Adventure World has announced a partnership that will see it represent Brendan Vacations in the Australia and New Zealand markets.
With more than 50 years of expertise crafting bespoke journeys across Ireland and Scotland, Brendan Vacations are leaders in Celtic travel.
Adventure World managing director Neil Rodgers said he was thrilled to launch the brand with Adventure World as GSA and will be offering advisors a chance to win a trip Ireland and a stay in a castle.
“I’ve long admired Brendan Vacations for its ability to showcase the very best of Ireland and Scotland. The itineraries offer that deeper dive into the heart and soul of the destination, providing unique opportunities to meet locals, understand the culture, and experience something truly unique,” he said.
“We’re also thrilled to announce an amazing incentive for our advisor partners: a chance to win a trip to Ireland, including a stay at a magnificent 5-Star Castle.”
Absolute honour
Brendan Vacations is rolling out the green carpet for Australian and New Zealand travellers leading with its intimate Small Group Tours (max 18–24 guests), alongside fully independent private driver, self-drive, luxury self-drive, and rail programs.
“It’s an absolute honour to introduce Brendan Vacations to Australia and New Zealand,” Brendan Vacations managing director Catherine Reilly said.
“Our ethos is simple: Taking You Personally. We specialise in crafting trips filled with authentic local encounters, rich storytelling, and personal touches – like arranging stays in historic castles, connecting clients with local artisans, or ensuring they find the best pint in a hidden pub.”
Special significance
Following the official announcement, Rodgers took to LinkedIn to add that the deal had “special significance” for him.
“As a native Belfast man, today’s announcement holds a special significance for me,” he said. “I am incredibly proud and excited to share that Adventure World has been appointed the General Sales Agent (GSA) for our TTC sister company, Brendan Vacations, marking its much-anticipated launch into the Australian and New Zealand markets.
“My sincere appreciation to TTC Specialist & Adventure CEO, Alastair Campbell for spearheading this initiative, and to the always incredible Catherine Reilly, Brendan Vacations MD, for championing the cause.
“I’ve long admired Brendan Vacations for its incredible ability to showcase the true heart of Ireland and Scotland. Their product offering is truly unique, from the personal service of a Private Chauffeur vacation to the flexibility of a Self-Drive journey or a Locally Hosted trip.
“With a legacy spanning over 50 years, their focus is always on genuine, immersive experiences, all guided by a simple ethos: ‘Taking You Personally’. This means crafting trips filled with authentic local encounters, rich storytelling, and personal touches—like arranging stays in historic castles, connecting clients with local artisans, or finding the best pint in a hidden pub. These are the moments that create lasting memories.
The launch is supported by a +130-page brochure.
