389: 50 Per Cent Off Fiji and Tahiti

Issue 389 | 3 April 2008

Hi Cruisers,

Thanks to everyone who entered our hat competition. As you've seen, all the photos were fantastic making it very hard to decide the winner. We had "peak" performers "brimming" with talent, "capping" off a "beret" special event. Our office came to the decision that Mrs Hooper's dog towel complete with glasses was the winner! Mrs Hooper will receive the David Jones voucher. Again, thank you to all entrants and we look forward to the next ecruising.travel competition. Click on the photo below to enlarge.

Now if you've never been to Tahiti because you think it's too expensive, then we are about to take all the excuses off you as we have two packages that will make you pack your bags! Now when you do get excited, call us and book it because, there are limited cabins at this price!

First is a 15 night package on Pacific Dawn departing Sydney on the 3rd of June. Dawn will visit Noumea, Nuku'alofa, Vava'u, Rarotonga and Raiatea before arriving into Papeete on the 14th of June 2008. We'll then transfer you to the 5 star Intercontinental Hotel for a four night stay giving you plenty of time to relax by the pool or take an Island tour. We'll then transfer you to the airport for a direct flight home on Air Tahiti. OK, the total package is an amazing $2499.00! Call us on 1300 368 848 or click here for details.

Next is a 19 night package which includes a one way direct flight on Air Tahiti to Papeete, 2 nights at the Intercontinental plus transfers. On the 14th of June, you'll board Pacific Dawn for a 17 night cruise to Sydney visiting Moorea, Bora Bora, Pago Pago, Apia, Niuafo'ou, Savu Savu, Fiji, Levuka, Suva and Dravuni Island, Fiji. What a great trip and all from $2999.00! Click here for details.

Now if you want to do the cruise Sydney return, the cruise only is $3199.00! Call Larissa and her Pacific team for details

It's all on this week with some great specials just in. Captain Cook have given us some last minute 50% OFF deals for Fiji, Murray River and Sydney Harbour. You'll have to be quick as the departures are April and May 08. Below are the details,

It seems everybody is getting excited about Costa's 60th anniversary celebrations and our friends at Europe's number one cruise line just keep cutting the prices of their fantastic Mediterranean cruises.

There's new specials for Costa Concordia, another for Costa Serena and two for Costa Romantica.

According to Cruise Passenger Magazine's 2007 Readers' Choice Awards, the Mediterranean tops their poll again, proving that "the Mediterranean holds an enduring fascination with Australians and cruising is the perfect way to pack in plenty of ports and sight-seeing."

The hottest seller is surely going to be the 7-night Mediterranean Magic aboard the magnificent Costa Concordia sailing out of Rome on the 16th and 23rd of November. Flying with Singapore Airlines and staying at the Crowne Plaza St. Peters in Rome, we're offering these fabulous itineraries for just $2849.00. It's a big ship, but will fill fast at this price, so PLEASE book early. For full details, click here.
