Welcome to the second issue of the exciting new look Cruise Ahoy!Firstly I’d just like to thank all our valued customers for their

business in January, despite the economic turn down the

news are harping on about we had a record month and have

been surprisingly busy. I guess it’s because we’re all thinking

about our up and coming holidays this year, what with all

this freezing cold weather - I know I am!

If you’re worrying about holidaying during the credit crunch,

then don’t. Cruises represent the best value for money

holidays around. Just look at the facts: cruises are now much

cheaper than they were ten years ago and with the fantastic

all– inclusive packages there is so much included in the

price of your cruise, all your entertainment, food and drinks,

accommodation and the chance to hop from one great port

of call to another.

For those of you out there who haven’t experienced a

Nile Cruise then now is the time to book. Not only are we

offering some amazing deals on Nile Cruises (we have 7

night 4* cruises starting at only £399!) but we are soon to

be able to offer a dedicated Nile cruise section headed by an

advisor who has over 4 years of selling Nile cruises and has

in fact visited the region at numerous times.

If you’re still not convinced, take a look at our destination

focus this issue. Nile Cruises are truly one of the most epic

journeys that you can experience and they are the ideal way

to sample the best of Egypt. You can even add a week– long

stay in places such as Luxor from only £119pp. The temple of

Luxor is one of the most famous sites in Egypt, definitely not

to be missed and the Valley of the Kings has more than 60

royal tombs, including that of Tutankhamun.

Other highlights this issue include the next profiles in our

‘Meet the Team’ section, hear all about our infamous sales

guys Gregg and Kelvin and how they came to work for Jetline.

Just remember, if the cruise you are looking for is not showing

in this brochure then either take a look at the 1000s of cruise

deals on our website www.jetlinecruise.com or pick up the

phone and speak to one of our super friendly sales team,

I know they’ll be only too pleased to speak to you!

Happy Cruising!

Meet the Jetline teamMEET THE TEAM

Following on from last month meet the team we would like to introduce you to Greg Davis and Kelvin Sexton. Below you can find out a little more about them.

I am Kelvin and spent years running a business from my retreat in the Costa Del Sol. Initially I had set

up a very well known employment agency based in London and then moved onto a small chain of betting shops. Went into retirement in 1999 but boredom getting the better of me so started a golf holiday package company in the Costa’s. I was then offered the opportunity to manage a sales team of a large holiday company in the Algarve. Came back to the UK in 2002 and joined Cruise Control and worked my way through the ranks to middle management working along side Ian and Martin who you met in the last edition. After Cruise Control went back into retirement but was dragged out of retirement by Ian and have been with Jetline more or less from the start.

As my wife is Spanish I love the different Mediterranean type of cruise companies such as Pullmantur, MSC and Costa. When I go away I like the European flavours and like to be immersed in the culture of the continentals. I appreciate the European cruise companies are not for everyone but if you are looking for a different type of cruise where English is not always the first language I could highly recommend it.

I still love selling cruises and I enjoy customers who I can have some banter with. Love a laugh and joke and you will get plenty of them. (Most of them have been pinched off Ian). As one of the grand daddies of the company love speaking to the more distinguished clientele that we have. I look forward to being of service to you.

Hi, I am Greg and since day dot have always been a bookmaker and was with the same

company for 31 years. I started making the tea and graduated all through the ranks to where I ran a chain of shops. After taking early retirement I was head hunted by Channel 4’s racing pundit Barry Dennis to control operations for Barry’s Venture into the world of high street book making. I had full control of the shops from finding the premises obtaining the licenses to the profitability of the operation. After working for Barry for a couple of years I needed a change of direction. Kelvin informed me that he was working for new young dynamic company that was doing well and asked if I would like to join them as they had too many calls to handle.

I have now been here best part of 2 ½ years where I have been introduced into the world of cruising. The only thing I can say is I love it.

I have now first hand experience of 7 ships and tried some of the biggest in Navigator of the Seas to some of the smallest in Pullmantur. All of them have their own characteristics and I try and find out what my guest wants and put them on the right ship for them. One of the main reasons I love cruising is it is value. In effect it is an all inclusive holiday, some amazing ports of call and with plummeting of sterling it now is representing even better value for money. Again like Kelvin I think I have a good sense of humour and look forward to being of service to you.

Cruise Industry NewsHere is our latest roundup of cruise articles to hit our desk. STOP PRESS: Having monitored prices throughout January - most cruise lines have been under pressure from their US Based head offices to increase prices due to the exchange rate fluctuations. This means that as the Sterling is worth less in US Dollars - Prices have increased in Sterling to maintain the amount of US$ sterling prices are converted into.

Holland America Line was very pleased to win a prestigious award for their Pinnacle Grill restaurant. The restaurant was honoured at the Porthole Magazine’s 2009 Editor-in-Chief Awards, winning the best alternative restaurant category.

The Pinnacle Grill offers an elegant and sophisticated dining experience, with Bvlgari china, Riedel stemware and Frette linens. There are creative and innovative menus drawing from regional ingredients of the highest quality that will delight the palate. Indulge in hand selected aged Sterling Silver Beef, fresh seafood and an extensive, world-class wine list.

Richard D Meadows, the cruise line’s vice president of marketing, sales and guest programmes, said it was an honour to be recognised by the magazine. “Although there are many alternative restaurants today, we have continued to ensure the quality of the Pinnacle Grill’s dining experience stands out,” he added.

Commenting on the restaurant, magazine editor Bill Panoff said the restaurant offered a level of sophistication that was “unmatched” anywhere on the seven seas.

Cruise holidays on the increase in 2009

Despite the economic turn down it is predicted that the number of people taking cruises in 2009 will rise to 13.5 million, an increase of 2.3 percent on 2008. Sparked by new ships, ports and destinations as well as innovative on board activities, and a deep rooted popularity for cruising, cruise holidays will continue to offer incredible value across the entire spectrum of cruise holidays, in all price categories.

Terry L. Dale, Cruise Lines International Association’s president and CEO commented: “The remarkable diversity and variety of cruises give consumers a unique opportunity to find a vacation that fits their budget even during these economic downturns and we expect that North Americans, Europeans and travellers from all over the world will respond positively.”

The coming year will see continued diversification and global expansion of cruise operations. While the Caribbean, Alaska and Europe remain the dominant markets, many cruise lines have announced plans to increase their presence in other parts of the world, including Asia, Canada/New England, the Indian Ocean and Africa, the Amazon and Brazil, the Middle East and the Arctic regions, including Newfoundland and Greenland.

There will also be 14 new ships launching in 2009, including Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas, MSC Cruises Splendida and Celebrity Cruises Celebrity Equinox.

“The remarkable diversity and variety of

cruises give consumers a unique opportunity

to find a vacation that fits their budget even

during these economic downturns and we

expect that North Americans, Europeans

and travellers from all over the world will

respond positively.”

Microsoft Digital Workshops roll across Holland America fleet

Norwegian Cruise Line are looking to change the way guests are currently checked in with the launch of a new online check– in system that enables guests to board with ease.

The new ‘My NCL’ portal will also allow guests to update their details and track pre– cruise activity.

“By checking in online with My NCL, guests will speed up the boarding process allowing them to start enjoying their Freestyle cruising vacation sooner,” said Vivian Ewart, the cruise line’s vice president of passenger services. “Travel partners will find My NCL especially helpful in ensuring a seamless process from the moment a guest books to the minute they begin enjoying their vacation,” she added.

Guests cruising with Norwegian Cruise Line will be able to log onto their reservation up to 24 hours prior to departure. The system will also help guests to determine which documents are needed for travel, reducing the chance of any problems during the boarding process. It is also possible for guests to access copies of their itineraries.

Cunard new innovations and deploymentIt’ll be easier to stay in touch from the 2620-passenger Queen Mary 2 this year because the ship was recently outfitted with new stateroom wireless technology and mobile phone service at sea. Laptops will be usable from passenger cabins and mobile phone service from the high seas will become available from appropriately outfitted phones. Itineraries for Cunard’s two 2010 World Cruises have been announced.

They each start in January from New York. The 2014- passenger Queen Victoria will begin its third year of service with a 99-day circuit to London via Fort Lauderdale, San Francisco, Sydney, Hong Kong, and Dubai. It will visit 41 ports and will traverse the Panama and Suez Canals. Among the ports: Acapulco, Melbourne, Shanghai, Phuket, and Sharm El Sheikh.

The 2620-passenger Queen Mary 2 will take 101 days to circle the earth and reach New York. It will go east to the Mediterranean to India, the Far East, and Australia and New Zealand, heading to New York via South Africa, South America, and North America. Visiting 35 ports, it will stop in Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Auckland, Sydney, Perth, Durban, and Cape Town.

As soon as the prices have been released we will get these in our cruise ahoy so all you world cruisers can secure the best cabins at the best possible price.

Norwegian Cruise Line launches new online check-in procedure

Holland America Line has announced schedule details of their popular Microsoft Digital Workshops. The program began last April and soon became very popular with guests. It has now been put into place on five of Holland America Line’s ships, MS Amsterdam, MS Oosterdam, MS Westerdam, MS Eurodam and MS Noordam with a further seven ships to be completed by 27 May 2009.

“The Microsoft Digital Workshops have become among the most popular activities for all ages on our ships,” says Richard D. Meadows, CTC, executive vice president, marketing, sales and guest programs. “The relationship with Microsoft has been fantastic and we are looking forward to having this well-received program across most of the fleet.”

“We are thrilled that passengers of Holland America Line are finding value in the Microsoft Digital Workshops,” said Chip Wood, group manager, Consumer Segment Marketing, Microsoft Corp. “Providing guests with a comfortable environment where they can learn how to create, edit and share digital memories is a fun and unique way for Windows to enhance the cruise experience.”

The onboard workshops are offered complimentary and are led by Microsoft-trained ‘techsperts’ who demonstrate state of the art technology, enabling all levels of camera and computer users to take better photos, make movies, edit and share scrapbooks and share digital memories. Guests have the chance to learn how to share their digital memories through email, blogging and social networking so that friends and family back home are view their cruise experience even before they get home.

Guests on board Holland America Cruise Line ships can decide to attend all or just some of the multiple workshops which are held daily. The program has its own dedicated area on each ship. Microsoft Digital Workshops will begin with the cruise dates and ships listed below: MS Zaandam, Jan 21, 2009 in Hawaii MS Maasdam, Jan 30, 2009 in Caribbean MS Zuiderdam, Feb 17, 2009 in Caribbean MS Ryndam, Mar 5, 2009 in Mexico MS Veendam, April 27, 2009 in Panama Canal MS Statendam, May 10, 2009 in Alaska MS Volendam, May 27, 2009 in Alaska



Royal Caribbean has grown massively in the UK in the last few years what do you put this down to?

The growth of Royal Caribbean International has been down to several factors. Firstly, my colleagues in the UK office have worked hard

to demonstrate to our head office counterparts that more ships closer to home is a great idea. This has made cruising with Royal Caribbean more accessible which means people telling their friends and family about the great holidays they have had onboard. Plus, the huge innovations that are onboard our ships really appeal to families and first time cruisers, as well as those who enjoy cruising for all its traditional features who are looking for something slightly different. A ship like Independence of the Seas which was based in Southampton in summer 2008, and returns by popular demand in summer 2009, gave holidaymakers surfing, ice skating and rock climbing all from a cruise. Such features surpass expectations and this is why so many of our cruisers come back for their next holiday, and bring their friends with them.

How has Royal Caribbean changed to meet the demand of the UK cruise customer?

Royal Caribbean International is a truly international brand with features onboard all our ships that appeal to a multitude of nationalities reflecting the mix of both our onboard crew and guests. Therefore changes to appeal to UK cruisers are minimal and we are proud of the appeal of our international approach.

Areas such as entertainment also receive small changes and for the first season of Independence of the Seas being based from Southampton we had one of our best Cruise Directors running this side of things, who happened to be a Brit.

With all of the new ships coming in including the worlds largest Oasis of the Seas is the cruising sector risking being over saturated with capacity?

At Royal Caribbean we certainly don’t believe this is the case. The new ships coming into the market all offer something different and appeal to different types of holidaymaker. That all means more people try cruising and fall in love with it.

Royal Caribbean is known as the most innovative ships afloat, how are you going to push the boundaries with your next new ships?

Who knows?! Our chairman Richard Fain describes each new ship in the fleet as one-third tradition, one-third evolution, and one-third innovation. This means you will always see favourite attractions and features, we will always look to enhance an existing popular feature - such as adding an extra rock climbing wall to Oasis of the Seas - and there will always be something that you never thought you would see on a ship such as an open air park. Personally I would jump at the chance to ski onboard a cruise ship. Never say never!

Are there plans for a different class of ship after the Oasis class?

At the moment we are really focused on Oasis of the Seas, and the sister ship Allure of the Seas that will follow in 2010 and so it is too early to look beyond that. I think there is plenty of excitement to keep me going for the next few years.

Are there plans to bring an Oasis class of ship to Southampton?

Currently, no, but my time working with Royal Caribbean International has taught me to never say never. Oasis of the Seas features some large outdoor areas such as Central Park and the AquaTheater. This certainly suits the Caribbean climate more than the UK. However, Oasis of the Seas is selling really well in the UK market and so we are really confident that it will be one of the most popular ships for Brits.

Why do you think Royal Caribbean offers value for money?

Firstly, there is the quality of the ship, from the bedding you sleep in to the standard of the theatres onboard. Then add the sheer number of facilities – I have been onboard Independence of the Seas for a week and not tried everything there is to do, plus all of these activities – from ice skating to poolside ice creams – are all included in the price. When you work out the cost of a cruise per day, and that cost includes all meals, extensive kid’s club facilities, a work out in a first-class gym, a West End standard theatre show and much more, then the value really stacks up, particularly when compared against a land based holiday. Packing in as much as possible for every holiday pound spent is certainly where Royal Caribbean International performs very well.

Dear Greg

Wow, just returned off the Independence of the

Seas. What a ship she is. I am glad you talked us

into this cruise it was right up our street. Did not

see the kids as they were either in kids club, the

H20 zone and I could not get Phil off the flow rider.

(thinks he is 25 again). Our cabin was great and

getting those adjoining cabins made it a lot easier

and saved having to share the bathroom with the

boys. Loved the ports of call especially Gibraltar.

Our best holiday ever

The apes would not leave me alone. I only have one

complaint and that was there was too much food

and I put on just over ½ stone. I will need to diet

for my next cruise.

Once again thanks for great holiday and I cant wait

to get booked up for next year.

Regards, Sue and Phil Morris

Celebrity SolsticeDear Andrew

Just came back off the Solstice after seeing it

advertised in Cruise Ahoy. I have been cruising

for 10 years now and this ship blows the socks

off everything else that I cruised on. I really think

Celebrity have got it right with this ship and

have put a lot of thought into the finer touches

and how the ship feels. Everything went really

well with the package and I am glad you talked

me into the Balcony. The only problem is the Mrs

will be expecting one on all of the other cruises

we are planning to take. Can you let me know

if you get one on your amazing deals out to the

Far East as that is where we fancy next.

Once again thanks again and please keep

in touch.

John Brock – Celebrity Solstice 19th DecAmazing holiday!Dear Max

Just dropping you a line to say thank you very much for the

great holiday we have just had on the QM2 for Christmas

and New Year. Everything went to plan and we were amazed

at the amount of guests you had onboard on this sailing.

The other interesting thing was how quickly it got round the

ship amongst the brits that you were by far and away the

cheapest prices. Once again I would like to thank you and all

of Jetline for this amazing holiday. I am looking to go back

on again this Christmas so if you get any great prices please

drop us a line.

Kind regards, Gill & Lawrence Green by email

ThankyouThis is just to say thankyou for your efficiency in booking and the preparation details with information for our holiday which we have just returned from on the Golden Princess to Hawaii. We had a wonderful time and the choice of holidays you gave us in Las Vegas and Los Angeles were perfect.

So thank you once again and we will definitely be in touch with you for our next holiday.

Kind regards, Chris and Judith Gudgin.



Destination Focus The Nile, Egypt

To fully discover the ancient wonders of Egypt, Nile cruises are the

perfect choice. The Nile River has been Egypt’s lifeline since ancient

times and to see the real Egypt there is no better way than to follow

the course of the Nile, tracing the course of Egypt’s history as you go.

Nile cruises are also great for first time visitors to Egypt. Not only will you be able to visit all the fascinating attractions but you will also be travelling in luxurious style. A word of warning though, some of the ships advertised by cruise agencies are not always the five star affairs you are led to believe. Here at Jetline Cruise we only use two suppliers as we have found that cheap is not always best. African Safari Club is the largest tour operator into Africa and they operate two luxury Nile cruises, both of which are 5* and superb value for money.

Egypt boasts some of the most spectacular sightseeing destinations in the world, many of which are located along the River Nile. Luxor is Egypt’s capital and has been called the world’s greatest outdoor museum as it is here that you will find many of Egypt’s most well known temples. The West Bank is where you will find the fascinating tombs of the Valley of the Queens and the Valley of the Kings, including that of Tutankhamun from which a wealth of ancient treasures was recovered.


TO BOOK CALL: 0800 923 1601 9

Should you wish to extend your stay in Egypt and relax even more, a further week long stay at one of many hotels in Luxor, Hurghada or Cairo can be arranged. Hurghada has developed into one of the largest Red Sea Resorts and is bustling with shops, bars and restaurants. Try the freshly caught fish served up in downtown Hurghada and in the evening a visit to the Marina is a must. Extend your stay in the bustling metropolis of Cairo with its modern high rise buildings and the 187m high Cairo Tower, from which you can admire panoramic views over the city. Take a stroll around the world famous Pyramids and Sphinx, Cairo’s awe-inspiring fortress and you will feel like you have stepped onto a Hollywood film set.

Aswan is Egypt’s southernmost city and is larger but much quieter than Luxor. It is another firm favourite to visit on Nile Cruises and is small enough to walk around. The pace of life here is much slower and it is in Aswan that the Nile is at its most beautiful – wide, green and sprinkled with little islands decorated with palm groves and tropical plants.

There are some great opportunities for exciting shore excursions if you are looking to do something a little more active than admiring the Nile with a glass of wine in your hand as you glide serenely by (although this does sound very appealing). Take an early morning hot air balloon flight over the West Bank; in the evening see the Sound and Light show at the Philae Temple; enjoy a trip on a horse-drawn carriage from the Old Cataract Hotel, where Agatha Christie wrote “Death on the Nile” in Aswan.

SHIP PROFILE Norwegian Epic to be launched May 2010

• Inaugural sailings begin here in the UK in May 2010

- Eastern Caribbean includes Philipsburg, St. Maarten; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; and Nassau, Bahamas

NCL have announced that it has selected the name for its new F3 ship: Norwegian Epic. Just as the name implies, at approx 150,000 tonnes the ship will be the largest and most innovative Freestyle Cruising ship to date.

The 4,200-passenger Norwegian Epic is scheduled to sail year-round to the Caribbean from Miami, beginning in summer 2010. Following a series of inaugural events in Europe and the U.S., the ship will homeport in Miami and will sail year-round to the Caribbean offering alternating seven-day Western and Eastern Caribbean voyages through April 2011. These cruises are scheduled to go on sale to the public later this spring. NCL will open Norwegian Epic’s sailings for group block bookings exclusively for travel partners in mid-March 2009.

Norwegian Epic represents the next generation of Freestyle Cruising – a ship that incorporates a wide range of new features and amenities, including curved New Wave staterooms and unique nightlife options. To date, the company has revealed five unique nightlife venues that rival the experiences of Las Vegas, Ibiza, the Riviera and South Beach. The five venues include the industry’s first true Ice Bar; POSH Beach Club, a first of its kind beach club at sea that offers an exclusive, adults-only setting at the top of the ship; Halo, the Über Bar, a private bar and lounge in the ship-within-a-ship villa complex; Bliss Ultra Lounge, NCL’s all-day entertainment and nightclub complex with four-lane bowling alley; and Spice H20, an adults-only aft pool deck experience.

In addition, the ship will feature the New Wave standard, New Wave balcony and New Wave deluxe staterooms that represent a giant leap forward in cruise ship accommodations with a completely fresh take on bathroom design, contemporary curved architecture and open living space. The New Wave stateroom’s most distinctive design element is its curved walls and lines creating a modern and chic experience. NCL has maximized the living space with a bathroom that is completely unique with a separate shower stall, separate water closet and a modern vanity top sink. The staterooms feature a sophisticated earth-tone palette accented with a splash of colour and rich, dark wood. Concealed contour LED lighting and back-lit domed ceilings set a relaxing vibe.

NCL plans to unveil additional details about Norwegian Epic in the near future.

Jetline Cruise News

Launch of dedicated Nile cruise Section and website

This month we are really excited to be launching our dedicated Nile Cruise section and website. We believe our customers who are interested in going on a Nile Cruise will really benefit from this development and they’ll be able to arrange their holiday with someone who has been to the area many times before and can advise them on the variety of options available from a first– hand point of view.

Our sales team is expandingDue to an amazing start to the year we have expanded our sales team. We have recently acquired a young lady called Helen Evans. Helen has a wealth of experience in cruising and had worked for Crystal Cruises and more recently was Jetline’s sales manager for Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises where she worked for them for 3 years. Helen will be working on a part time basis and looks forward of being of service to you. You will find out more about Helen in up coming Cruise Ahoys.

Jetline support the Steve Redgrave Trust

We are also extremely pleased to announce that Jetline Cruise will be supporting the Steve Redgrave Trust in conjunction with Royal Caribbean Cruises. The aim of the Steve Redgrave Trust is to improve and enhance the quality of young people’s lives, particularly in relation to medical, social, educational and economic needs within the UK. The Trust provides funding for individuals, small charities and groups to encourage their development and to help with the provision of facilities – with a particular focus on improving opportunities for children and young people in their local communities.

Established in 2001 by 5 times Olympic Champion Sir Steve Redgrave, the Trust is an independent UK charity aiming to raise and distribute over £5million in grants over 5 years. Every person that books with us for Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises we will donate £2pp to the Steve Redgrave Trust. A very worthy charity, we are sure you will agree.

Well, the next edition of the new– look Cruise Ahoy is back again for you to enjoy!Here at Jetline Cruise we had an amazing start to 2009 with the best ever January. We had over 1000 bookings so we can only presume we must be doing something right. It just has to be our unbeatable prices, our ever so friendly sales team, our amazing choice of itineraries...anyhow, back to the news.

Latest dealsDon’t forget to take a look at all the latest deals available on our website www.jetlinecruise.com. We have a fantastic 22 night Easter special cruise to New York and back again from only £1299 pp and there are loads of free upgrades to balcony staterooms on Cunard Cruises Queen Mary 2.



MEDITERRANEAN Mediterranean cruises offer the most varied itineraries out of any in the world. Med cruises have more ports of call in a standard cruise than those in other areas of the world. The Mediterranean is easily accessible cruising from the UK without the need to fly. Sail from Southampton to the Med for longer duration cruises Cruise different areas of the Med such as Western Mediterranean, Eastern Mediterranean, Greek Islands, the Aegean and the Adriatic. The Mediterranean can be great value for money with cheaper cruises departing from Mediterranean ports reached by low cost flights from a range of regional departure airports throughout the UK. Med cruises now depart year round visiting some great cities which are not dependent on hot weather, plus many ships have indoor pools to beat the cooler weather in the winter months but still enable you to get a suntan

CARIBBEAN Caribbean cruises offer a surprisingly cheaper alternative to the Mediterranean. The most prolific Caribbean cruises are 9 night fly cruise packages cruising from Florida ports of Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Port Canaveral to the Eastern Caribbean or the Western Caribbean. The most sought after Caribbean cruises for the British holiday maker are Southern Caribbean cruises which incorporate the big name islands such as Barbados, Antigua and St Lucia.

Cruising from New York offers a cheaper alternative to cruising fro Florida and gives you the opportunity of combining two holidays in one – a New York City break with a relaxing Caribbean cruise. South Caribbean cruises tend to be more expensive than East or West Caribbean cruises as they generally depart from Puerto Rico with more expensive flight fares. However there are some promotional bargains to be had. Ask our sales team about our cruise and stay holidays for combination Caribbean cruises with either Las Vegas, Miami Beach, Orlando or Key West. Caribbean cruises operate year round with the best time to travel being between November to April

ALASKA Alaskan cruises generally operate between May to September. Most people like to begin their Alaska cruise from Vancouver to combine a visit to this fabulous city with the rugged coastline Although cheaper alternatives are available from Seattle – which is also a great place to visit. Ask our experienced Alaska cruise experts about add on packages to the Rockies with coach tours or train tours on the Rocky Mountaineer. Add on packages starting from as little as £299pp. Our best selling cruises to Alaska are on the 5 star Celebrity Mercury with fine dining, spacious cabins, Atrium pool and an incredible spa. Always try to stretch you budget to either an oceanview cabin or one with a Balcony. Waking up to glaciers and incredible vistas or the chance to spot a surfacing whale are all part of the cruise.

NORTHERN EUROPE Popular cruise destinations are to the Baltic incorporating Scandinavia & Russia, Norwegian Fjords cruises and cruising the North Cape including Iceland. Northern Europe cruises are great for people who do not want to fly with ships cruising from Southampton, Dover and Harwich. North Europe cruises are ideal for the first time cruiser or for a weekend / short break with cruises ranging from 1 night up to 17 nights. Mini cruises usually incorporate ports of call such as Guernsey, Le Havre, Amsterdam, Zeebrugge (for Brussells), Vigo and Bilbao in Spain. These cruises usually sail between May to September, the low priced cruises in may sell out fast and the Summer school holiday departures usually have some late bargains closer to departure. Look out for some lower priced cruises which depart from Amsterdam or Copenhagen for cruising the Baltic and countries such as Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands.. Not only are these a great price but also present a more accessible option for people who can depart from regional airports in the South West, Midlands, North, Wales, Belfast and Scotland. When cruising St Petersburg in Russia it is necessary to obtain a visa before you travel if you want to get off the ship and do your own thing in St Petersburg. If you book one of the organised excursions offered by the cruise line they will organise the visa for you.

CANARIES Canaries cruises are great in the Winter months for reaching some hot weather and sunshine close at hand. There are a number of options to reach the Canary Islands – cruise from the UK, fly directly to the Canary Islands or fly to Barcelona or Genoa and combine your cruise with some Mediterranean ports of call. Canaries cruises operate throughout the year with the no fly cruises sailing between April to November on the big ships from Southampton and Dover. Many Canaries cruises incorporate a visit to Funchal in Madeira famous for the Madeira Wine and cake. Be sure to visit the botanical gardens, the fish and flower markets in the main square and take a thrilling wicker basket sleigh down the cobbled streets form the church at the top of the hill. Sometimes Canary Islands are incorporated into Transatlantic Cruises which ships reposition from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean in the Autumn or vice versa in the Spring.

TRANSATLANTIC The most popular Transatlantic cruises are on the Cunard Queen Mary 2 which operates classic 6 night Voyages between Southampton and New York. Other Transatlantic cruises operate when ships reposition between the Caribbean and Mediterranean in the Spring and Autumn. Westbound Cruises to the USA usually incorporate 5 days at sea when each day is 25 hours long to make up for the time difference between the UK and the USA. On arrival into the US you are in tune with the local time and ready to enjoy the delights of you visit as soon as you step off the ship. Eastbound cruises are a great relief after your visit to the USA with the prospect to not having to endure a cramped and boring overnight flight, the lengthy check in / security procedures at the airport and a big plus is beat the jet lag. Contrary to popular belief – Transatlantic cruises are not boring. They offer the ideal opportunity for uninterrupted relaxation and a chance to truly enjoy all of the facilities the ship has to offer.

CANADA & NEW ENGLAND Canada & New England cruises usually operate within a very small cruising season between September to October when the foliage turns an incredible array of colours in the Autumn. Be sure to book early as they sell out fast, with oceanview and balcony cabins being the most popular. Many cruises depart from either New York, Boston or Quebec and offer the opportunity to combine a city break with your cruise. There are a limited number of no fly cruises to Canada & New England sailing from Southampton with Cunard on the Queen Mary 2 or with P&O these tend to be for 17 nights or more.

SOUTH AMERICA South American cruises usually operate in our winter months between Nov – March and offer the ideal alternative to Caribbean cruises for the seasoned cruiser. A number of cruises to South America are offered as part of a repositioning Transatlantic itinerary from the Mediterranean to Brazil, others are regular 14 night itineraries from Chile to Argentina around Cape Horn and from Argentina to Antarctica via the Falklands. Look out for full Circum-Navigation cruises from Florida via Brazil. Uruguay. Argentina, Cape Horn, Chilean Fjords and Peru to California or vice Versa. We also offer South America cruises combined with a full transit through the Panama Canal for a two holidays in one experience. There are specialist cruises from Ecuador to Galapagos Islands with some also incorporating Machu Picchu on Celebrity Xpeditions. Please call our sales team for these specialist itineraries.

FAR EAST Far East cruises are generally offered as a combination of short break cruises of 3 – 5 nights from either Singapore or Hong Kong. The other alternative is a loner duration of 11 nights plus as part of a continuous cruising tour of Asia by the ship These longer cruises tend to be more expensive as you would fly into one country and out of another. Most people opt for the shorter duration cruises as it enables them to do a cruise and stay holiday. Great value for money Far East & Asia cruises have been on the Royal Caribbean Rhapsody of the Seas in 2008, RCI Legend of the Seas in 2009 and the Azamara Quest in 2008 and 2009 through Celebrity cruises. Perhaps try a cruise with Princess cruises who also have a full and varied programme thoroughly cruising the Orient, Australasia and the Far East on the Sapphire Princess.

HAWAII Hawaii cruises are much more affordable and accessible these days with prices for a 16 night package starting from as little as £1099pp including flights Cruise the Hawaiian Islands either by flying to Los Angeles and cruise across the Pacific to Hawaii and Back. Or begin your cruise from Honolulu. NCL are the undisputed specialists for Hawaii cruising. Norwegian Cruise Lines well known for their Freestyle approach to cruising are the only company to have ships based in Honolulu on the island of Oahu. Combine your Hawaii cruise with a stay on Waikiki Beach or perhaps stopover in Los Angeles, San Francisco or even a Las Vegas add on.



Myth: Older snobsLots of people think Cunard and the Queen Mary 2 will be full of older snobs. On my first cruise it was pleasant surprise to find this was untrue. In fact (at the age of 41) I met lots of like minded people on board and made some good friends. Holidays on the Queen Mary 2 are not as expensive as many think they are – just take a look at some of the fabulous deals we have negotiated for you. As a result there is a greater mix of people and age ranges on board.

Myth: Too formalIt is no more so than any other cruise ship – in fact you can get away without having to wear a suit on board. They do have dress codes for the main restaurant in the evening which varies from smart casual (jacket), semi formal (Jacket & Tie) and formal (suit & tie). If you do not want to participate simply eat in one of the fabulous Kings Court venues.

Myth: Segregated diningIf you book a Princess suite – the main restaurant assigned is the Princess Grill which has open dining. If you book a Queens Grill suite – the main restaurant assigned is the Queens Grill – which also has open dining. Everyone else booking anything from interior staterooms to high grade balcony staterooms is assigned to the Britannia restaurant which has 2 sittings.

Having sampled the cuisine in the Queens grill I could not detect a difference to the food served in the Britannia restaurant. There is a larger menu and a more personalised service like flambé and filleting skills at your table side.

There are a number of other dining options throughout the ship which everyone can go to. With so many dining choices available the main restaurant assigned to your cabin is not one you would want to visit every night.

The Kings Court has four distinct and separate areas which are buffet style throughout breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.. The Lotus features Asian fusion food. The Carvery features Traditional British food including a roast every day. La Piazza serves a taste range of Italian dishes including pasta and Pizza, The Chefs Galley features food cooked to order such as burgers,

… And now what we really think:Enough of the brochure speak. Having cruised on the Queen Mary 2 several times

– this ship is one of our favourites. Here are the myths – exploded :

hot dogs, sandwiches and wraps. These areas have tea and coffee on tap 24 hours per day. In the evening however 3 out of the four restaurants are converted to waiter service on a rotational basis whilst one remains as self service buffet style. For the waiter service ones you have to make reservations and there is no extra charge for this. We particularly recommend these restaurants in the evening if you are looking for an alternative to the main restaurant assigned to your cabin reservation – the menus are impressive and the service superb. The Chefs Galley features French, Indian and Thai themes on different nights.

Other dining options include: The Golden Lion pub for traditional pub lunches such as ploughman’s, curry, fish and chips. The Boardwalk café on the top deck for buffet style alfresco dining– incredible burgers and hot dogs. Finally the Todd English restaurant where reservations are required for evening dining at a charge of approx $30 pp.

Myth: Transatlantic crossings are boringOn my first Transatlantic crossing I armed myself with 3 books to read during the 6 night cruise from Southampton to New York thinking I would be utterly bored. The opposite was the case and have since done another Transatlantic cruise. I would happily do another one again as these are the best cruises I have been on. A Transatlantic crossing is not a cruise but a voyage. It is more of an occasion than a journey – rather like a birthday is an occasion. This is the ultimate chance to relax – escape your mobile phone and your laptop, enjoy pampered luxury and self appreciation without the interruption of ports of call.

Your days are taken up deciding on where to eat, plotting your progress across the ocean, wallowing in the atrium pool on the top deck or relaxing in the many areas of the Canyon Ranch Spa. The thalasso therapy pool and relaxation lounge are our favourites. Perhaps having a read in the well stocked library or quiet contemplation in the Commodore Club over a cocktail or coffee on deck 9 at the front! Go star gazing in the planetarium or take in a lecture from one of the guest speakers on board. When the stars are not out in

the Planetarium watch a feature film being screened there. Watch the world go by in the Palm Court over a civilised pot of tea or decide how much or how little you want to work out in the fitness centre. By the end of your voyage you will wonder where the time has gone and will be reluctant to disembark.

Arriving and departing from New York is absolute fun and a highlight of the cruise.

On a West bound cruise from Southampton to New York it is a pleasure to board in Southampton and start your experience immediately without having to go through lengthy check in and security procedures at the airport then waiting around in the lounges before boarding your flight to the US. Your 5 days at sea are 25 hours long to make up for the time difference between the UK and the USA. Everyone gets up at 5 in the morning on the last day to watch the Statue of Liberty glide pass as the sun rises behind the picturesque Manhattan skyline. On arrival at Brooklyn (only 20 minutes by taxi to Manhattan) you are in tune with US time and ready to enjoy a full day shopping, enjoying the sights and nightlife this city has to offer.

On an East Bound cruise from New York to Southampton and after a frantic time fitting all of the shopping and sightseeing in – it is an utter relief to board the Queen Mary 2. Throughout your time in New York there is great realisation in the fact that you have not got to endure the laborious check in and security procedures at the airport then a cramped and impatient overnight flight back to the UK. Everyone joins in the sailaway party in the afternoon celebrating the farewell to New York and the ultimate landmark sailing under the bridge as the ships horn blows for a final goodbye to the continental USA. Each day on board your clocks are adjusted by an hour so that you arrive in Southampton in tune with UK time – with no jet lag!

All in all a cruise on the Queen Mary 2 is a memorable experience more for the quality of your time on board and the relaxation … rather than the ports of call and the activities there are to do.

This has been one of our top selling offers throughout January. Availability is going fast. Phone now – if the stateroom grades (which the fares below are based on) have been sold then the next grade up should be available at a small supplement.

This exciting offer combines 4 nights hotel stay in Toronto with a trip to Niagara Falls and a 6 night classic Trans Atlantic crossing from New York to Southampton on the Queen Mary 2.

Fly direct from Gatwick to Toronto for 4 nights hotel stay in a centrally located hotel. An escorted coach tour is included to Niagara Falls with free time to explore Niagara, a stop at the mighty Whirlpool rapids, a journey through picturesque Niagara on the Lake and stop at a winery. Plus a trip on the famous Maid of the Mist.

At the end of your Toronto stay fly direct to New York where you will join the Queen Mary 2 for 6 nights sailing back to Southampton. Departing from New York is memorable as you pass the Statue of Liberty and the picturesque New York skyline fades into the distance behind the wake of the ship. Ask about optional nights hotel stay in New York for a supplement.

Sailing on the Queen Mary 2 is an experience in itself without the interruptions of ports of call. Time to rest, relax, a spot of self appreciation and absolute self indulgence. Late mornings in bed with waiter service to get you going. A leisurely breakfast, a stroll on deck and perhaps a lecture from one of the guest speakers on board. An afternoon pint in the pub, a wallow in the Canyon Ranch Spa, then an aperitif in the Chart room before dinner. Try your hand in the Casino after

the theatre then round the night off in the very stylish Commodore Club for a night cap. By the end of your voyage you will wonder where the time has gone and will be reluctant to disembark.

The itinerary operates in reverse with Westbound cruises from Southampton to New York and an overnight flight home from Toronto.

CANADA & NEW ENGLANDWe have held off until now to promote Canada & New England cruises. These are a specialist itinerary with a very short window of opportunity to cruise during the Autumn months. A two holidays in one type cruise such as this combining the breathtaking colours of the New England coastline and the shopping and delights of New York – it is no wonder that these tend to sell out very quickly and are quite pricey compared to similar duration cruises to the other parts of the world.

We feel we have come up trumps with this offer at such a low price plus upto $100 per cabin on board credit.

A great way to journey across the Atlantic avoiding the flying plus taking in ports of call on the way. Plus $150 per cabin on board credit.

Depart from Dover for 11 night cruise to Lerwick (Shetland islands) – Reykjavik (Iceland) – St Johns (Newfoundland) – Halifax – New York. Fly home overnight.
