| Hi Cruisers,
It's cold here in Sydney today! It's snowing in Bathurst, and the westerly winds are blowing the cold air through the city... It's currently a chilly 13 degrees!
Big news this week is, Royal Caribbean have announced Legend of the Seas will cruise year round in Asia as of November 2009. Great news for us because Asian fly/cruise packages have become very affordable, giving you the opportunity to explore this somewhat unknown region from the safety of a ship. At least Royal Caribbean are sending good ships to the region; they're not the latest, but still good quality. You'll find that once Asia gets their new cruise terminals built, they'll send in the big ships which will be exciting! We'll be loading the packages in the coming weeks.
I know Sun and Dawn Princess World Cruise Sectors have been released however, we won't be pushing them until we have our group allocations from Princess. The reason for this is we get onboard credits and better pricing with the groups so you'd be unhappy if you booked now then we came out with a better option. Don't hold your breath though, we've been waiting 8 weeks!
Speaking of Sun Princess, 12 January 09 sailing is now 50% OFF plus an on board credit of $100.00 per person! Click here for details.
Still good availability on Queen Mary 2, LA to Sydney with the 16 night package now $4899.00! Click here for details
We had oodles of enquiries for our Ultimate Hawaiian package this week and most wanting balconies. I know at the moment there are only Insides on Rhapsody, but given the credit problems in the US, I'm sure that is going to change. So my suggestion is, book an Inside and waitlist the balcony, good chance it will come through.
Viking 2009 River Cruises now available on our website with great value earlybird specials! Book by 31 July for river cruises on the waterways of Europe, Russia and China and save over $500 per person.
