Meet the Jetline team This months edition we are pleased to feature two of our Senior Sales Consultants – Andrew Gow-Smith and Jodie Todd. Below you can find out a little more about them. Hi, I’m Andrew and after graduating from Leeds University many moons ago I’ve been working in the travel industry for the last 10 years. I started at P&O / Princess Cruises working my way through various areas before finally leaving the flights department and taking a year’s sabbatical to Asia and Australasia. I returned back to the UK and met my wonderful wife where I then had the opportunity to work for her family business over in Bangkok as a Sales & Marketing Account Manager. Being located over in South East Asia gave me the opportunity to explore the area in details and can now say with the help of ‘long weekends’ have been great to explore every county in great detail. After retuning from Bangkok I worked for Malaysia Airlines as an Account Manager and was approached by Ian to come and work for Jetline and I have been here for just over and year and a half. I had to jump at the chance at getting back into the Cruise Industry as I remember al the good times and great cruises all over the world I had when I worked at P&O & Princess. Just while you are probably reading this I’m off on my travels again over to South East
Asia to see some family and then over to the USA to Las Vegas, Seattle and cruising on the Golden Princess to Alaska. As you can tell, I love getting away and have just booked to follow the England Cricket Team over Christmas and New Year to South Africa. I’m also lucky enough to say that there are not many places in the world that I have not been to having covered all continents in some detail. Whilst working at Jetline I have been lucky enough to speak to a great bunch of people and can I just say before I forget. A big thank you for all of the letters I‘ve received once you have returned from your cruise. I also must thank the number of you, who have been loyal in returning to Jetline and booking with me once again. As a lot of you on the phone will know I’m very patient and knowledgeable due to my years in the cruise and travel industry and I adopt a friendly and courteous service. Once again, I’d like to thank all of you for your business and please keep on booking with me and I look forward to being of service to every one of you.

Hi I’m Jodie. Those of you who have spoken to me before will notice that I have an accent, this is because I am originally from South Africa to which I travel back to once or twice a year to visit my family. I studied travel and tourism after schooling and then came to London on a two year working holiday, little did I know I would end up meeting my husband to be and end up staying. I came over to the UK in April 2002 and started working at Jetline in June 2002. I have been working for the Jetline Travel Group ever since.

I started at Jetline Travel as a junior sales advisor selling land based package holidays before being made Training Manager. Jetline then opened a second office, Jetline Cruise. I was involved with the training in that office and immediately fell in love with the Cruise Industry. Ian then gave me the opportunity to work in the Cruise Office full time and I grabbed it. I now have excellent cruise
knowledge and have booked thousands of customers on many different cruise lines. My customers will always receive friendly, honest, professional and efficient service and my attention to detail ensures that all my passengers can rest assured that their holidays have been booked with care and have been checked, then double checked to ensure that everything is in order. I now have a loyal client base who book 2 - 3 cruises with me a year, they will all tell you that I have looked after them through all stages - from enquiry to booking to after sales. I would like to thank all those customers for coming back to me for their annual cruise holiday. I look forward to continuing to offer exceptional service to all my loyal customers and lots of new ones too. I look forward to speaking with you.

Cruise Industry News We are now fully in Launch period with nearly all cruise lines 2010 sailings on sale now. This has generated many news stories with innovations, deployments and enhancements to give a better onboard experience. Please find below a selection of the some most important and informative out there such as news of our old furry friend – Basil Brush – boom boom!
Hell’s Kitchen star to host cookery lessons on P&O Cruises Azura Guests sailing on P&O Cruise’s newest ship Azura will have the opportunity to attend private interactive cookery lessons with none other than Hell’s Kitchen TV star Marco Pierre White. The famous TV chef will give lessons to groups of up to eight adult and child passengers in one of the galleys on the ship. Participants will be able to involve themselves in the thought process behind the creation of the dishes and also get to taste the finished meals. “For me it is all about passing on the knowledge I have and about using good ingredients to create simple and flavoursome dishes,” he commented.
Lessons will cost £75 per adult and £35 per child and will be available on cruises departing May 8th, July 3rd and September 25th. The 3,080 passenger Azura will be launches in 2010 and is set to be big, beautiful and very British. Azura will have 18 cabins designed especially for solo travellers – a feature not seen on new ships for many years and indicative of Azura’s aim to appeal to adults looking for a more grown-up British holiday. There will be 11 places to eat, including three specialty restaurants, one of which being an Indian restaurant run by Michelin-starred Atul Kochhar.
Cunard Cruises team up with Tribeca Film Festival Cunard Line have announced they are to sponsor the world documentary competition at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival in New York.

Independence of the Seas to be home ported from Southampton permanently Royal Caribbean is upping the competition of the ex-UK cruise market by deciding to homeport of the world’s three largest ships year-round in the UK for the first time. Independence of the Seas was the first new ship that Royal Caribbean dedicated to the UK in 2007 and will now sail its first ex-UK winter season out of Southampton in 2010. The move indicates the lines confidence in the UK market but does present a further challenge to the reign of P&O Cruises in its Southampton home port. Royal Caribbean’s UK and Ireland vice president and managing director Robin Shaw said: “We are committed to continuing to grow our presence in the British and Irish markets.
“When Independence of the Seas first sailed from the UK, it was one of the best-performing ships in the fleet. The 2009 return of the ship has been equally successful due to the fantastic array of activity, entertainment and facilities onboard, and the enormous support we receive from our trade partners. It is great news that Independence of the Seas will call Southampton home for the long-term and means that we firmly cement our position as one of the leading players in the UK cruise industry.” Independence of the Seas winter 2010-11 programme will add 15 cruises to the UK market and go on sale on 1 June. There will be two itineraries on offer – 11 night Canaries cruises and 18 night Mediterranean cruises.
Princess Cruises Golden Princess begins amazing makeover Princess Cruises Golden Princess has entered dry docks for the beginning of her dramatic makeover to be the most extensive ever undertaken by the cruise line. Golden Princess is set to sail again on May 5 with a multitude of new features, including a new piazza-style atrium, an adults-only Sanctuary, a Movies Under the Stars poolside movie screen and a new Crown Grill steak and seafood restaurant. The new piazza will have an inviting street cafe atmosphere with roving entertainers and two new dining venues. The International Cafe will serve up specialty coffees, fresh baked cookies, pastries, panini sandwiches and tapas. Vines, a wine bar, will offer a selection of more than 30 wines by the glass, plus a selection of seafood, artisan meats and cheeses, and a wine shop where passengers can purchase their favourite bottle. As part of the renovation, Golden Princess will also be fitted with seven new window suites with ocean-view picture windows, a relocated casino on deck 7 which brings it into the ship’s central entertainment area, 10 new balcony suites and two ocean view staterooms will be added in the aft of the ship, replacing the former video arcade.
Basil Brush to star on Ocean Village cruises this summer The most famous fox in the world is set to sail with Ocean Village Holidays this July – none other than Basil Brush will be the latest family favourite to perform an exclusive fun family show on board which will be his first ever season of live shows at sea. Basil will be boarding the original Ocean Village for a summer of sailing around the Western Mediterranean, joining other children’s icons such as Bagpuss and Paddington Bear. The legendary puppet first hit British TV screens back in 1963 and became known for his cheeky jokes and famous ‘Boom boom!’ catchphrase. Guests on board will be able to enjoy live shows in Ocean Village’s Connexions Bar from July onwards and will also be able to have their photo taken with Basil, complete with his trade mark tweed cape, waistcoat and cravat. The performance will take place on all ’Emperors and Espresso’ fly cruises, running for seven days from Palma to Ajaccio on Corsica. According to Travelmole, Gill Haynes, the cruise line’s head of marketing communications, said: “We think parents will be as amused as their children to find Basil on board – his shows make great family entertainment and reach across the generations. “This trio of retro children’s icons is sure to charm the kids and send parents hurtling down memory lane.”

Great Time on Ventura Cruise Dear sir We have just got back from a cruise on Ventura and wanted to write to tell you what a great time we had. We found nothing at all to complain about. The kids loved all the activities on offer for them, which gave us some time for a bit of pampering. Food was great, cabins were just what we asked for and the weather was even great too! Thanks so much for all you did in sorting out the arrangements and getting us such a cheap price. The Cole family

Hi Greg I felt I had to write and say thank you for the terrific cruise holiday you booked for me this year. You did exactly what you said you were going to do, got us an excellent deal which was the cheapest I could find anywhere and everything went through very smoothly which is just how I like it. The ship was truly beautiful and the places we visited were well worth the trip and we can’t wait to book our next cruise up with you. Kind regards Mrs R Waddington

Are you thinking about taking your first cruise? Taking a cruise is the ‘IN thing’ in the holiday world – lots of people take their first cruise in trepidation with lots of misgivings only to find they are not true and wonder why they never cruised before. Many get the bug and end up taking a couple of cruises each year. Cruising is the fastest growing sector of the holiday industry with more than a million people in the United Kingdom taking a cruise each year. Here‘s why:
Myth - CRUISES COST TOO MUCH When asked - most non cruisers expect Caribbean cruises to cost upwards of £1500 per person and Mediterranean cruises to anything from £1000pp. Also many people are not sure what is included in the cost – many think that flights and tax are additional. Here - at Jetline we have been at the leading edge of the cruise industry for the past 10 years bringing to the public new and innovative ways to enjoy a cruise holiday. Our collective expertise and contacts in the cruise industry mean that we can provide amazing offers and great prices which are hard to match elsewhere. We pride ourselves in being the first to find incredible prices, exclusive offers and bespoke packages. Take a look through some of the special offers in this brochure and those shown on the front page of our website and it will quickly become apparent that cruises cost much lower than expected with 7 night Med cruises costing anything from £499pp and 9 night Caribbean cruises costing anything from £699pp. There are also a variety of short break taster cruises starting from just £299pp for 2 nights. These prices include stateroom accommodation, any flights that are required to take you to your port of departure, food virtually 24 hours per day and all port / air tax and fuel surcharges. Also included are the majority of facilities and entertainment on board such as – theatrical shows every nights, nightclubs, variety shows, fitness centre, swimming pools, hot tubs and much more. Plus you will usually find tea and coffee on tap 24 hours a day at no extra charge. Extras may include: tips for the cabin crew, transfers (in the case or our exclusive low cost tailor made cruise holidays), on board drinks that are served to you at the bar and at dinner, speciality restaurants, excursions and any additional service such as massages etc. Myth - Cruises are for old people Cruises were traditionally the realm of the retired – but these days the average age of the cruise passenger is around the mid forties. Gone are the days of sedate cruises sitting in a deck chair under a tartan blanket, dressing up, ball room dancing and perhaps a game of shuffleboard for the energetic. Cruise ships have an incredible range of facilities and are built to appeal to all age groups. Perfect for families with a wide range of children’s clubs and facilities which far surpass the best land based resorts.

Ideal for couples young and old and amazingly satisfying for the most energetic of holiday makers. After all you would not catch grandma in the video games arcade, scuba diving, rock climbing or ice skating … would you ??? Myth - YOU HAVE TO DRESS UP TOO MUCH Pardon – no way. These days you no longer have to dress for dinner every night and jostle for position at the captains table. Some cruise lines even go out of their way to market themselves as informal – one tag line sums it all up – “ The cruise for people who don’t do cruises!”. During a standard 7 day cruise most cruise ships will hold only 2 formal nights in the main restaurant for dinner only. Formal could mean as little as a business suit for the gentlemen and trouser / skirt suit for the ladies. If you did not want to participate you could simply eat in one of the many other places on board. Throughout the day casual attire (as you would wear in any beach resort) is the norm. Myth - CRUISES ARE TOO CONFINED Imagine standing outside a 14 storey office block that is the length of four football pitches. The building towers above you and stretches further than the eye can see with out turning you head. This is the size of typical modern cruise ship above the water line – confined – I don’t think so. Ships are being built bigger and bigger – the average size of ships these days is around 90,0000 tonnes at twice the size of the Titanic. Quite often with so much to see and the different ports of call many people disembark without having seen the whole ship. Indeed many people can’t wait to get back on board when they visit ports of call. CRUISES ARE TOO ORGANISED As with any beach resort hotel there are organised activities – but equally passengers are free to do their own thing: Many cruise ships having dining options at any time, pool areas that have no organised events and at each port of call you do not have to book an organised excursion – you simply get off and do your own thing. Also you can escape the crowds and find quieter parts of the ship and bars to enjoy some solitude if needed. Myth - CRUISES ARE BORING Imagine a hotel with the following : 13 bars, 9 restaurants, 3 swimming pools, 24 hour pizzeria (free), rock climbing wall, ice skating rink, 1400 seat theatre,
mini golf course, in line skating, night club, shopping mall, casino; state of the art panoramic fitness centre, saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, hydro therapy pool, thermal relaxation lounges, sports court, surfing pools, 4 kids clubs., internet café, video arcade, and cinema. Plus when you walk out of your hotel you can visit a different set of beaches, local shops, historical sights and places of interest each day. Ask yourself again … Are cruises boring ??? CRUISES TAKE TOO LONG That’s the point – see more and do more whilst your floating resort cruises between destinations. Avoid travelling time in planes, trains and automobiles and enjoy all your floating resort has to offer as it takes you on to the next destination. Wake up at a different destination each day and take several holidays in one. Myth - CRUISES ARE TOO COMPLICATED You check in as you would a hotel. Drinks and excursions are charged back to your room – as you would in a hotel., the difference being that there is so much more choice on a cruise than the limited facilities of a hotel resort. Everything is as at hand at no extra charge – unlike a hotel. No need to find other places to eat and drink unlike the limited choice at a hotel. No need to work out how far places are and what taxis cost to see different places of interest – unlike a hotel. What could be more simpler than a cruise? PEOPLE GET SEASICK Yes they do – if they are ultra sensitive or crossing the Atlantic in a Force 10. The majority of cruise itineraries are around sheltered waters such as the Med, the Caribbean or the Alaskan coastline. All modern ships have stabilisers on them which reduce the rocking motion and all public areas and passenger accommodations are on decks above the waterline. Quite often passengers do not realise the ship is moving until they look out of the window! If you are ultra sensitive – book a cabin in the middle of the ship on a low deck where any motion is minimal. Seasickness – not an excuse!
...Go on take a leap of faith. Book your cruise and you will be hooked! 7

New website goes live
The Cruise Show was a great success In last months edition we mentioned that we was attending on behalf of P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises, Ocean Village and Cunard the first ever Telegraph Cruise Show. As the first ever show we was not knowing what to expect but all we can say is wow what a turn out. Considering London Underground was only half open we was rammed from the minute the doors opened on Saturday morning until near the end on the Sunday afternoon. We would like to thank all the people who took their time to come and see us and we look forward to being of service to you in future. The winner of the 12 night cruise onboard the Cunard Queen Mary 2 was a Mr. David and Mrs. Michelle Nugent from Essex. We will hopefully be getting a review from them upon their return where they can share how the cruise went. Here is a selection of photos taken on the day.

Destination Focus The Mediterranean

VISIT US AT: www.jetlinecruise.com
Mediterranean cruises are the first choice for many and in cruising terms the area stretches from the Iberian Peninsula east to Turkey and south to North Africa, along the way taking in glorious beaches, Roman ruins and some of the world’s finest cities. There are two ways to cruise the Mediterranean: sailing from the UK or flying in to board a ship. The latter has the benefit of quickness and allows you to do a seven night cruise, whilst cruising from the UK adds at least two sea days in each direction crossing the Bay of Biscay so itineraries are generally 14 nights. are not so concerned with weather but prefer to explore when there are fewer crowds. A Mediterranean cruise holiday is the ideal way to explore the many varied flavours and cultures that the region has to offer, all in one holiday. Everyone will find something to love about cruises in the Med, from the delicious cuisine and the beautiful beaches to the abundance of culture and fantastic shopping opportunities. They are also a great choice for first-time cruisers looking to dip their toe into cruising for their close proximity to the UK and the possibility of shorter durations.
T
he romance of Mediterranean cruises is truly unique and many of those who have been on cruises to this region return time and time again. In this part of the world life moves at a more leisurely pace and you get the opportunity to really enjoy the natural beauty in abundance here. It is a sight-seer’s paradise with beaches, history, culture and scenic delights blending into one magical moment after another.
Highlights have to include stop over’s in Italy, including the ever popular Rome, the captivating Portofino and the mesmerising city of Venice. Corsica is another favourite port of call, with some of the most fantastic beaches in the Mediterranean. Visit the vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Barcelona, the unspoilt charm of Alicante and the stunning Balearic Islands.
There are so many different destinations to explore. From the verdant hills and sweeping promenades of Capri and the Amalfi Coast, the vibrancy and culture rich Barcelona, the awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel in Rome to the captivating spice markets of Marrakech. Some cruises will stay in the west, sailing from Barcelona to the French Riviera, Italy and Tunisia; whilst others in the east cruise from Venice to Athens, Istanbul and the Greek Islands. The delightful thing about Mediterranean cruises is waking to a new scene each morning and being able to enjoy the comfort and amenities of your very own floating resort whilst also being able to explore new ports of call that interest you. The most popular time for Med cruises is from April through to October, however there are ships sailing throughout the year for those that 13

Interview with Stephen Moffet of MSC Cruises Director of Sales - UK & Ireland
1
MSC Cruises has come a long way in the last few years. What do you put this down to? We have invested a lot of time and money in working closely with travel agents and tour operators throughout the country to educate them on our brand and products. Our sales team is on the road every day visiting different agencies and offering training sessions on our latest developments. As a result, we now have more brand exposure in the marketplace, along with a strong base of repeat customers who help to spread the word on MSC Cruises.
2
You are competing in a very competitive area of the market. Why should people go an MSC cruise? We have a unique offering as we are an Italian company with a cosmopolitan mix of passengers, so you really feel as if you are on holiday the minute you step on board one of our ships. Our cruise ships have been built to accommodate passengers of all ages, from young to old. We offer a huge variety - more than 120 - of itineraries. Not only are we the market leader for seven-night cruises in the Med, we sail in the Caribbean, South Africa, North and South America, and Northern Europe - with Dover departures in the summer. And in 2010 we will be sailing from New York for the first time, to Canada.
3
What makes MSC cruises different to the competition?
MSC Cruises has the most modern fleet in the world. We launched our flagship MSC Fantasia in December 2008. The largest ship ever commissioned by a European ship owner, she is joined by her sister ship MSC Splendida in July this year. Along with all our fleet, these ships combine glamour and sophistication with fun and entertainment for all the family. As I said earlier, we sail to Northern Europe from Dover each summer, and include free parking at the port or free airport transfers on request. Or for passengers who want to take the pressure off completely, they can pick up a coach from any National Express pick-up point around the UK to London/Dover – also for free!
6
MSC Cruises recently introduced the 6-star element called MSC Yacht Club. What was the thinking behind this and explain what it involves?
We are family friendly – children up to the age of 18 sail free when sharing their parents’ cabin, which makes MSC Cruises great value for money, and we have a wide range of children’s facilities on board.
4
Currently MSC Cruises is launching at least one ship per year. When do you expect this to slow down? We will continue to develop as long as we see a demand. Cruising remains the fastest-growing sector in the UK travel industry and this growth looks set to continue. The number of UK holiday-makers opting for a cruise is still relatively small, so there is plenty of room in the market for further capacity and expansion.
5
What Is MSC’s long term goal in the UK market and how do you intend achieving it?
We are committed to the UK market and intend to further increase our market share here. Next year we will base MSC Opera in Dover, which offers even more balcony cabins and will sail to Northern Europe. We are adding Helsinki, Finland, to this itinerary, for the first time. We will also continue to work very closely with the travel trade.
14
We recognised that some passengers prefer that something extra on holiday, be it to celebrate a significant occasion, or just for a special treat. Guests who would consider staying in a luxury hotel now have the option to stay in one of our 99 luxury suites with 24-hour butler service on board MSC Fantasia or the new MSC Splendida. MSC Yacht Club offers a ‘ship within a ship’ experience. Guests can use the Top Sail lounge to dine in, or sip a cocktail – selected soft and alcoholic beverages are included in the Yacht Club – and watch the stunning views directly from the bow of the ship, where the Yacht Club is located. They have their own pool area on the top deck, with two whirlpools and a bar that also serves lunch. With private access to two reserved treatment rooms in our fabulous MSC Aurea Spa, guests can relax and pamper themselves in total privacy, while their butler looks after their every need.
7
If you had one sentence to sell MSC Cruises to someone what would it be?
MSC Cruises is a glamorous, cosmopolitan cruise line, that is family-friendly, affordable and with a fantastic fleet and range of itineraries.

Med & Canaries All Inclusive Drinks Cruises SPANISH PARTY STYLE PULLMANTUR CRUISES This relatively unknown cruise line is big in Spain with a huge following for its fleet of ships and charter aircraft for affordable cruise holidays. As we know the Spanish love to party and holiday and this probably the reason why Pullmantur does so well with its ALL INCLUSIVE DRINKS policy on board. In traditional Spanish holiday style these offers represent great value for money and helps you to budget for your holiday. Pullmantur is the Spanish Subsidiary of Royal Caribbean International and benefits from the quality and service associated with them. Plus the older much loved ships from the Royal Caribbean & Celebrity fleet tend to end up under the Pullmantur flag at a much more affordable price. Check out the Sovereign, Empress and Zenith.

At just over 46,000 tonnes the Atlantic Star has a great range of facilities including: 2 swimming pools, 1 kids pool, 1 whirlpool, casino, 2 restaurants, 24 hour pizzeria, buffet grill, show lounge, nightclub, cinema, fitness centre and more.
The Sovereign was a favourite of Royal Caribbean International until last year when they moved the ship over to Spain to boost the fleet of their Spanish Subsidiary – Pullmantur. The Sovereign entered service in 1989 and was revolutionary at the time for its size and design – paving the way for the big ships of today. This recently refurbished ship has a great range of facilities and spacious public areas. At approx 74,000 tonnes - If you like the idea of big American style ships then you will certainly enjoy this one. Having sailed on this ship it will not disappoint.
Fly from Luton to Lisbon. Cruise 7 nights to Gibraltar – Casablanca – Agadir – Lanzarote – Madeira – Lisbon. Fly home.
One last thing to mention about Pullmantur is that English is spoken on board – as well as Spanish.

2010 Summer Cruise offers from £849pp 10-14 night fly-cruises aboard Independence of the Seas • BONUS UP TO $100 per cabin ON BOARD CREDIT • FREE CAR PARKING IN SOUTHAMPTON This is currently the largest ship afloat and one of the most sought after for cruising from the UK without having to fly. This ship has always been marketed primarily to families due to the best children’s facilities afloat including a large fun water park. However – it also makes a great holiday for couples young and old particularly outside of school holidays. One of the best features on this ship is the Royal Promenade; this large indoor ”shopping” thoroughfare is a great place to sit with a cup of tea and watch the world go by. You don’t have to be ultra sporty to get the adrenalin pumping on the Rock Climbing wall and the Flowrider (surfing) is easier than it looks plus incredibly exhilarating. Have a go at Ice skating and a laugh in the Karaoke lounge.

This is our top selling Caribbean cruise for this Winter with prices starting from less than £1000 and combined with an exciting stay in New York. Queen Mary 2 is a true Queen of the seas - when moored next to other ships you will know why (due to her size, classic red, black and white colours). Plus the fact that she is the only true Ocean Liner afloat with her unique deep draft hull. A cruise on board Queen Mary 2 can be as formal or as casual as you like. With so many dining options the choice is yours. The great thing about Cunard and Queen Mary 2 is that the service, quality and choice of fayre seem to be better compared to other ships. If you like a real home away from home then this ship is the one for you with afternoon tea, tea on tap 24 hours a day, great curries, excellent roasts with all the trimmings including mint sauce with your Lamb, crackling on your pork and Yorkshire puddings with your beef. Plus the fish and chips at lunch time in the Golden Lion pub served with mushy peas is incredibly tasty. Because Cunard Line was part of a bygone era of ocean travel, there is a lot of history and sense of celebrity behind the name which you are automatically part of when you take a cruise.

5-16 night cruises aboard Queen Victoria
By the time you would have received this brochure the 2010 programme would have been on sale for a couple of weeks. At the start of April Queen Elizabeth went on sale for Autumn Winter 2010 departures – the Maiden Voyage sold out within 25 minutes and prices increased on all sailings by approx 30% due to high demand. You can see from the Cunard offers for 2009 on the other page what tends to sell late such as Caribbean and Northern European cruises. We feel that shorter duration cruises from the UK tend to sell fast as well as itineraries which include Venice. In 2010 the Queen Mary 2 only has a couple of roundtrip European cruises from Southampton and so these should be popular too. So here is what we believe will be in high demand On Queen Victoria – bearing in mind that Cunard has the policy of increasing prices when demand is high.
QUEEN VICTORIA SELECTION Short Iberia Break: 7 Nights. Southampton – Vigo – Lisbon – Bilbao – Brest – Southampton. May Bank Holiday: 5 Nights.

To make the most of your precious holiday time and the flights to Canada our Complete Canada package brings together the highlights of Canada.

Toronto is known as the New York of Canada; the shops here are incredible ( such as the Eaton centre)and so are the restaurants – don’t miss the Spaghetti Factory. A visit to the CN Tower is a must for panoramic views across the city and across the lake to the distant plumes of Niagara Falls. Your 3 day stay includes a full day sightseeing coach tour to Niagara Falls, included is a trip on the famous Maid of the Mist. There is time to shop and a visit to the observation deck overlooking the mighty whirlpool rapids. Your return to Toronto takes you through picturesque and historic Niagara On the Lake and then onto a Winery.
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 combines the breathtaking colours of the New England coastline and the shopping and delights of New York. Uk-Iceland-New York: A great way to journey across the Atlantic avoiding the flying plus taking in ports of call on the way.

Canada & New England: Fly to New York for overnight hotel stay. Cruise 10 nights to Boston – Halifax – Quebec – Charlottetown – Sydney (Nova Scotia) – New York. Fly home overnight.
