Visnja has lived in Croatia (formerly Yugoslavia for first 16 years and then Austria for 1 year, and has subsequently travelled a great deal over the years.  This has resulted in first-hand knowledge of numerous countries and continents, which she willingly shares with her clients.

IAN PEARSON

Ian has been part owner of the agency since its beginning and has also travelled extensively over the years.

ELISE MARRGATT

Elise Marrgatt is our Cruise Guru and has worked in the travel industry for over 20 years, nearly half of those here at Eltham Travel & Cruise.  Early in her time in the travel industry Elise was working on putting together group tours and these often incorporated some form of cruise.  

After initial resistance to the thought of a personal holiday on a cruise, cruising is now a passion.  Having cruised and inspected over 20 different cruise lines, Elise loves to share her knowledge and passion for this rapidly expanding area of the travel industry.  From small ship and expedition cruising to family cruise holidays, Elise is happy to apply her expertise to your travel dreams.

Elise is also very well versed at putting together land based holidays and she certainly applies her varied destination experiences and training to customising the right individual itineraries for our clients.  Elise particularly likes a challenging land based itinerary!
