is the team you want on the ground.
New Zealand
From the majestic fjords of Milford Sound to the thrilling bungy jumps of Queenstown, and from the vineyards of Marlborough to the captivating cultural performances of Rotorua, New Zealand is a country of extraordinary contrasts and unexpected delights.
The team knows every hidden trail, every boutique lodge, and every opportunity for a truly authentic encounter. A recent client remarked that their heli-hiking experience on a glacier, followed by a gourmet picnic overlooking an untouched fiord, was the highlight of their extensive travels.
If ever a country was made for tailor-made luxury travel, it’s New Zealand.
Fiji
While perhaps less explored by mainstream luxury travellers, Fiji and its islands offer unparalleled opportunities for barefoot luxury, cultural immersion, and truly pristine natural beauty. We would argue they are perfect as relaxing extensions to your clients’ Antipodean adventures or, indeed, as destinations in their own right for those seeking authentic island experiences.
The Southern Crossings team specialises in curating bespoke itineraries for the islands of Fiji, ensuring that every moment is infused with tranquility, luxury, and genuine connection to these idyllic islands and their warm, welcoming people.
