 |  | | Issue 407 | 7 August 2008 | | | Hi Cruisers,
It hasn't been a great week for the world economy and the Aussie dollar continues to slide with it holding steady at .91 at the moment. Predictions are it may slide below .90 as soon as today. This means all those great cruise prices that are converted from USD have gone up a lot in the past week.
Big week for China with the opening ceremony in Beijing this Friday night, I'm sure all the big screen TV's will be tuned in to watch. I imagine the light bill in Australia may go up a little next week! Speaking of China, we have some great specials for next year for both river cruising and ocean cruising, click here for more details.
