Welcome.
I’m Alyssa Pretorius, a Personal Travel Manager based in Melbourne with more than 27 years of experience helping clients explore the world with confidence.
I believe travel should be thoughtfully planned, professionally managed, and tailored to your individual needs. Whether you’re travelling for business, planning a family holiday, embarking on a cruise, organising a group journey, or travelling solo, I provide personalised advice, expert recommendations, and ongoing support every step of the way.
As a CLIA Cruise Master, I offer specialist expertise across ocean, river, luxury and expedition cruising, helping clients navigate the many options available and choose the right experience for their travel style.
Having travelled extensively throughout Australia, Europe, Asia, New Zealand, Africa, North America and beyond, I combine industry expertise with first-hand travel experience to help clients make informed decisions and create memorable journeys.
I’m also the founder of SoloMade, a hosted small-group travel community designed exclusively for solo travellers. These carefully curated journeys provide the opportunity to explore the world alongside like-minded travellers while enjoying the comfort of your own room in a welcoming, couple-free environment.
Whether you’re planning a weekend escape, a business trip, a cruise, or the journey of a lifetime, my goal is simple: to make travel easier, more enjoyable, and completely tailored to you.
I specialise in…
• CLIA Cruise Master & Cruise Holidays
• Corporate Travel Management
• Leisure & Luxury Travel
• SoloMade Hosted Journeys
• Solo Travel Planning
• Small Group Travel
• Family & Multi-Generational Travel
• Walking, Hiking & Adventure Travel
SoloMade was created for travellers who love the idea of exploring the world but don’t necessarily want to travel completely alone.
These hosted small-group journeys are designed exclusively for solo travellers, combining independence, connection and peace of mind. Travel alongside like-minded people, enjoy carefully curated experiences, and always have the comfort of your own room.
With SoloMade, you’ll enjoy:
• Small groups (typically 6–12 guests)
• Your own room – always
• A strictly couple-free environment
• Personally hosted departures
• Meaningful connections and memorable experiences
