Experience a different level of travel

Welcome to our experiential luxury tour company, Latitude 33.

Latitude 33 is the vision of Brett Dudley, founder and managing director of the Ecruising group of companies – Australia’s leading online cruise travel agency founded in 2000.

By 2005, Ecruising had a portfolio of luxury cruise and land tours to some of the most remote destinations and major sporting events around the world. These exclusive itineraries outgrew the ecruising.travel brand, and a new luxury brand Latitude 33 was born, dedicated to providing immersive experiences and effortless travel.

The name Latitude 33 is inspired by Brett’s three favourite cities; Sydney, Cape Town and Santiago, all of which share the latitude 33 degrees south.

Latitude 33 is dedicated to providing travel experiences reminiscent of a time when all holiday travel was a luxury – an era when speed and price weren’t the key features, but rather time and elegance. Today, travel and holidays are part of the contemporary lifestyle. Latitude 33 aims to re-create the golden era of travel, with all the modern comforts for the discerning traveller.

“Once you have travelled, the voyage never ends”. My voyage began when I arrived in Japan for an exchange year, many years ago. The year was full of surprises and every experience no matter how big or small was fascinating to me. I knew then that my career would be in the travel industry. With a background in marketing as well as leisure and corporate travel, my work ranged from airline ticketing to product marketing and group travel management. I look forward to making your dream experiential luxury tour a reality.

Senior Cruise Consultant

I read somewhere that travel is the only thing you buy that you get richer – and I couldn’t agree more! I have been very fortunate to have spent my working life in an industry I love. I have worked in many areas of travel, including airlines, tour companies, wholesale and corporate travel and owning my own retail travel business. Cruising has always been at the top of the list – my favourite way to travel. I have seen incredible growth in cruising – from the days of the first Oriana sailing the South Pacific and Asia out of Sydney in the 1970’s and 80’s and the “Fairstar” the first real “fun ship” down under. Today we are so spoilt for choice, from mega-liners soon to sail our shores to intimate small ships – there is a ship for everyone – and I have the privilege every day, researching and recommending cruise solutions to our customers. At eCrusing I am excited to be working with a wonderful team of like-minded people – passionate about what they do, offering unique cruise holiday itineraries and planning unforgettable holiday experiences.

I have travelled extensively, and as Susan Sontag once said: “I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list”. A personal highlight for me recently was spending a week on the Canal Midi in France with my sons, partners and grand-daughter.We chartered a hotel barge – what a wonderful way to enjoy the delights of Southern France while sharing a very special time with my family – definitely a different style of cruising, and one I would absolutely recommend.
