Welcome Happy New Year to all our Jetline customers and I hope you had a fantastic Christmas. I’m so looking forward to 2010 which is already shaping up to be an exciting and fun packed year. January is always a busy time for us as many of the cruise lines launch special deals. As always, we look at the best possible prices and packages to help you plan a much deserved break now the festivities of Christmas are a distant memory, the weather continues to depress and the nights are cold, dark and dreary. With lots of amazing deals on offer, why not consider jetting off to the Caribbean over the next couple of months to really get some sunshine? I can personally recommend Royal Caribbean’s newest addition to their fleet - the Oasis of the Seas. This was an amazing launch I was lucky enough to attend at the end of last year - she really is jaw droppingly spectacular. I am delighted to confirm details of our new Loyalty Scheme which launches this month do have a look on the opposite page for more details. Not only do we pride ourselves on bringing you the best possible prices - we are also offering you even more when you book a cruise holiday. The more you cruise - the more you save - it could not be easier! With even more new recruits now fully trained up at HQ to ensure there’s always someone available to take your call, and a Cruise Ahoy issue jam packed with even more bumper offers we can’t wait to talk to you and make sure you get 2010 off to a flying start by finding you the perfect holiday.

Cruise Industry News Here we are with the whole of the year ahead of us and the cruise lines are working harder than ever to attract you to their cruise ships. You can see below that despite being in a recession cruises are out performing other areas of the holiday sector as they are the best all in one value for money holiday. The cruise lines recognise this and are constantly evolving with new innovations, changes and ship launches. During 2010 we are looking forward to 7 ship launches including: P&O Azura, MSC Magnifica, NCL Epic, Holland America Nieuw Amsterdam, Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas, Celebrity Eclipse and Cunard Queen Elizabeth.
Small is beautiful for P&O Cruises as it announces another addition to the fleet P&O Cruises is bucking the industry trend towards ever larger vessels by introducing a ship to its fleet that will accommodate just 710 passengers and will be able to visit the “off the beaten track” destinations that are inaccessible to some of the bigger ships of today. The new ship will be named Adonia and will join the fleet in May 2011, to become the smallest of P&O Cruises seven ships. Along with Arcadia she will be an adult only ship. More than three-quarters of her 355 well-appointed cabins have balconies and Adonia’s public rooms will have a traditional feel and feature wood panelling, leather armchairs and fine artwork. She will have an extensive library with over 4,000 titles and a grand lounge with an intricately inlaid wooden dance floor and stage to host a range of entertainment, from after dinner speakers to shows by P&O Cruises Headliners Theatre Company. Adonia will also have the signature P&O Cruises features of a forward Crow’s Nest observation lounge with a nautical feel, and Anderson’s, a centrally located traditional club style lounge bar. P&O Cruises managing director, Carol Marlow said: “I am delighted to announce this great news in response to our passengers’ comments to me that some prefer smaller ships. The addition of Adonia will deliver an elegant and welcoming ship with real small ship charm. She will offer a truly intimate and traditional cruise experience,
P&O Arcadia yet with all the comforts you would expect from a modern vessel. With this size of ship our passengers will be able to get to know their fellow cruisers and crew easily as they travel to some of the most intriguing destinations on the map.
“Whilst larger ships have their own appeal, with the spectrum of bars, dining and entertainment choices they can offer, others really enjoy a smaller ship, with its more intimate ambience. No other cruise line offers this breadth of choice specifically for the British cruiser.” Adonia’s itineraries and fares will be announced in Spring 2010. For more information call your Jetline Cruise Specialist now to pre register.
UK Cruising – Both Little and Large Style – Set to break Records in 2010 The Britannia Restaurant aboard Queen Elizabeth
As a country we may still be technically in recession, but the cruise industry is reaping the rewards of offering variety and value as more and more people opt for a cruise holiday in the new “Tens” decade about to open. This is the bold forecast of the industry body representing some 38 cruise companies operating in the UK and is made by Passenger Shipping Association on the day (November 30) the largest cruise ship in the world, Royal Caribbean International’s Oasis of the Seas, is officially named at a global launch ceremony in Florida. “We predict a record 1.65m UK passengers will choose a cruise in 2010, an increase of 6.5% over 2009. We put this down to the two “V”s – value and variety” said Bill Gibbons, PSA director. “You can now choose to join a cruise with just 49 fellow passengers around the Scottish Highlands on the delightful Hebridean Princess, or 6,000 others in the Caribbean on the awesome Oasis of the Seas, or indeed numerous other ships that offer exceptional quality and exciting destinations throughout the world. Meals, accommodation and entertainment are included in the price which can be neatly hedged by UK consumers paying in sterling. You not only can visit many vibrant ports and enjoy every activity under the sun, but also meet so many different people and cultures, making cruising such a satisfying experience.” The 2010 decade will start with no fewer than 16 new ships, of all sizes, set to launch within the first twelve months, and those dedicated to the UK market include P&O Cruises’ Azura, Cunard Line’s Queen Elizabeth and Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Eclipse.

Royal Caribbean International Celebrates Naming of Oasis Of The Seas Seven Celebrity Godmothers Inaugurate the World’s Largest and Most Revolutionary Cruise Ship. Royal Caribbean International officially named its newest cruise ship, Oasis of the Seas, on Monday 30 November, during an elaborate maritime celebration designed especially for the world’s largest and most revolutionary cruise ship. Putting a new twist on one of maritime’s longest standing traditions, the global cruise line was honoured to have not one, but seven celebrity godmothers – Gloria Estefan, Daisy Fuentes, Shawn Johnson, Keshia Knight Pulliam, Michelle Kwan, Jane Seymour and Dara Torres – preside over the festivities. The celebration took place throughout the seven signature neighbourhood’s onboard Oasis of the Seas, culminating with the traditional Champagne bottle breaking ceremony followed by a fireworks display in the AquaTheater, the ship’s dazzling oceanfront theatre.

Azamara Cruises Becomes “Azamara Club Cruises” Azamara will offer experiences such as a Grand Egypt tour featuring the best of both Luxor and Cairo.
Amalfi Coast and Capri; a full three days and two nights in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Azamara’s Scandinavia and Russia Itineraries; and multiple overnight stays in Azamara’s Southeast Asia region, including Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Singapore and Hong Kong. Azamara has created distinctive two-day packages tailored to the overnight destinations, to make it easy for guests to immerse themselves in each location, whether it’s Dubrovnik, Croatia; Odessa, Ukraine; Livorno (Florence), Italy, Warnemunde (Berlin), Germany, or London, in addition to Sorrento and St. Petersburg.
Azamara Cruises – the two-ship brand launched in 2007 with the 694-guest Azamara Journey and sister ship Azamara Quest – has become “Azamara Club Cruises,” with a newly refined focus, and a series of new attributes designed for upmarket, experienced travellers. “This isn’t a strategy of going ‘from good to great’,” said Azamara Club Cruises President & CEO Larry Pimentel.
“This is about taking an already great product and making it exceptional.” Tapped to take the helm of Azamara Cruises in July of this year, Pimentel spent several weeks talking with travel agents, past guests and press to determine how to make his great-to-exceptional goal a reality. He also tapped a small new team focused 100 percent on Azamara, including VP of Sales & Marketing Edie Bornstein, AVP of Hotel Operations
To book call: 0800 923 1601
Bert Van Middendorp, Director of Marketing Signe Bjorndal, Director of National Accounts Michelle Nevin, and an eight-member field sales team dedicated solely to Azamara. Together, Pimentel and team shaped the new Azamara Club Cruises, whose most distinguishing new attributes will be in effect by April 2010. “Today’s cruisers have incredible new vacation options – like Celebrity’s stunning Solstice Class, and Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas,” said Pimentel. “Azamara Club Cruises will distinguish itself by delivering the destination like no other line.” Azamara Club Cruises will visit 140 ports in 50 countries in 2010, with itineraries featuring more overnight stays to allow guests to immerse themselves in communities and cultures. Among the overnight locations are Istanbul, Turkey; Sorrento, Italy, which offers a host of tour options along the
Azamara also will offer experiences such as a two-night package from Bangkok to Laos; an overnight tour from Hiroshima to Osaka via bullet train; a three-night experience from Mumbai including a visit to the Taj Mahal; overnight tours in Israel between Ashdod and Cairo, and a Grand Egypt tour featuring the best of both Luxor and Cairo. Among Azamara’s specialty tours include a Ferrari driving tour in Civitavecchia, Italy; a walk down memory lane in Liverpool with the “In the steps of The Beatles” tour; a private demonstration of chocolate flavors in Dubrovnik; a “Theatre A La Carte” evening in London; Croatian liqueur tasting in Zadar; an Imperial Russian Court evening at Tsarskoye Selo in St. Petersburg; an evening gondola serenade in Venice; and high tea at the Burj al Arab Hotel in Dubai.

Budget Busting Ideas Find the right cruise at the right price
As you can imagine – being at the forefront of the cruise industry for the past 10 years we have built up considerable experience in pin pointing the best cruise offers in an extremely competitive market. Here are some great ways of finding the right cruise at the best price with ideas on how to save money along the way and hopefully bust your budget. FINDING THE BEST SAVINGS We believe we have done all of the hard work for you already. All of the offers featured in our magazine are priced lower than what is offered directly from the cruise lines using our special Jetline discount. For a number of offers we have enhanced the cruise with a land based stay to offer a unique all round holiday experience at surprisingly low prices. Our offers are also compared with similar cruises available with other cruises lines and then chosen for a combination
of being a lower price, better itinerary and / or a more popular ship. Cruise prices fluctuate constantly dependent upon demand, availability, fuel costs and airline fares. Our prices are based on the best deals of the day that we can find. What is available today could have gone up in price tomorrow. It may be a cliché but – if you see something you like - book it now. In 2009 we have experienced unprecedented demand for our best selling offers - the cruise lines and airlines then respond to this by putting prices up. GUARANTEE CABINS If you are flexible and not fussy about cabin numbers and locations – you can pay a low price and possibly end up with a high grade of cabin. For flexibility many cruise lines from time to time offer special promotional prices based on a non specific grade of cabin. These are referred to as guarantee cabins which do not have a specific cabin number, location or deck at the time of booking. These cabins are usually considerably cheaper than the lowest priced cabins with a specific location on the ship and deck number. Look out for interior, ocean view and balcony guarantee cabins at the time of booking. The cruise line will then allocate a specific cabin
6
number at the time the cruise documents are issued shortly before your cruise. Lots of cruisers usually end up with a higher grade of cabin than they would have otherwise had. THE BEST TIME TO BOOK Early Booking Offers. When a brochure or new campaign is launched it is usually packed with some great early booking offers – such as free car parking, special discounts and on board credit. These are ideal if you have specific requirements for your cabin grade, cabin location & cruise itinerary (if it is an unusual one). If you are looking to book a family of three or four in one cabin during school holidays - book early to avoid disappointment. Early booking offers are usually for cruises departing 6 months or more in the future. Many cruise lines launched their new campaigns at the start of December ready to sell in January and February. Take a look at some unbeatable Summer early booking offers for NCL Gem, MSC, RCI Jewel, Cunard Queen Victoria and RCI Adventurer with 7 night Med cruises starting from only £649pp. In short - book early if you like something to look forward to and have specific requirements.

Find out what your luggage allowance is before you leave
Look out for free cabin upgrades. Here is a deluxe balcony cabin aboard Queen Mary 2
Late Offers In our experience the best late booking offers are usually brought out by the cruise lines 12- 4 weeks before departure. We have lots of budget busting offers for February and March. As prices and availability are so volatile for this late sales period - please call us for the best deals of the day for Caribbean, Canaries and Winter Med cruises. In short - for a late deal BE FLEXIBLE and you will end up with a bargain. Special Offers / Exclusives These can be at anytime of the year and are usually where we have found some really low cruise and flight prices to make desirable cruise holidays. Check out our Cruise and stay holidays on the Queen Mary 2, Las Vegas & Hawaii, RCI Far East cruises and the Maiden Voyage on NCL Epic. In short if you see something you like – GRAB IT as it won’t be around for long at that price.. ON BOARD CREDIT OFFERS This January there are lots of offers with on board spending money for things like - drinks, speciality restaurants, purchases on board and excursions. This helps to cut the cost of your overall holiday and means that you need less spending money. Take at look at the impressive on board credit offers for NCL, Royal Caribbean, Cunard Queen Victoria and P&O. FREE CABIN UPGRADE OFFERS Look out for FREE cabin upgrade offers to help you save even more money. Cunard Queen Mary 2 has a number of departures where there is a free upgrade from an ocean view cabin to one with a private balcony. Plus there are free cabin upgrades available on Celebrity Equinox, NCL and Holland America.

FLY CRUISES All of our cruises departing from ports overseas include flights from London. London airports such as Heathrow and Gatwick are the main hub for the international routes of most airlines. As a result airfares from London tend to be much lower than those from regional airports. These can be lower still if flying indirectly via the airlines main hub in the USA – such as flying via New York to Florida. This is perfect if you want to avoid the immigration queues at Miami and if you want to add on extra nights and visit the local area before continuing your flight. For our members who live further away from London we are experienced in finding the best flight arrangements from your local airports at the lowest possible supplement. This may be by booking the full flight itinerary from your local airport, but usually the cheaper option is to simply add on a separate low cost flight to connect to the flight itinerary from London. If you are flexible then big savings can be made – for example using Easyjet from Liverpool instead of a BA flight from Manchester or using Flybe from Belfast to Southampton. AIRLINE LUGGAGE ALLOWANCES Quite often many people come home with more luggage than what they went with. This can have costly consequences if you exceed your airline luggage allowances. Therefore we would recommend you understand what these are before you travel. It is always much cheaper to pre-book excess luggage before you travel than by paying
higher charges at the check in desk. Another way of overcoming this is to look out for our cruise holidays with no flights or ones where cruises sail back to the UK such as some of our MSC, Cunard Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria offers. TAXI RANK v PREBOOKED TRANSFER Some of our lowest prices are achieved by sourcing airfares and hotels separately from the cruise fare. Savings of hundreds of pounds per person are made over the cost of the full package direct from the cruise line. The only tangible difference being that you have to make your own way in a taxi between the airport, hotel and port. We can pre-book transfers for you but these cost two or three times more than simply hailing a cab from the taxi rank outside the arrivals hall. Pre-booked transfers also take much longer - having to identify where the transfer desk is, waiting for transportation to become available, waiting for other passengers to join you and making a circuitous route if travelling to or from a hotel. Plus by travelling in a private taxi you can beat the queues and get there before the transfer coaches. AIRPORT & PORT CAR PARKING Save money by taking advantage of one of our FREE port car parking offers with Royal Caribbean, MSC and P&O. If not we can pre book your port or airport car park and this will usually save from £3-£6 per day instead of simply turning up on the day.

Taking a cruise to the eastern Mediterranean is an ideal way to experience many cultures and countries in one trip and the eastern part of the Mediterranean is especially diverse. Experiencing a cruise to the eastern Mediterranean will take you to a region of the world where eastern and western cultures begin to converge and you’ll will be able to take in the wonderous sights in ports including Italy, Croatia, Egypt, Greece, Malta and Turkey. Venice is a popular point of departure for cruises to the eastern Mediterranean and many cruises take in the fascinating cities of Rome, Florence and Pisa with cruiselines offering a vast choice of shore excursions to fully maximise your time ashore.
and residents of this amazing city often refer to it as the ‘jewel of the Adriatic.’ It is a popular stop on eastern Mediterranean cruises because of its ancient architecture much of which dates back to the 13th century.
Dubrovnik, a city in Croatia, is also a popular stop on eastern Mediterranean cruises. It is a city that has been around from the 13th century and because it’s located in the southern region of Croatia, Dubrovnik has a gorgeous, sunny climate. The arts, culture, summer festivals, and museums are some of the great reasons to visit Dubrovnik
Greece is an especially popular stop on an eastern Mediterranean cruise. A trip through Greece will introduce you to many of the important areas involved in the development of western civilization. You’ll be able to experience everything from a modern, busy city in Athens to the ancient city of Olympus where the Olympics were born. Cruises

which travel through Greece will most likely stop in the cities of Athens, Olympia, or Piraeus. Each of these cities contain ancient ruins, monuments, and architecture that are well worth exploring. In Athens you can visit the Acropolis. In Olympia you can explore the area where the Olympic Games originated. In Piraeus you can view the beautiful natural wonders such as three gorgeous harbours.

Malta is another popular stop for eastern Mediterranean cruises. In Malta you will discover an amazing mix of culture and natural beauty. The island of Malta has historical sites that go back over 7,000 years. It is also host to beaches, spas, and a multitude of water sports.

Top 10 things to do onboard Part 1
10
VISIT US AT: www.jetlinecruise.com
This is the first in a series of 3 articles in which we feature a couple of essential top 10 lists over the coming months. This first one is a rather cheeky look at things to do on board to get your taste buds going. These are written with tongue in cheek and present things for you to have a laugh at or to do on board that you may not have though of or have thought of but have never said!
1 Attend the sailaway parties with a camera! Many people miss out on this as they are busy acquainting themselves with the ship, unpacking and getting ready for dinner on the first night. Definitely leave these things till later. This is a great way to check out your fellow cruisers, spot the likely characters of the cruise and meet people. Ask them to take a picture of you and offer to take pictures for others. As the band strikes up and the party atmosphere gets going - try out the cocktail of the day. Sail away photos can be very picturesque with the wake of the ship and the setting sun plus they are a good measure of what you looked like at the start of the cruise!!! 2 Have a Pre-breakfast in bed every morning This is an absolute luxury and a great way to wake up in the morning. Fill out your room service card before you go to bed at night and hang it outside your door (room service is usually at no extra cost). Even if you plan to have breakfast in one of the main restaurants – perhaps just order a cup of tea. As we all know there is nothing like a cup of tea in bed! 3 Make use of the spa You don’t have to book treatments to use the facilities of the spa but there is usually an entrance charge. Instead of booking daily you can book a spa pass for the length of your cruise to save money on the daily entrance fee. As the entrance fee keeps the crowds away - it is usually a quiet relaxing place. This is well worth it particularly if you want a tranquil wallow in the thermal pool, read a book or maybe do suduko in peace & quite on a lounger in a fluffy bathrobe. Perhaps use the sauna, steam room or have one of those invigorating showers. 4 Have a cocktail at sunset in a hot tub Ahhh - Only on a cruise!!! As your fellow cruisers are running off back to their cabins to get ready for dinner - chill out and head for the hot tub by the pool instead. Try out another of those cocktails of the day and watch the sunset for a relaxed start to an unhurried evening. 5 Try out every bar! This can be fun as an unofficial bar crawl. On many ships it is a challenge with up to 20 bars onboard. This is for a bit of lively entertainment in the evening if you don’t fancy the show - plus you have not got far to go home !!! 6 Have formal photo’s taken! This is great for filling up spare moments during the cruise and can be rather hilarious. Photographers around the ship will offer to take your picture before dinner when you are dressed in your finery with no obligation to buy. There are usually an ever changing variety of back drops

to choose from - a fake New York city skyline or Titanic grand staircase or huge picture of the ship to an ornate flower display or simply a white canvas. This then gives you an excuse to seek out your picture in the photo gallery (or rogues gallery as we call it). In so doing you can see everyone else’s picture which is a great talking point. You might spot who is travelling who and have a giggle some pictures that have not turned out quite right. Play spot the bad ones - perhaps a grimace at the wrong time or the top of a palm tree sticking out of someone’s head from the back drop behind.
hair down. By this time of the night people are much more relaxed and it’s a great way to make friends. Similarly on the last night of the cruise the nightclub tends to be virtually empty as everyone has packed and are getting ready to depart early the following morning. So the penultimate night of the cruise is when things really get going – inhibitions are thrown aside, the dad dancing is hilarious, requests for popular tunes are in abundance and it’s the prefect way to celebrate an enjoyable cruise.
7 Have Breakfast & Lunch in the Main Restaurant Many people prefer to limit the formality of the main restaurant to dinner only - choosing to have breakfast and lunch in the casual buffet restaurants and cafes. Because of this the main restaurants are not as busy as they normally are for Dinner and the atmosphere is surprisingly tranquil. During breakfast and lunch the main restaurants have open seating where breakfast is cooked to order and the choice of menu at lunch time is excellent. 8 Gatecrash Cocktail Parties This one is a bit naughty – but if you have ever attended a cocktail party on board ask yourself: ”How many times have you been asked to see your invitation?” 9 Try out any Free alternative dining venues at night The cruise lines are keen to encourage you to try out their alternative dining venues for dinner instead of the main restaurant. Quite often there is a charge for these of around $20 - $30 per person. It is well worth trying them out particularly if you have received bonus on board credit. If there is a steakhouse or Asian restaurant on board – definitely go for it. However – there are also FREE alternative evening dining options on many cruise lines which they do not generally advertise. Cruise lines such as Cunard and Celebrity usually convert a part of the self service buffet restaurant in the evening to waiter service with set tables, tablecloths and menus. These are very good and give you even more variety to your evening meal choices on board. 10 Attend the nightclub on the 2nd night and the penultimate night of the cruise Most people are too tired to go the nightclub on the first night of the cruise. But lots are tempted to explore the atmosphere on the 2nd night – however if it’s quiet many do not return. Therefore take the opportunity to be a night owl for once, put your dancing shoes on and let your 11

5 ALASKA CRUISING 9 night cruises aboard MS Zuiderdam ADD ON 2 Extra Nights in Vancouver and Rockies Train from £249pp
Ssshh – Don’t tell everyone !!!
Holland America Lines “Signature of Excellence” really sets them apart from other 5* star premium cruise lines. Their modern fleet of ships have wrap around teak decks, fewer guest on board for more space, an aft pool deck for wonderful sail away vistas, plus tasteful decorations with works of art and fresh flowers throughout. This company oozes service, quality and style – aimed at the more select and discerning cruiser. They also have some of the best spas at sea with a wonderful hydro therapy pool and relaxing thermal suite. There is also a theatre, casino, numerous bars, Crows Nest lounge, Explorations Café, children’s clubs and more.
FREE CABIN UPGRADES*
Glacier Bay
Skagway Juneau
Combine all these wonderful onboard amenities with a 7 night cruise on board Holland America Line’s Zuiderdam to visit the natural beauty of the Alaskan coastline and wilderness. View the magnificent glaciers, perhaps spot a whale breaking the surface, relive the gold rush days of the Klondyke and be at one with the unspoilt natural charm of this area. *Ask our sales consultants for prices on higher I grade interior cabins and receive a FREE cabin upgrade to GG grade outside cabins (obstructed view). It seems that many cruise lines have decided to base their ships for Alaskan cruises out of Seattle. The Zuiderdam is one the few operating from Vancouver. This is a wonderful opportunity to visit the Canadian Rockies – our add on package from £249pp includes an extra two days in Vancouver and a day train tour to Whistler and back. Alternatively ask our cruise consultants about longer add on options to Calgary, Banff and even Toronto and Niagara Falls! 9 NIGHT CRUISE: Fly from London direct to Vancouver. 1 night hotel stay.

NEW YORK VOYAGES 9-14 night holidays aboard INCLUDING 2 NIGHTS NEW YORK HOTEL*
Bonus UPTO $220 ON BOARD CREDIT*
FREE UPGRADE FROM OCEANVIEW TO BALCONY CABIN*
Travel in style and make the journey across the Atlantic one of the most pleasurable travel experiences you can do. The great thing about these holidays is that it combines absolute relaxation and escapism with the high energy frenzy of New York – mixing both shopping and sightseeing together. THE SHOPPING: There is no better place to shop than in New York. Prices when converted to £Sterling are much cheaper in the US and there are lots of great stores selling goods which you would not find over here. A pair of trendy Levis would cost on average in the UK around £60 - go to the Levis store on Lexington Ave (opposite Bloomingdales) and you get the pick or every size colour and style imaginable for $50 or £31. Head for 5th Ave and visit Tiffany’s, the huge underground Apple Mac I-pod store, Abercrombie & Fitch and a host of designer stores nearby. For the budget conscious Old Navy on 34th St opposite Macy’s is a must – I can guarantee you will buy at least a t-shirt there. Then of course
there is Macy’s Dept Store just down the road from the Empire State Building and great for lunch! THE SIGHTSEEING: There is so much to see in such a short space of time. We would recommend to use the subway & cover larger distances; an 8 journey card costs just $10 (1 journey could be the whole length of Manhattan or simply a 1 station hop). The following are Must Do: Central Park including the Bethesda Fountain & Strawberry Fields memorial. Have a look at the magnificent interior of Grand Central station. Hop on the subway down to 14th St Union Sq to visit the Flatiron building, then carry on down to the Ground Zero site and Wall Street. Visit Battery Park at the Southern tip of Manhattan and take some photos of the Statue of Liberty. If you have time - hop on a boat tour via the Statue of Liberty to the museum on Ellis Island. Take the blue AC subway over to Brooklyn and walk back to Manhattan across the Brooklyn Bridge for some incredible photos of the Manhattan Skyline. Visit the Empire State Building at sunset for magnificent views across the city as the lights twinkle on. Finally visit Times Square at night before seeing a show on Broadway. Eastbound: Fly direct to New York. 2 Night Hotel stay. 7 Night Voyage back to Southampton
ew York Enjoy shopping in N 16
Westbound: Sail for 6 nights from Southampton to New York. 2 Night Hotel stay. Fly direct back to London overnight. NO FLYING: Combine both itineraries together giving you the day to shop and sightsee in New York without flying.

MEDITERRANEAN ADVENTURE 7 night fly cruises aboard Adventure of the Seas BONUS UPTO $100 ON BOARD CREDIT*
UNUSUAL 7 NIGHT MED ITINERARY
The Voyager class ships where revolutionary for their size and amazing variety of things to do on board. These 5 sister ships paved the way for the big selling ships of today such as Independence and Oasis of the Seas. The Adventure of the Seas was the third Voyager class ship to be built and 2010 is the first year she will be based in Europe away from her home port in the Caribbean. The things we love about this ship are: the Royal Promenade mall area where there is a lovely FREE coffee shop / patisserie to sit and watch the world go by or the Dog & Duck British Pub to make you feel at home. The Schooner Bar is a trade mark on the Royal Caribbean ships and attracts a busy crowd. The kids clubs on board and video games arcade are second to none and the adults only atrium pool is excellent. This unusual 7 night itinerary is one of the few which starts from Malaga and gives those of you who would fly from regional airports better direct flight connections.

FREE CABIN UPGRADE*
This cruise is now our best selling cruise for the Med next Summer. Back in September we held an allocation of cabins on selected dates at low introductory prices and we still have a small number of cabins left to sell. 6 things make this a great deal: • The price starting from just £999 for 15 nights • Bonus on board Credit of upto $150 per cabin* • Bonus Mystery gift* – revealed once a booking is made • An overnight hotel stay in Venice • The cruise itinerary to the Greek Islands • Freestyle Cruising. Not only is this our best selling cruise it is also one of our favourite cruise itineraries in the Mediterranean cruising from our favourite port. A short flight takes you to romantic and extremely picturesque Venice; which has one of the best city sailaways in the Med - as the ship glides past Saint Marks Square on its way out to sea. This mixed with the charm and varied beauty of the Greek islands makes a perfect Summer cruise. We always feel it is a shame to sail from Venice and not actually stay there; so with this offer we have included an overnight hotel stay. We have chosen 3 star hotels close to Saint Marks Square that are within easy strolling distance of all the historical sights and the Rialto Bridge. This area is also well connected by the relatively inexpensive water bus which also operates a service to the cruise terminal.

2010 TRANSATLANTIC BARGAIN 17 night fly-cruise aboard MSC Poesia Add on extra nights in Fort Lauderdale from only £59pp
Cruise from the US to the UK
3 Holidays in 1
We have chosen this itinerary as it represents several holidays in one and gives you the opportunity to visit Florida, shop in New York and explore the Azores which does not feature very often on a cruise itinerary. This MSC Poesia cruise from Florida to Dover also has the added benefit of ending in Dover back home to familiar shores. The great thing about this cruise is you can enjoy your holiday more and shop like crazy; with no overnight flight home there are no luggage and weight restrictions. The 90,000 tonne MSC Poesia is only a year old and having sailed on this ship we were impressed with the range of facilities and the intriguing décor. The MSC Poesia seems to flow very well in so far that it is easy to find your way around with one area leading to another. Her facilities include: 2 swimming pools, 4 whirlpools, 2 pool bars, Kids facilities and splash pool, 4 restaurants, sushi bar, wine bar, 2 large entertainment lounges, theatre, night club, casino, 5 further bars and more. TRANSATLANTIC CRUISE: Fly direct to Miami. Stay overnight in Fort Lauderdale. Cruise 16 nights to New York • Ponta Delgada (Azores) • Lisbon (overnight on board) • La Coruna (Spain) • Bilbao • Dover.

FORT LAUDERDALE: This is a great alternative to Miami and is known as the Venice of America where the rich and beautiful live with boats moored at the bottom of their tropical gardens. The beach here is white sand stretching as far as the eye can see making the perfect base to explore Fort Lauderdale and it is not far from the port. Shopping is far better here than in Miami. Las Olas Boulevard is the main shopping thoroughfare with boutique style shops, some great bars and restaurants. We recommend the Floridian for sassy diner style breakfast and lunches. The most central shopping Mall is the upmarket La Galleria. This has a Macys, Abercrombie & Fitch, Banana Republic and Pottery Barn among others. The Coral Ridge Mall is well worth a visit for a home wares (Super Target ) and Old Navy the trendy discount clothing arm of GAP. For the largest mall we have ever seen try the Sawgrass Mill about 40 minutes drive from the beach west towards the Everglades. Add on extra nights from £59pp per night.

NORWAY, SCANDINAVIA & RUSSIA 11 night cruises from the UK aboard MSC Opera NO NEED TO FLY CRUISE FROM DOVER
KIDS GO FREE*
FREE CAR PARKING IN DOVER
No need to fly - cruise from Dover. Unlike many Scandinavian cruises the MSC itineraries from Dover tend to sell quickly each year as they are competitively priced compared other cruise lines. With FREE car parking and FREE kids places - these offers are unbeatable. We particularly like these itineraries as all three of include Amsterdam which is sadly not included on many Northern Europe itineraries. AMSTERDAM: The heart of Amsterdam is only a 5-10 minute walk from the cruise terminal. Amsterdam city centre is contained within a series of interconnected concentric canal rings and so its great to explore the city by boat. Whilst in Amsterdam you must visit the red light district (of course just for a topic of conversation on your cruise), Anne Frank House, Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum and the Magere Brug for an iconic shot of the double leaf Dutch draw bridge connecting both sides of the River Amstel. The MSC Opera is a friendly ship at just under 60,000 tonnes with a good range of facilities including several entertainment lounges, theatre, casino, spa, 2 swimming pools, 3 restaurants and even an English pub. After several years of operating cruise from Dover MSC have enhanced the choice of food on board to specifically to cater for the UK market.

Get the most out of your precious holiday time & combine a visit to Las Vegas on the way to your Hawaiian Islands cruise. This was one of our best selling offers last year as it includes 3 nights in Las Vegas on the famous Strip before you cruise. Check out the casinos, headline shows, themed hotels and the shopping. Perhaps even visit the Grand Canyon. Then fly direct to Los Angeles on the morning of your 14 night cruise. For many forty somethings Hawaii initially conjures up images of Magnum PI and red Ferraris. For Fifty somethings Steve Garret and Hawaii Five O are frantically canoeing though the surf, whilst sixty somethings may think of Elvis in his film Blue Hawaii and Rockahula. Most though think of exotic Hula girls, Lei Garlands, swaying palms and magnificent sunsets. Perhaps visit Pearl Harbour and the Arizona monument and take a stroll along Waikiki beach on Oahu. Visit the pineapple plantations of Maui, the Wailua Falls and Nawiliwili harbour of Kauai and a Volcano adventure on the Big Island. Or simply have a Luau – an Hawaiian version of a BBQ but much more colourful and fun!
