Travel agent New Zealand- Ants WorldwideTravel Service

Planning an overseas holiday should be exciting, but with so many destinations, airlines, accommodation options, cruises and tours available, it can quickly become overwhelming. Comparing hundreds of online options may seem convenient, but it can also make it difficult to know whether you are choosing the right itinerary or receiving genuine value.


That is where an experienced New Zealand travel agent can make a real difference.


At Ants’ Worldwide Travel Service, Antony Myers helps travellers throughout New Zealand plan memorable, carefully coordinated holidays. From flights and accommodation to cruises, tours and tailor-made itineraries, Antony can take care of the details while creating a trip designed around you.


Personalised Travel Planning


Every traveller is different. Some people want to relax at a beachfront resort in Fiji, while others dream of exploring Europe, cruising through the Mediterranean or experiencing the culture and cuisine of Asia.


Instead of providing a one-size-fits-all package, Antony takes the time to understand:


Where you would like to travel

Your preferred travel dates

Your approximate budget

The experiences that interest you

Your preferred accommodation style

How quickly or slowly you like to travel

Whether you are travelling alone, as a couple, with family or as part of a group


These details help Antony create a personalised travel itinerary that reflects your priorities and makes the best use of your time away.


More Than Flights and Accommodation


Planning an international holiday often involves much more than booking a flight and choosing a hotel.


Your journey may include connecting flights, airport transfers, rail travel, cruises, guided tours, activities and accommodation in several destinations. Each component needs to fit together, with enough time allowed for connections, check-ins and unexpected delays.


Ants’ Worldwide Travel Service can help coordinate:


Domestic and international flights

Hotels and resorts

Ocean and river cruises

Coach and guided tours

Airport and hotel transfers

Family holidays

Group and school travel

Corporate and business travel

Ski holidays

Multi-country itineraries

Tailor-made holiday packages


Having these arrangements coordinated by one experienced travel professional can make the entire planning process easier and more enjoyable.


Worldwide Holidays from New Zealand


Ants’ Worldwide Travel Service arranges holidays from Auckland and throughout New Zealand to destinations around the world.


Mediterranean Holidays


The Mediterranean offers an unforgettable combination of beautiful coastlines, historic cities, charming villages and exceptional food. Antony can help plan holidays to destinations such as Italy, Greece, Croatia, Spain and France.


Your Mediterranean holiday could include a cruise between several coastal destinations, an escorted tour or a personalised itinerary combining cities, islands and countryside.


Pacific Island Holidays


For New Zealand travellers looking for a relaxing tropical getaway, the Pacific Islands are an excellent choice. Fiji, Rarotonga, Samoa, Vanuatu and Tahiti offer beautiful beaches, welcoming resorts and experiences for couples, families and groups.


Antony can help compare Pacific Island flights, resorts and holiday packages to find an option suited to your travel dates, budget and preferred style of holiday.


Holidays to Asia


Asia offers something for almost every traveller, from the exciting cities of Japan and Singapore to the beaches of Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.


A tailor-made Asian holiday can combine cultural experiences, local cuisine, shopping, sightseeing and relaxation. Antony can also help arrange stopovers or an itinerary that includes more than one destination.


UK and European Holidays


Travelling to the UK or Europe from New Zealand is a significant journey, so thoughtful planning is especially important. Antony can arrange flights, accommodation, rail travel, cruises, coach tours and guided experiences across the UK and Europe.


Whether you want to explore London and Paris, travel through Italy, visit family in the United Kingdom or experience several European countries, Antony can bring the different elements together into one coordinated itinerary.


Expert Cruise Planning


Choosing a cruise involves more than selecting a destination. Travellers also need to consider the cruise line, ship, itinerary, sailing dates, cabin category, onboard experience and what is included in the fare.


As a CLIA Accredited Cruise Master, Antony has specialist knowledge of ocean and river cruising. He can help you compare cruise options and identify an itinerary that suits your interests, travel style and budget.


Cruise holidays can include:


Mediterranean cruises

Pacific cruises

European river cruises

Luxury cruises

Expedition and adventure cruises

Family-friendly cruises

Extended and world cruises


Antony can also coordinate your flights, transfers and accommodation before or after the cruise, creating a complete cruise holiday from New Zealand.


Support When Travel Plans Change


Even the most carefully planned journey can be affected by airline schedule changes, cancellations, weather events or other unexpected disruptions.


When you book independently across several different websites, it may not always be clear who to contact or what your available options are. Booking through Ants’ Worldwide Travel Service means you have a New Zealand-based travel professional who understands your itinerary and can help you communicate with the relevant travel providers.


Any changes, refunds or alternative arrangements remain subject to the provider’s conditions and availability, but having experienced assistance can make a stressful situation much easier to navigate.


A New Zealand Travel Agent You Can Talk To


Although Ants’ Worldwide Travel Service is based in Auckland, Antony assists clients throughout New Zealand. Travel planning can be completed by phone or email, so you can benefit from personalised service whether you live in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch or elsewhere in New Zealand.


Antony brings more than 20 years of travel industry experience to every booking. His focus is on understanding what each traveller needs, researching suitable options and making the planning process as straightforward as possible.


Start Planning Your Next Holiday


Whether you are dreaming of a Pacific Island escape, a Mediterranean cruise, an adventure through Asia or an extended UK and European holiday, Ants’ Worldwide Travel Service can help turn your ideas into a carefully planned journey.


Contact Antony with your preferred destination, approximate dates, number of travellers and budget. From there, he can recommend suitable options and create a travel itinerary designed around you.


Your next adventure may be closer than you think.
