New Year's Eve in Australia

Dec 27, 2025 to Jan 8, 2026
Sydney & Melbourne
 
Selah Travel is hosting a trip "Down Under" to explore Australia and bring in the New Year 2026! We will travel during the summer season in December 2025, when temperatures are 70-80 degrees. We will visit Sydney and Melbourne, two of the most popular cities. Our journey will include historical sites, wildlife, beaches, urban venues, wineries, and more.
 
Australia is 14 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time so we will lose two days while traveling. The best flight itineraries are from Los Angeles. We will depart from Atlanta or your respective city and fly to LAX. The nonstop flight from LAX to Sydney is approximately 15 hours.

This is a tentative itinerary.

Costs And Payments

The estimated package cost is $9,800/person with double occupancy and $11,600/person with single occupancy. The actual cost will be determined by the rates at the time of booking in February 2025. Airfares, hotel rates and availability can change at any time until a reservation is made and the rates are locked in. You can select Premium/Comfort+ or First Class seating on the Registration Form, as well. Travel insurance quotes also will be provided. The insurance premium is based on the cost of the trip, your age, and state of residence.

Payments will be refundable until you approve your reservation in February 2025. After the reservation is booked all monies will be non-refundable unless you have purchased travel insurance. If you must cancel the trip the travel insurance may reimburse 100% of the payments when cancelling for covered reasons, and 80% for uncovered reasons. The policy also includes pre-existing medical conditions, and provisions for medical expenses and emergencies during your trip.

The tentative payment plan below is available. Payments may be made via a debit or credit card. Selah Travel will provide receipts each time payments are made. At any time you can make payments of a larger amount or pay off the balance; you don't have to wait until the due dates.

 

**Please Note**

By February 7, 2025 at least $5,000/person must be paid to make your reservation and secure your flights. The payments received up to that time will be applied towards the reservation.
