First Time Cruising?
Common Questions Answered
Everything you need to know before you set sail for the first time.
What's included in the cruise fare?
Your cabin accommodation, all main dining meals, onboard entertainment, and port taxes are always included. Drinks packages, shore excursions and specialty restaurants are optional extras that vary by cruise line.
Do I need travel insurance for a cruise?
Absolutely yes. Comprehensive travel insurance including medical evacuation cover is strongly recommended for all cruise passengers. We can arrange suitable policies as part of your booking.
What cabin type should I choose?
Interior cabins are the best value and ideal if you plan to spend most time exploring ports and public spaces. Ocean view and balcony cabins add natural light and outdoor space. Suites include premium amenities and concierge service.
Will I get seasick?
Modern cruise ships are fitted with stabilisers that minimise motion significantly. Itineraries in calm seas such as the Mediterranean or Caribbean are ideal for first-timers. Seasickness patches and remedies are available onboard.
How much spending money do I need?
Budget roughly $80–$150 per person per day for optional extras such as drinks, shore excursions, spa treatments, and specialty dining. All major credit cards are accepted onboard, and a cashless account is set up at embarkation.

Our Story
Born from a Passion for Meaningful Travel
In 2008, Sarah and Michael Chen returned from a frustrating, cookie-cutter holiday and decided there had to be a better way. Armed with a shared love of travel and years of industry know-how, they founded Wanderlust Co. from their apartment in New York.
What started as a two-person consultancy has grown into a team of 40+ specialists helping thousands of Australians experience the world each year — with every trip as unique as the person taking it.

🌱
Responsible Travel
We partner with eco-certified operators, support local communities and offset the carbon footprint of every itinerary we create — because the world is worth protecting.
