Shoretours.com.au is the concept of myself, Director, Hope Kramer. 

After working for three years for Carnival Cruise Lines throughout the Carribean as a Purser, Purser Trainer and Second Purser I returned to Australia with a great appreciation of what a cruising holiday is all about.  However, with cruising being relatively new to the Australian market I quickly saw that cruise ship passengers needs weren't being met and that very few companies understand what cruise ship passengers need!

Consequently, the Shoretours.com.au concept was born.  One website that can provide people cruising Australia with easy access to indpendent shore tour providers, accommodation and services that give them exactly what they need on their cruising holiday. 

Shoretours.com.au went live on March 11th 2010 and although only working our of the ports of Hobart, Burnie, Port Arthur and Sydney, is rapidly expanding throughout Australia with the goal to become the premier service provider for cruise ship passengers within Australia.  I hope that you enjoy and get great value from the website and truly experience a local and personalised port experience whilst in Australia. 

Best Regards,

Hope Kramer
