387: Princess 2009 Europe - Now on Sale!

Issue 387 | 19 March 2008

Hi Cruisers,

It's a big issue this week so in order for you to take advantage of the offers, we have sent it Wednesday... giving you Thursday to book as we'll be closed over Easter.

Big news for cruisers is between now and 2010, there will be a new cruise ship delivered every 32 days! More on that next week.

If you have yet to book Queen Mary II Sydney to Singapore, better get on board as there has been a price increase effective today on the normal rates. We have managed to avoid it however, it's only a matter of time!

The Fed reserve dropped interest rates last night sending the markets into overdrive, the Aussie dollar has recovered some ground this afternoon and is currently hovering around .93 - stay tuned.

We are pleased to release to you the details of the Princess Cruises 2009 Europe sailings. 2009 is set to be the biggest yet with over 90 amazing voyages, 9 new fantastic itineraries, more Holy Land voyages and 11 new ports of call.

Their newest ship Ruby Princess will be making her debut in Europe, sailing the Grand Mediterranean and Greek Isles program. Departing from Barcelona, she will visit Monaco, Italy, Greece and Turkey before arriving in Venice. We have included one night at the Rivoli Ramblas in Barcelona and return airfares with Singapore Airlines. This 13 night package on Princess’ newest ship is departing in May, July and September 2009 and starts from $5099 – click here for more.

Emerald Princess will be sailing the 10 night Scandinavian & Russia Itinerary from Copenhagen for the first time visiting either Oslo or Berlin and will feature two full days and an overnight in St. Petersburg. The Berlin Itinerary has been enhanced to include a stop in Helsinborg, Sweden! Our 11 night package includes one night pre-cruise at The Grand Hotel and return airfares with Qantas. Prices start from $4249 – click here for more.

Also debuting in Europe next year will be Tahitian Princess with all new Northern Europe itineraries ranging from 10 – 18 nights. A new itinerary for Princess Cruises is the Land of the Midnight Sun. Departing from London you will visit Norway and Spitsbergen and a place where the Sun never sets – Tromso. There is only one sailing for next year and it’s sure to be a big hit, departing 19 June 2009 prices start at $8349 include return airfares and one night (pre-cruise) at the Swissotel the Howard – click here for more.

Royal Princess will offer 12 Holy Land cruises plus an enhanced Crimean & Aegean Coast cruise with a new port of call – Sochi, Russia.

Crown Princess will be sailing the Mediterranean in spring and will include a new Grand Mosaic cruise, 12 night Mediterranean Explorer cruise plus a 15 night European Explorer.

Grand Princess will be offering two 14 night Mediterranean itineraries round-trip from Southampton and in the autumn she will continue with a selection of 12 night Greek Isles and Mediterranean plus Egypt Explorer.

Book early to avoid disappointment - continue to check our website for more of 2009 Europe season – they will all be loaded shortly!

Holland America’s 2009 Asia itineraries with ms. Volendam are now on our website. After completing her Trans-Tasman cruises ms. Volendam will have ports of call in Kobe, Vancouver, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and Auckland and will be beginning her Asian season cruising from Auckland to Singapore.

For those who are looking for a two week holiday, why not try ms. Volendam’s Hong Kong Return trip in October. You will spend one night at the Empire Hotel in Kowloon and then cruise around Asia visiting China and Vietnam before returning to Hong Kong to spend another night at the Empire Hotel. Departing 24 October 2009 prices start from $3849, click here for more information.

If you have a spare 66 nights from March next year, why not cruise from Auckland to Vancouver while visiting Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, China, South Korea, Japan, Russia and Alaska in between. We have included return airfares from Sydney, one night at the Stamford Plaza, Auckland and one night at the Fairmont Waterfront Vancouver. Prices start from $13999, which is a little over $212 a day – click here for more.

In November this year Costa will be celebrating their 60th Anniversary. To celebrate this occasion Costa have discounted two of their sailings. Departing on the 16th or 23rd of November this year, you will leave from Rome onboard Costa Concordia and visit Savona, Barcelona, Palma, Tunis, La Valletta and Palermo. Return airfares with Singapore Airlines and one night (pre-cruise) at the Crowne Plaza St. Peters in Rome have been included. Prices start from $3199, click here for more.

Keep cruising,
Brett.
