Meeting the Needs of Older Travellers

We understand that every traveller has unique needs, and we recognise that some older travellers may require additional planning, support or assistance. That's why we take the time to understand your individual circumstances and ensure your travel arrangements are tailored to suit your requirements.

Our team can assist with arranging airline mobility services, wheelchair assistance, special seating requests and other accessibility requirements to help make your journey as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We also provide expert advice on cruises, tours and holiday options, helping you select travel experiences that best match your interests, comfort level and mobility needs.

We understand that travel insurance can sometimes be complex, particularly when pre-existing medical conditions or claims are involved. One of our directors has extensive experience in the insurance industry and is available to provide guidance and support throughout the travel insurance process.

Should you need to make a travel insurance claim, we can assist by helping you understand the requirements, communicate with insurers and, where appropriate, act as your authorised representative to support the claims process. Our goal is to provide reassurance and practical assistance so you can focus on enjoying your travels with confidence and peace of mind.

We also are fortunate that we have one of our directors who spent 16 years in the Insurance Industry and assists our clients with Travel insurance, especially on difficult claims where advocacy is needed with Insurance companies. We can be appointed as an authorised agents for you to enable us to assist in the handling of the claim.

Meet Your Local Travel Experts

Thinking About Your Next Adventure? Meet the People Who Can Help You Get There!

Whether it's a relaxing cruise, a scenic escape, a long-awaited trip to Europe or an adventure somewhere a little further afield, travel is about so much more than simply getting from A to B. It's about the experiences, the people you meet and the memories you bring home.

At World Travellers, we believe planning a holiday should be just as enjoyable as the journey itself. And behind every great holiday is a team of people who genuinely love what they do.

Meet Your Local Travel Experts

Our travel consultants bring together a wonderful mix of personal travel experiences, destination knowledge and industry expertise. Having explored destinations across the globe themselves, they understand the excitement of discovering somewhere new and the little details that can make a holiday truly special.

From Caitlyn and Tayla in Rolleston, who love sharing their enthusiasm for discovering new places, to Hannah in Blenheim, and Rosemary and Leanne in Merivale, our consultants each bring their own experiences, interests and travel stories to the table.

Some have explored more than 50 countries, experienced everything from African safaris to European river journeys, or discovered the magic of travelling through Asia and the Pacific. Others love helping people revisit favourite destinations or turn a long-held travel dream into reality.

And that's what makes our team special. There's a wealth of experience to draw on, but just as importantly, there's someone ready to listen to what you'd like from your next holiday.

Where Will Your Next Journey Take You?

Perhaps you've always dreamed of exploring Europe, cruising through the Pacific, experiencing the sights of Japan or simply enjoying a well-deserved break closer to home.

Whatever you're imagining, our team can help with the planning, from flights and accommodation to cruises, escorted tours and those important details that make travelling easier.

You don't need to have everything figured out before you come and see us. Sometimes all it takes is a conversation to get the ideas flowing.

Come and meet the team at your local World Travellers store. We'd love to hear where you've been, where you'd like to go and help you start planning your next adventure.

Want to get to know us a little better first? Visit our Meet Our Consultants page to discover our team's favourite destinations and travel stories.
