| Hi Cruisers,
More big news this week! 2009 Costa is now loaded and available for sale on our site and as announced last week, you can book it online yourself with fares starting at $549.00 AUD! Click here for 2009 Costa.
We also have some interesting news. China have decided to stop all multi entry visas to main land China! The only way you can get one is go to the Consulate in each state yourself. That's right, in person with passport in hand. The other option is, you go on the cruise, get off in the first China port and spend the day finding the consulate, what a great idea eh? The funny thing is, it was announced the day after Kevin Rudd visited China, just a coincidence? Anyway, our sources tell us there was no reason given and it's until further notice!
Just in is a reduced rate on Rhapsody of the Seas Sydney return 10 December 2008. The lead in fare for the 10 night cruise was $1449.00, it's now $999.00! Click here for details.
Cunard have reduced fares for Queen Mary 2 World Cruise Sectors for next year – Los Angeles to Auckland and Los Angeles to Sydney. Departing from Los Angeles on the 10th of February 2009, you will visit Hawaii, American Samoa and disembark in Auckland or, you can choose to stay on until Sydney. If you book a D8 Inside, C4 Oceanview or a B6 Balcony, it will be based on a guarantee, meaning you might receive a higher category than you have booked! Los Angeles to Auckland prices start from $4499, click here for more. For great value book a B6 Balcony on the Los Angeles to Sydney sector because this great fare is much cheaper than a D7 Inside, click here for more.
