The Travel & Cruise Company (formerly Suncity Travel Maroochydore) established some 38 years ago. The present owner, Claudia Pallaspuro, before moving to Australia in 2010, had founded travel companies in both South Africa and Finland. In 2014, the name Suncity Travel was changed to The Travel & Cruise Company to better describe the products the agency was selling.
Whilst we offer all the regular products widely available on the market, we pride ourselves in having the experience to offer wonderful Lapland winter tours and from time to time, small group tours to various interesting destinations.

Four countries at the top of Europe - Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland - make up the region known as Scandinavia with the section stretching across the top of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia being known as Lapland.
This lesser travelled part of Europe is truly a unique place with four very distinct seasons - from a winter landscape blanketed with snow and a night sky filled with the blaze of the Aurora Borealis; to a spring with longer daylight hours and brilliant blue skies whilst hidden from sight, Nature patiently waits to bring forth new growth under a glorious midnight sun.

From time to time we plan and operate our own small group tours. Not only are they fun but we have found long lasting friendships forming and an expectation of 'where next'? And our pre-tours get-togethers are great, adding to the excitement and expectation and you get to know your fellow travellers before you arrive in a new place.

Claudia made the Finnish Lapland trip happen with ease. She also organised a “get together “ weeks prior to departure where we received our travel itineraries and answered questions. In this pack you also got a SIM card for use while in Finland. It is a different experience and very much weather dependent so the daily activities listed may alter some however Claudia makes sure you get to do and see MOST eventually! The Aurora Borealis is elusive, and is one Claudia cannot control! The accommodation was fabulous and very cosy. Transportation while on the tour reliable and....you get taken to

Thank you Claudia for organising our recent trip to Italy (especially wonderful Bellagio, Lake Como), Croatia and our cruise from Split to Dubrovnik also our cruise on the Danube/Rhine from Cologne to Budapest.
We enjoyed flying with Finn Air and upgrading to the Comfort Seats, (premium economy), only $150 extra per section, which gave us more leg room, noise cancelling earphones amoung other goodies. Although we had a couple of technical hickups, our transfers and tours were well organised by Claudia.
