DON’T GO TO EUROPE FOR A WEEK’S CRUISE – GO FOR FOUR

DON'T go all the way to England to take a holiday cruise of just one week, two weeks or even three weeks – go in August of this year and indulge a whole 4-weeks cruising from Dover to Athens by way of France, Spain, Portugal, Corsica, Sardinia, Italy, Sicily, Malta, Montenegro Croatia and Albania.

The 350-passenger small-ship Spirit of Adventure will sail this 21-port cruise on August 19, and if booked through Cruiseco by April 17 a fly, cruise and stay package includes return air and taxes from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, two hotel-nights in London pre-cruise with breakfasts, transfers from hotel to Spirit of Adventure in Dover, the 28-night cruise with all meals and entertainment, two hotel-nights in Athens post-cruise with breakfasts, and onboard gratuities.

And the price – if booked by April 17 – starts from $8881pp twin-share, which represents a saving of 25-per cent over previously advertised… and uniquely even includes a choice of shore excursions at most ports of call. (From Perth the price starts from a slightly-less $8831pp twin-share.)
