From luxury cruises to five-star stays, this Aussie app could be your ultimate travel hack.

I’ll be honest: I always thought the Entertainment Book was something your mum’s friend gave you because they couldn’t get through all the coupons. But after using the Entertainment App this weekend – and already saving $35 on a two-for-one dinner in my local area – I’m officially intrigued.

I was recently given free access to the Entertainment Travel app to see if it still delivers real value in 2025. So far? I would’ve already saved half the cost of membership in one use.

And it’s not just about dining deals anymore. From $70 a year, you now get access to thousands of travel discounts too – and I’m not talking budget hostels and red-eye flights. I’m talking serious holidays: luxury cruises, European tours, five-star hotels and once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences.

The luxury travel perks

The newly launched Entertainment Travel platform is kind of a game-changer as it gives members exclusive access to thousands of travel deals, including:

• Over 36,000 cruises with brands like Norwegian Cruise Line, Silversea, Uniworld and Ponant.
• More than 20,000 guided tours with names like Wendy Wu Travel, AAT Kings and Collette.
• Hotel discounts across 750,000+ properties worldwide – from Club Med to Hyatt and Hilton.
• Savings on flights with Emirates, Virgin Australia, Qatar Airlines and more.
• Deals on car hire, travel insurance and tailor-made holiday packages.

To put it into perspective: a 13-night luxury Antarctica cruise with Seabourn is currently $21,499 per person, a discount of more than $6000. While providers like Sealink offer between 15 and 50 per cent off certain ferries, tours and cruises across Australia, like a Vivid Sydney Lights Cruise or K’gari experience tours.

That’s a lot of money back in your pocket in just one booking.

Travel smarter – and support your community while you’re at it

Memberships start at just $70 per year (for a single city) or $120 for multi-city access. And while the travel deals are new, the Entertainment Group’s mission remains the same: giving back.

Every membership sold directs 20 per cent to one of Entertainment’s fundraiser partners (of your choice). So, while you’re off ticking off your bucket-list adventures, you’re also supporting your community.

It’s not just travel either

While travel is the headline act right now, the app still offers all the local perks it’s famous for – like the two-for-one dinner I used on the weekend – as well as discounts at restaurants like Catalina and OTTO Ristorante, and experiences including SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium, HOYTS, museums, bathhouses and more.

Verdict? So far, so good

I’ve only just started exploring what this app can do, but after saving $35 on my first use, the rest of the year is already a bonus. And the travel perks? If I book even one trip using the deals, the value could be in the thousands.

If you’re planning a holiday – or just want to eat out more without the bill shock – this unassuming little app might be the smartest $70 (or $120) you spend all year.
