Michelle Kean

Hi, I’m Michelle Kean, a TAANZ-accredited Travel Advisor, CLIA Masters Cruise Consultant and Virtuoso-affiliated advisor based in Auckland, New Zealand.

With 28+ years in the travel industry and first-hand experience across 65+ countries, I specialise in luxury and premium cruising, European river cruises and European travel, while also creating tailor-made holidays, family trips, touring and multi-destination itineraries.

I believe great travel advice comes from experience, not brochures. I regularly travel, experience ships and cabins and explore destinations firsthand, so my recommendations are based on what I’ve personally experienced.

My cruise expertise has been recognised through awards including Viking Cruises NZ Travel Brokers Top Seller, Oceania O Club at Home Top Seller and NZ Travel Brokers High Achievers Club recognition.

Through Virtuoso and my preferred travel partners, I can provide access to added-value benefits on selected luxury travel experiences.

Most importantly, I provide personal service from the first conversation through to your return home — researching, coordinating and managing the details so you can simply enjoy the journey.

Luxury cruising, river cruises, Europe or a holiday that needs a little more planning — I’m here to make it easier.

1. I have access to a huge range of travel specials and deals.
2. I’m a one stop shop for all travel. Flights, cruises, tours, rental cars – I can book it all.
3. I’m your travel troubleshooter. If you run into the unexpected, call me. I’ll get it sorted.
4. I’ll come to you – I’m happy to meet you at a cafe or after hours to chat about your plans.
5. I’m a local business, not an anonymous website or company based halfway around the world.

If you have any travel plans, or if you’d like a quote, please get in touch – I’m happy to help!
