specifically to you. Imagine lazing by the pool in the adults only area, or relaxing in a warm, bubbling spa with your significant other under the moonlight. Or getting your game on at the basketball court, mini-golf or skating on an indoor ice-rink! Of course there’s always the water park with its slides (adult-sized too!) and introducing the new FLOWRIDER, unique to Royal Caribbean where you can learn to surf how cool! Relax and enjoy the Broadway-style shows each night, then it’s cocktails and dancing ‘til dawn for some, dinner at one of the many world-class restaurants and laughing the night away in the comedy club for others. Your kids or the grandkids have Kid’s clubs with set activities to keep them busy - new friends, new fun, new interests... and all the computer games they can handle (if they aren’t in the pool splashing around!)

ANZACS - Lest We Forget
LONE PINE COMMEMORATIVE CEREMONY Albatross Tours DT1N777U
7 days - Spirit of Gallipoli
AUGUST 2015 For one of the most in‑depth ANZAC commemorative touring experiences, expert Battlefield Guides will unfold compelling stories on the very sites where the ANZAC legend was born. Gallipoli is a MUST-DO for every Australian - join in the spirit today. * Conditions apply.
CALLING FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST LET US KNOW NOW AND WHEN THIS TOUR IS RELEASED - YOU’LL BE OUR FIRST CALL!
IN HONOUR OF THE Hundredth Anniversary of Gallipoli “We are summoned to recall the battle sacrifices of Australian farmers and tally clerks, teachers and labourers and to commemorate outstanding courage and strength of character in the face of sustained adversity... [The campaign] won for us an enduring sense of national identity based on those iconic traits of mateship, courage, compassion and nous.”° 2014 is the anniversary of the hundredth year of the Gallipoli campaign, where many of our ANZACs gave their lives so that we may live ours in peace. It is also the seventieth anniversary of the ending of World War II in Europe, again a war in which ANZACs distinguished their bravery and courage to defend the nations and bring us to peace once again. Anzac Cove, on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey is the infamous site of the World War I landing of the ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) on 25 April 1915. Within 1 kilometre of the front line, and well within range of the enemy artillery, a “safe” section of beach was established where supplies and extra troops could be brought ashore. This was the main base for eight long months of the Gallipoli Campaign fought hard by our ANZACs. Well over 11,000 ANZACs fell, never to rise again, over 24,000 were wounded and multitudes of soldiers succumbed to unsanitary conditions, resulting in enteric fever, dysentery and diarrhoea. This defining, landmark episode in our history gave rise to the ANZAC spirit we now all share. Given to us by true heroes who exhibited strength, bravery and ingenuity when faced with adversity, while retaining a sardonic sense of humour and an overriding belief in mateship and equality. Today, Gallipoli Cove is a place of homage to the fallen, it is a beacon to Australians and New Zealanders alike who wish to remember the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for their country. Set on a stunningly beautiful bay that looks out into the sea, the surrounding beauty belies the past courage in which a new national identity was born - this is the legend of ANZAC, and for this we are truly grateful. In every battle Australian servicemen and women excel themselves - World War I and II, in Europe and the Pacific campaigns, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf and more. It is to them we look to for our safety, and to them we look for our Australian heroes - now we can visit the landscapes, experience the cultures, follow the pathways, and remember. °Anzac Day remembered across the globe - ABC News Online. 2006-04-25.
