Travel Centre

It is often said that travel agencies sell dreams, not holidays. These days, with such a bewildering array of holidays and flights on offer, it is essential to ensure that when booking a holiday you get the best advice available from a reputable company with proven experience.

Travel Centre (Norwich) Limited was set up in 1961 at a time when the package holiday industry as we know it was in its infancy. We have grown into a multi-faceted operation and are still fiercely independent. We operate a number of specific divisions, but these cover virtually every aspect of travel. So whether you are a business traveller looking for a rail ticket or a client booking a round-the-world trip of a lifetime, we can do it for you.

Yes, we aim to book you a package, flight, hotel, whatever, wherever in the world you choose to go. Some bookings may take some time, but generally speaking if it is available, we can arrange it for you.

Package holidays
Whether you are travelling to your favourite resort in Majorca or looking for a multi-centre tour of the Far East, a safari in the remote corners of Africa or a high altitude winter sports holiday, we can arrange this for you. As an independent travel agent we are not tied to promoting any specific operator (unlike many other high street agencies) and are able to search for the most appropriate package at a value-for-money price.

Tailor-made travel
If you prefer to travel more independently or don't see what you are looking for in a brochure, we can tailor-make a holiday for you to fit with your exact requirements. Putting together this kind of trip can take a little longer, but you will find yourself with a unique personalised trip - and it doesn't have to cost any more than a package, in fact sometimes these tailor-made itineraries cost less.

Trade Price Flights
Travel Centre is a consolidator of discounted air fares with a wide range of airlines, many of whom operate departures from your local airport. What many people don't know is that we sell airline tickets to other travel agents across the country so this gives us tremendous buying power which all our customers benefit from. The booking facility on this site will give you prices for both full fare and discounted fares, so you can choose which suits you best, depending on whether you have to travel on certain dates or if you can be more flexible.   

Travel Australia
This dedicated branch within the Travel Centre group specialises in travel to Australia and New Zealand, and all points in-between. If you are visiting family and friends, we can book a simple return flight. Alternatively if you want to book a trip to Australia, but include stopovers in the Far East, USA, Canada, South Pacific, South Africa or wherever, with all accommodation, tours, insurance included, we are experts at this. We can even arrange a ticket to the Sydney Opera House. Ask us to quote for your specific trip.

If you are taking a few months - or longer - out to travel the world, many of the staff at Travel Australia have done exactly this themselves and are full of tips and advice on how to enjoy this most marvellous life experience.

Travel Asia
The Far East is one of the most diverse and fascinating regions in the world, from the frantic buzz of Bangkok to the fabulous scenery of newly-emerging Vietnam and so much more. This region is also exceptionally good value-for-money at the moment. Again, many of our staff have travelled throughout Asia, so they will be more than happy to answer your questions and book your trip.

Travel America
America remains as popular as ever as a holiday destination, with visitors now exploring "new" destinations within the country. We have some excellent flight price deals to the States which, combined with accommodation, car hire, tours, etc, give you great choices to enjoy what this amazing country has to offer.

Travel Canada
Fast catching up with the USA as a popular holiday choice, Canada really does offer something for everyone. The scenery is spectacular, the people are incredibly friendly, cities are sophisticated and clean, driving is easy and there are activities and culture to suit every taste. It is also good value as well. Incidentally our Travel Canada division has been a finalist in the Canada Travel Awards Top UK Agent category every year since the awards were launched and has won it twice.

Rest of the world
What can we say? Our staff have travelled extensively across the globe and can advise on virtually anywhere, whether you are looking for the best deal on your annual package holiday to Majorca or a trip up the Orinoco.

Business Travel
We are one of the leading business travel agencies in East Anglia, although many of our clients are based across the UK. In addition to offering a full range of services for corporate clients, we take pride in trying to save our customers' money. Whether your business only makes a few trips a year or has people constantly globetrotting, we can handle your account. We also offer a 24-hour emergency call-our facility, which is manned by our own staff (not an anonymous third party), for that extra peace of mind. 

Cruises
Cruising is one of the fastest growing holiday choices, with many people becoming hooked on the concept after their first experience afloat. Cruising offers the great advantage of seeing many different places but only having to unpack once. Plus, the facilities onboard most cruise ships rival those of many top hotels, so luxury and comfort are never sacrificed. There is also a huge range of itineraries and types of ship available.  

Weddings and Honeymoons Abroad
Organising a wedding or honeymoon can be a nerve-wracking process at the best of times. If you are planning to hold your wedding on a sun-soaked Caribbean beach, at the top of a snow-covered mountain or at your favourite overseas hotel, give us a call.

We can help with the travel arrangements as well as advise on many of the formalities. If you're looking for the perfect honeymoon destination, our staff have some excellent suggestions based on their own travel experiences.
