Whether you’re dreaming of an island holiday, a safari adventure or a Mediterranean cruise, your final holiday decisions will inevitably depend on affordability. Flight distance, accommodation, number of travellers, currency and exchange rates – and more – all play a role in determining what your holiday will cost. This is why your Pentravel agent will ask you what your budget is, and provide you with the best options to suit your bottom line.  

Pentravel’s adventurous Product Manager Vicky Steinhardt is what we call ‘a global traveller’. She was born in Australia, and spent part of her life in the USA and in the UK. She then moved to Durban for the sun, sea and surf lifestyle. She now lives in Cape Town working for Pentravel! Her family are from Germany, so this is why she enjoyed many family holidays in Austria – no doubt getting her first taste for skiing!

International travel experts say multigenerational travel, which is more than one generation of the family travelling together, is this years’ top family travel trend.

Mention trips to Ireland and most people conjure up images of shamrocks, Celtic ruins, or fiddle-and-song pubs with free-flowing Guinness and traditional Irish music tempting you in for yet another pint and a jig. They’re not wrong. Especially if you’re travelling with Haggis and Bong on a Hangover Ireland Tour like Pentravel Expert, Cleo Geldenhuys.  

Croatia has been called the best sailing destination in 2019 but we predict it’ll top the list for years to come. A Croatian sailing holiday allows you to experience a Mediterranean paradise of turquoise seas, quiet, colourful islands and picturesque port towns steeped in history, delicious fresh seafood and friendly, welcoming locals – this according to Sun Sail, the world-leader in sailing holidays.
