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
Receive discounts on experiences like a Vivid Sydney cruise. (Image: Destination NSW)
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
Splurging on travel will cost you less.
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.

From thundering waterfalls to ancient Indigenous art, Kimberley’s raw beauty will take your breath away.
Wild, pristine, and shaped by nature, the Kimberley Coast is one of Australia’s most spectacular landscapes. A remote and rugged frontier that remains a bucket list destination for many travellers. Its most breathtaking attractions – including Montgomery Reef, King George Falls and Horizontal Falls – are accessible only by sea or air, making a guided expedition cruise aboard Silversea’s luxury expedition ship, Silver Cloud, the ideal way to explore it.
From its intricate intertidal zones to ancient rock art, extreme tides and rare wildlife found nowhere else in Australia – or the world – this journey offers an unparalleled exploration of one of Earth’s last true wildernesses.
Why Silversea?
Silversea offers a 10-day expedition departing Broome, or an extended 16-day expedition voyage from Indonesia, including landings on the hidden gems of Palopo Sulawesi and Komodo. Accompanied by expert guides and specialists in marine biology, history and geology, guests gain a deeper understanding of the Kimberley’s dramatic landscapes, rich cultural heritage and extraordinary biodiversity.
Silversea offers one of the experiential travel industry’s leading crew-to-guest ratios. Along with all-suite accommodation (80 per cent with private verandah), 24-hour butler service, a swimming pool and four dining options. Silver Cloud also has an experienced crew of multilingual expedition guides and specialists in marine biology, history and geology to enhance your Kimberley Experience.

1. Koolama Bay
Before visitors see King George Falls, they hear them – a growing rumble in the distance, steady and foreboding as the Zodiac glides through the gorge, the sound echoing off sheer rock formations. At 80 meters tall, the twin cascades carve through the red cliffs, churning the waters below in a spectacular finale – but Koolama Bay holds secrets beyond its striking scenery.
Named after a ship that beached here following an aerial attack by Japanese bombers in World War II, the bay may seem desolate, yet it teems with life. With Silversea’s expert guides on their 10-day Kimberley itinerary, guests gain a sharper eye for its hidden wonders – rock wallabies darting across the cliffs, crocodiles lurking among dense green mangroves, and high above, the silhouette of a bird of prey circling the sky.

2. Freshwater Cove / Wijingarra Butt Butt
Connect with Country on a wet landing at Freshwater Cove, also known as Wijingarra Butt Butt. Considered one of the most special experiences on both the 16-day and 10-day Kimberley cruises, Silversea guests are welcomed by the traditional Indigenous custodians of the land, painted with traditional ochre, and invited to take part in a smoking ceremony.
Located on the mainland near Montgomery Reef, Wijingarra Butt Butt holds deep cultural significance to the local Indigenous community. Here, rock formations along the shore represent spiritual ancestors, and guests are guided to a nearby rock overhang filled with ancient art, where traditional owners share the stories and meaning behind these sacred paintings.

3. Vansittart Bay (Jar Island)
Modern history, ancient culture and mystery converge in Vansittart Bay, which is also known as Jar Island. Here, the first thing to catch the eye is the dented, silver fuselage of a World War II-era C-53 plane – a striking relic of the past. Yet, the true cultural treasures lie just a short hike away where two distinct styles of Indigenous rock art – Gwion Gwion and Wandjina – can be found.
The Wandjina figures, deeply connected to Indigenous traditions, stand in stark contrast to the enigmatic Gwion Gwion (Bradshaw) paintings, which date back more than 12,000 years. Significantly different in form and style, the two different styles create a striking juxtaposition, offering a rare glimpse into the region’s rich and complex past.

4. Horizontal Falls
Part illusion, part natural phenomenon, the Kimberley’s much-lauded Horizontal Falls aren’t a waterfall, but a tidal and geographic spectacle that visitors have to see to comprehend. Known as Garaanngaddim, the phenomenon occurs when seawater rushes through two narrow gaps- one just twenty metres wide, and the other seven metres in width, between the escarpments of Talbot Bay.
With each tidal shift,the force of the water creates whirlpools, furious currents and the illusion of a horizontal cascade as thousands of gallons of water are pushed and pulled in through the gap every six hours with relentless movement, making this one of the Kimberley ’s most mesmerising natural wonders.

5. Montgomery Reef
As the tide turns in Montgomery Reef, magic happens. With the Kimberley’s legendary tides varying up to ten metres, at low tide the submerged reef almost appears to rise from the depths: exposing up to four metres of the sandstone reef.
The impact is otherworldly: as the water drains, waterfalls cascade on either side of the channel,turtles left exposed scramble and dive, and fish leap in search of sanctuary in shallow pools. Meanwhile, the dinner bell rings for the migratory seabirds dugongs, reef sharks and dolphins that scavenge and feast in the area.
Using zodiacs, guests cruise through one of the world’s most significant inshore reef systems navigated by experienced guides, exploring the most intricate and fascinating parts of a 300-square-kilometre-wide biodiversity hotspot.
Witness seabirds, dolphins and reef sharks on the hunt.
6. Mitchell Falls by Helicopter
Experiencing the Kimberley by sea allows you to feel the power of the tides, but travelling by helicopter reveals the sandstone tapestry of the Kimberley, a landscape geologists believe is over 1.8 billion years old.
One of Silversea’s most popular optional excursions, guests who opt to fly into the interior from the onboard helipad soar up above the rust-coloured landscape of the Mitchell plateau, taking in one of Australia’s most scenic waterfalls: Mitchell Falls, a series of four emerald-coloured pools gently cascades into each other, before plunging down to the river below.
Seeing the landscape from above reveals a landscape weaved and shaped by the power of the freshwater wet season, juxtaposed to the constant lapping of the relentless and powerful tide on the coast.

7. Indigenous Art Caves, Wandjina Art
The Kimberley Region of Western Australia is home to some of the most striking and significant
Indigenous rock art in Australia. Dotted throughout the landscape are caves, cliffs and rock overhangs depicting the striking, ethereal image of Wandjina, the rainmaker spirit and creation being central to many of the Dreamtime stories in this region.
Some of the paintings are regularly repainted by traditional custodians, while others are believed to be over 4,000 years old. Each artwork serves as both a cultural record and a living connection to the past, offering a rare opportunity to engage with the enduring traditions of the Kimberley’s Indigenous communities.
