About Bicton Travel

Bicton Travel is Perth’s leading travel agency, specialising in luxury travel and cruise holidays. Putting their clients at the centre of every journey, the Bicton Travel team ensure each client receives a quality, tailored service and an exceptional booking experience for their next dream holiday.

Managing Director Carole Smethurst founded Bicton Travel in 1998, and what started as a mother and son team quickly grew to become one of Australia’s most successful travel agencies. We are a nine-time CLIA Cruise Agency of the Year, and three-time AFTA Travel Agency of the Year.

Today, we remain a local Perth-based company operating from our offices in East Fremantle, Western Australia. With a recent addition of a second location, Bicton Travel is the parent company of Claremont Cruise and Travel Centre. We are proud members of Independent Travel Group, Virtuoso, Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and are committed to ongoing Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA) ATAS accreditation. Booking with an ATAS accredited travel agent means you can travel in confidence, knowing your travel arrangements are in safe hands.

In 2016 Carole Smethurst was inducted into the CLIA Cruise Hall of Fame for her service to the cruise industry. The CLIA Hall of Fame Award is a formal recognition to honour an individual whose efforts and accomplishments represent a significant contribution to the development of the cruise industry.
