With an accumulated 30+ years of knowledge, she's committed to creating seamless travel experiences that are personalised towards each traveller.
She works hard to assist her clients with every aspect of their travels. From the first point of contact, during their travels and up until they return home, Marija is always there, looking after them. There is no better comfort than knowing that in an increasingly complicated world a real person at the end of the line is a huge advantage, should unforeseen circumstances arise.
Marija is a dedicated travel advisor and listens carefully to your brief, pays attention to detail, presents choices and offers a professional service. By attending regular local supplier events and undertaking various webinars and educational trips, her knowledge and contact network is continually expanding to benefit each traveller.
Marija is passionate about travel and knows first-hand how it changes a person. Many of her clients, herself included, come back with new lifelong friends, a renewed energy and a different outlook to life. They understand that they deserve the best return on life and investing in themselves through travel is a time-honoured way to accomplish that.
Specialising in Europe and worldwide luxury cruising, Marija is proud to admit she has visited most countries in Europe and can confidently guide you throughout your travels to experience important landmarks and also advise on best places to stay. Furthermore, with infinite options available now in ocean, river, expedition and luxury cruising, let Marija match you to your perfect luxury cruise. Think comfortable suites, spacious public areas, fewer travellers, gourmet dining, all inclusive experiences and private butlers. Luxury cruising is now very personal.
Marija has sailed onboard Royal Caribbean, P&O, Carnival, Holland America, Uniworld, Viking, Aurora Expeditions and Silversea, to name of few, with more coming soon.
She has completed numerous ship inspections with P&O, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Holland America, Scenic, MSC Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Aurora Expeditions, Norwegian Cruise Line, Regent Seven Seas Cruises, National Geographic, Seabourn, Viking River Cruises, Uniworld and Silversea.
She is currently a CLIA Masters, which she successfully completed in July 2021, with a high distinction.
For clients that may only require flights and are happy to book themselves, why not use the MTA Online Booking Engine. If you choose to book through the MTA OBE you have peace of mind knowing that Marija, along with her support team, are always on hand, which is a huge point of difference to other online websites. You'll always be dealing with an Australian owned and operated business.
If you want a dedicated, professional, organised and approachable travel advisor, with a side serving of humour, then look no further. Marija is all this and more.
