Your Cruise & Travel Experts
New Zealand Travel Specialists
At Bradford Travel we are well known for being prompt, honest, reliable and available anytime to discuss your travel plans! We have a combined 36 years in the travel industry, so we know what it takes to have a well planned trip or holiday.
We are located in Cromwell and considered by many to be the best travel planners in Cromwell, a fact backed up by the many travel awards and acolades we are thrilled to have received and by the growing number of clients we have not only throughout New Zealand but in many parts of the world.
The change in the travel operating environment has seen the number of travel brokers in New Zealand steadily increase during the past few years. Travel Brokers have essentially forsaken the security of a regular salary for the freedom of self employment. We maintain our integrity through The Private Travel Company Ltd commitment to the TAANZ bond to protect you and your travel investment.
International Travel Experts
We are cruise specalists and are members of CLIA - the Cruise Lines International Association which enables us to offer our clients a premium cruise advisory and booking service.
We were privileged to be invited to join Virtuoso as a member agency. This allows us to provide our clients with accommodation, amenities and travel perks that are not available from other travel agencies.
We count ourselves amongst the pioneers of travel brokering, having first been travel brokers some 20 years ago. Then Richard and I worked for the very first travel brokering company simply called Travel Brokers which was owned by Richards father - Bert Bradford, a well respected travel industry icon and clearly a visionary within the industry.
We have built up a loyal and enduring client base during our years in the travel industry. So if you want a travel agent who works harder and goes further to help plan your travel requirements - call us here at Bradford Travel. We look forward to planning your next holiday or business trip.
