Renowned former ABC newsreader Juanita Phillips, a household name in Australia, is stepping into a new chapter—leading women on extraordinary, high-end travel adventures across the globe. Teaming up with Luxury Touring by Revelry (LTR), Phillips curates a series of women-only luxe tours designed for those seeking cultural immersion, history, culinary excellence, and unparalleled comfort.

Phillips’ debut venture into curated travel begins in August 2025, with an inaugural 12-night journey through Peru and Chile, followed by meticulously crafted Southern Africa and India expeditions in late 2025 and early 2026.

“These tours are about so much more than sightseeing,” said Phillips, reflecting on her career transition from journalism to luxury travel. “They offer a transformative experience—a unique opportunity for women to explore the world in a safe, inspiring, and unforgettable way.”

Tailored for Women Seeking Adventure, Culture & Connection

Targeted at women aged 40 to 60, each journey is designed for small groups of up to 16 travellers, ensuring an intimate and enriching experience. Accompanied by two dedicated travel escorts and expert local guides, guests will enjoy personalized attention and premium service.

“These tours foster a different energy,” Phillips explained. “There’s a sense of sisterhood, an opportunity to share stories, step out of comfort zones, and embrace new cultures—all while indulging in luxury.”

Each itinerary is meticulously curated to blend opulent stays with authentic, immersive encounters, including:

Peru & Chile (August 1-13, 2025) – From the bohemian streets of Barranco in Lima to a private dinner in Santiago, guests will experience the finest in South American hospitality. Expect a Belmond train journey to Machu Picchu, an exclusive night tour of the Larco Museum, and Gran Reserva wine tastings at the Casas del Bosque Vineyard.
Southern Africa (October 19-30, 2025) – This adventure includes a Big 5 safari, a sunset wilderness trek, a stay at the iconic Royal Livingstone, and a private tour of Victoria Falls. Guests will also explore Table Mountain and the Stellenbosch Wine Route.
India (March 2026) – A deep dive into India’s vibrant traditions, featuring a photographic safari in the Aravali Ranges, yoga sessions, henna artistry, and a saree evening with local women. Highlights include stays at New Delhi’s Imperial Palace and the 18th-century RAAS Devigarh.

Luxury with a Purpose: Ethical & Sustainable Travel

A strong advocate for sustainable tourism, Phillips ensures each tour supports local communities and cultural preservation. “This isn’t just about seeing the world—it’s about experiencing it in a way that is ethical, responsible, and leaves a positive impact,” she stated.

From engaging with Indigenous women in the Sacred Valley of the Incas to experiencing authentic village life in Africa, travellers can contribute directly to the communities they visit.

From Newsroom to the World’s Most Luxurious Destinations

Since leaving ABC in 2023, Phillips has embraced a new era of personal growth, focusing on family, wellness, and luxury travel.

“This is a wonderful time of life,” she said. “It’s about finally taking the time to enjoy what we often neglect while juggling careers and family responsibilities.”

With over 60 years of combined travel expertise, LTR ensures these tours meet the highest comfort, safety, and exclusivity standards.
