374: Last Minute QE2 Specials!

Issue 374 | 20 December 2007

Hi Cruisers,

It's been a big year and we want to thank you all for your business and friendship. Today, we held a morning tea and lunch on board ms Statendam for some of our POSH Club members. Below is a photo of the lunch group including myself, Carly and Rebecca from ecruising.travel. Statendam is a good size ship and we were all surprised at the children's facilities on board, more of a family ship than we thought! Statendam will be here until the end of February 2008. Whilst we were on board, we found out ms Volendam will be here next year and will overnight in Sydney Harbour New Years Eve, we'll have fares out soon for this. If you're a POSH Club member and live in Sydney and are available during the next couple of months for similar functions, please let us know. As I've been out of the office most of the day, Leanne has done the newletter in my absence. - Brett

With Christmas just around the corner we have some fantastic specials this week, both early bird specials and last minute deals for everyone. We will be closed from the 21st of December and re-opening on the 27th of December. The festive season is well known to bring out the best in people, and it's also a great time to book a great cruise.

We have a special last minute offer for you all - especially families! We have packaged Costa Allegra with DISNEYLAND in Hong Kong! You will arrive in Shanghai on the 11th of October and spend one night at the Crowne Plaza Pudong. You will then board Costa Allegra and cruise from Shanghai to Hong Kong for 14 nights. When you arrive in Hong Kong you will spend one night at the Empire Hotel in Kowloon and then transfers to the Disneyland's Hollywood Hotel for 2 nights. We have also included a day pass to Disneyland Hong Kong!! This is the great part - children cruise free (paying just port / govt. taxes) up to 18 years old, sharing the cabin with 2 adults. This would be a great Christmas present for the children and yourself! Click here and book today or you might miss out!

From now until January 18, we have 8 Fly / Cruise specials for those who want to depart from Brisbane. You will fly from Brisbane to Singapore and cruise with Star Cruises - with a saving of over $600 per person and airfare taxes, levies and surcharge included (as of 17 December 2007), this is a great saving! However, there is a condition to be eligible for these packages - two guests must travel together on all flights. Look at our cruise specials below or click here to see more.
