How this $70 membership could save you thousands on travel

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

Entertainment Travel App
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.

Luxury escapes to Sydney and Melbourne that money can’t buy

    Kate Bettes Kate Bettes
    Continue
    From VIP stadium suites to harbour view upgrades, these are the experiences your travel points were made for.

    They say the best things in life are free. We say experiences earned with travel points are a pretty strong contender. But judging by exclusive money-can’t-buy experiences available through ALL Accor, we’re not even sure that’s true.

    Designed for travellers who know how to make every journey count, ALL Accor members receive up to 10 per cent off at more than 4500 hotels worldwide. You’ll also earn points on hotel stays, dining, partner airlines, car rentals, online shopping and more – and then turn those points into experiences that go far beyond a free night’s stay.

    Here’s how to turn your points into the ultimate weekend.

    Sydney

    Day one

    The view from Acapulco El Vista overlooking Sydney Harbour, one of the many experiences you can enjoy on ALL accor luxury city escapes.
    Unlock exclusive experiences with ALL Accor.

    Check into Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour and one of the world’s great harbour views. Framed by the Royal Botanic Garden, Harbour Bridge and the Opera House, the hotel’s 216 apartment-style suites place you squarely in Sydney’s spiritual heart.

    As the setting sun turns the Opera House sails soft shades of orange and pink, settle in at onsite restaurant Acapulco El Vista for a sundowner. Inspired by the golden age of 1950s Acapulco, the rooftop bar channels old Hollywood glamour, while the Mexican spirit runs through the drinks list like a strong shot of tequila. Fortify yourself for the night with Acapulco’s porchetta Cubano sandwich.

    Next up, head to the Eastern Pontoon and skip the ordinary by boarding a water taxi. Cruise across Sydney Harbour and up the Parramatta River to Sydney Olympic Park.

    Accor Stadium
    Enjoy a VIP experience at Accor Stadium.

    The VIP experience continues in Accor Stadium, with suites reserved exclusively for ALL Accor members. Whether you’re there to see your favourite pop star –like Robbie Williams, BTS or Harry Styles – or you’ve snagged tickets to the NRL Grand Final, you’ll enjoy a fully catered experience from one of the best seats in the house.

    Day two

    Do as Sydneysiders do and start the day with a swim: this one just happens to overlook Circular Quay from the hotel’s Recreation Deck. Or save your energy for exploring the Royal Botanic Garden and the Art Gallery of New South Wales next door. Later, wander the cobbled laneways of The Rocks, stopping in heritage pubs and sandstone shops.

    Be back in time for a late lunch at Flaminia, located within Pullman Quay Grand. Inspired by the great port cities of Italy, the restaurant celebrates the country’s coastal cuisines, from Cagliari’s spaghetti alla bottarga with spanner crab and lemon myrtle to warm Venetian ricotta fritters with orange mascarpone. All served with a side of Sydney Harbour views. Accor Plus Explorer members receive 15 per cent off the à la carte menu. Molto bene, indeed.

    Melbourne

    Day one

    Start your weekend the same way you’ll finish it: enjoying your exclusive ALL Accor benefits. This time, it might begin with a complimentary welcome drink when you check in at the five-star Pullman East Melbourne. Perfectly positioned in East Melbourne, the hotel sits directly opposite the elms and red gums of Fitzroy Gardens and is a mere 10-minute stroll from the legendary Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Rod Laver Arena and Melbourne Olympic Park.

    After dropping your bags in one of the 419 stylish rooms, head down to The Cliveden Bar & Dining for an early dinner. The Mediterranean-inspired kitchen prides itself on sourcing premium Victorian produce, so don’t miss locally driven dishes like the Aylesbury aged duck ragù with pappardelle and macadamia or the butter-braised Lakes Entrance monkfish.

    Next, head over to the MCG – lit up like the world’s most enthusiastic Christmas tree – to catch an electrifying session of Aussie Rules football or cricket. If you time your visit right, you might even score seats to the AFL Grand Final. For the ultimate sports enthusiast, the daily guided stadium tours are a rip-roaring crowd-pleaser.

    No matter what’s on your hit list, you can secure tickets and experiences through ALL Accor’s Limitless Experiences using your points.

    Day two

    The next morning, use the raw throat you earned from screaming along at the MCG to whisper your coffee order at The Cliveden Buffet Breakfast. Here, you can replenish your strength with Victoria’s most-loved morning staples, featuring rich Gippsland Dairy milk and artisanal La Madre Bakery sourdough. If the Melbourne bug has truly bitten, venture out into the city streets to immerse yourself in its cult coffee culture.

    After checking out, make your way to Higher Ground. Built inside a 19th-century power station, this popular brunch spot is all about the drama, from its multi-tiered architecture to its high-concept menu, with bites like prawn toast benedict and chilli scrambled eggs with smoked yoghurt and banana pepper.

    A coffee shot or two not enough to feed your addiction? The Victorian capital never judges. Take a break from vintage shopping to visit a pioneer of the city’s high-concept coffee culture: ST. ALi Canteen – Collins Street will give you your fix, plus a mac and cheese jaffle seasoned with Vegemite salt if that’s your fancy.

    Alternatively, hold out for an Asian-Australian lunch of caramelised pork belly with pineapple or baked scallops in a salted black bean sauce at Miss Mi at the Mövenpick Hotel Melbourne On Spencer.
