To strive and provide the best Party Bus Tours in Australia
Headed
by the
Principle
of Nightcruiser
Party Buses, we aim to provide the best Party Bus
Tours in Australia. Complimented by the biggest
selection of Party Bus Tours in Australia with emphasis
on entertaining, fun and safe outings. |
To constantly improve services and vehicles
Improve and update our booking assistance
services, vehicle types, audio visual equipment
and lighting, customer services and Nightcruiser
Crew training. We are proud of the constant improvements
achieved and increased level of services introduced. |
Understanding Liquor Licensing, responsible drinking and
relevant local laws.
It is an offence for tour operators to offer or
provide alcohol without a licence issued in accordance
with the Liquor Licensing Act. Anyone who breaches
this act can be prosecuted.
The cruiser captain/tour host should understand
and at all times know how to promote responsible
drinking and the need for ‘moderation'.
It is the responsibility of the cruiser captain/tour
host to inform all guest that it is an offence
to drink alcohol or hold an open alcoholic drink
in public places within the City and Municipalities. |
Planning tours in advance with venues and Host responsibilities.
The Nightcruiser Crew must plan out a workable schedule
in advance and book venues prior to the tour date.
This is a free service provided so the venues will
be more able to better welcome the tour group. This
allows door staff to be aware of the number of people
in the group, the type of group i.e..18th, 21st,
Hen's or Buck's night, the expected time of arrival
and the host's name and contact number. It eliminates
many problems and speeds up VIP entry, were provided.
During bookings the Nightcruiser Crew assist with
planning out the tour and following this up with
detailed simple signed agreements and terms and
conditions that become the responsibility of the
Host/Charterer.
Nightcruiser Captains/Hosts are provided with Tour
instructions for the individual Nightcruiser Party
Bus Tours, allowing them to conduct the tours correctly
and in safety. |
Dealing with inappropriate behaviour by
an individual within a
tour group
If the Cruiser Captain tour host becomes concerned
about the behaviour of an individual member of the
group, while inside or while waiting to enter a
venue, they should immediately inform the venue's
door/security staff. The venue staff can then assist
and if necessary, respond to the situation according
to the law and the conditions of entry of the venue.
It may be necessary to escort the individual from
the club and request that they wait in the bus or
offer to call them a taxi. In extreme situations,
it may be necessary to contact police via the 000
emergency number |
Dealing with inappropriate
behaviour by multiple individuals and an entire tour group
If the Cruiser Captain/Host observes that the behaviour
of the entire group becomes inappropriate either
inside or while waiting to enter a venue, they should
immediately inform the venue's door/security staff.
Again, this will enable the venue staff to assist
and if necessary to have the Cruiser Captain move
the group along to another venue or to stop the
tour altogether and return to the agreed ending
point if this is safe to do so. In extreme situations,
it may be necessary to contact police via the 000
emergency number |

Knowing and advising of venue entry requirements
– identification
and dress code
Cruiser Crew must advise potential clients that
photo ID's and appropriate dress standards are a
requirement of entry to all licensed venues. They
must request that information be passed on to their
guests in advance. |
Observing
traffic regulation to help keep your group and
other road users safe
Cruiser Captains should never double park
outside a venue as this can cause traffic flow problems
and can place passengers at risk when boarding and
alighting the Nightcruisers. Instead, Cruiser Captains
should plan to use a nearby legal parking bay and
tour hosts should inform all passengers that this
is the agreed pick-up point before the group departs
the bus at each venue. Via microphones provide the
Cruiser Captain/Host must inform Party Goes the
requested time of return to the Nightcruiser. |
Promising only
what the Nightcruiser Party Bus tour can deliver
It is vital to ensure all potential clients are
aware of exactly what the Nightcruiser Party Buses
can offer on the night as well as the limitations
and uncontrollable factors on the night. For example,
we must reinforce that entry to all clubs will rely
on members of the group complying with dress codes,
liquor licensing laws about intoxication, the provision
of photo ID and general accepted behavour. If a
club will not guarantee entry to the group, even
if all the above criteria have been met, it is the
responsibility of the Cruiser Captain/Host to inform
the potential client to avoid disappointment and
minimise the likelihood of conflict during the tour
to move on to the next venue or an alternative venue to minimise the likelihood of conflict during the
tour. |
Training the Cruiser
Captains and Hosts to keep control of the tour group
The Cruiser Captain/host leading the group should
be trained to maintain control of the tour group
even if the group become intoxicated and difficult
to direct. The host/charterer should always precede
the group to the entry of the venue to organise
the most convenient location for the group to queue
and then assist the door staff to usher the group
into the venue efficiently. This helps to avoid
the group becoming fragmented, minimise disturbance
to other patrons and helps ensure the area surrounding
the entry/exit is not congested. |
Providing signage and name tags to identify Nightcruiser Party Bus
Patrons to venues
Clients guests are welcome to develop a theme with
name tags which helps the nightclub industry build
relationships and work more closely with patrons
to ensure smooth, friendly and well-organised tours.
It is Nightcruiser Party Buses intentions to offer
Nightcruiser T Shirts, Caps and special themed name
tags in the future to add to the atmosphere of the
group night. We are in the process of negotiation
with venues allowing entry with wearing such attire. |
Keep and maintain an up to date Lost Property register.
Nightcruiser Captains/Hosts
to return all additional property found after inspection
of interior and exterior of Nightcruiser Party Buses
at the end of each tour. Return it for collect to
the depot and make sure the items are registered
and complied with state regulations covering those
type of incidents. |
Maintain Nightcruiser Party
Buses under the Omnibus Operators Standards Scheme
Through our Depots/Operation Departments and in accordance to the state licenses issued to
the Nightcruiser Party Buses, we maintain all vehicles
and records as per the Operators Standards Scheme
Manuals for the safety and comfort for all Nightcruiser
Clients. |
