Holland America Line’s 2012 Mediterranean season

2012-02-13T15:31:00.000-08:00

Holland America Line’s 2012 Mediterranean season to feature a grand voyage, guest chefs and maiden calls

Monday, 13 February 2012

Segments of the Grand Mediterranean & Black Sea Voyage Available

Holland America Line’s 2012 Mediterranean season features an extensive selection of itineraries ranging from seven to 42 days, as well as an exciting 62-day Grand Mediterranean and Black Sea Voyage aboard the intimate ms Prinsendam.

Six of the line’s other ships — ms Eurodam, ms Nieuw Amsterdam, ms Noordam, ms Rotterdam, ms Maasdam and ms Ryndam — also will sail the region on 32 different itineraries that span the eastern and western Mediterranean. Celebrated guest chefs will enhance select cruises as part of the Culinary Arts Centre program, performing cooking demonstrations for guests in the ship’s state-of-the-art show kitchen, conducting tastings and participating in question-and-answer sessions.

“The Mediterranean has it all — from top-rated beaches and incredible architecture to historical landmarks and a long history,” said Richard Meadows, executive vice president, marketing, sales and guest programs for Holland America Line. “Whether it’s a shorter cruise or a Grand Voyage, by offering one of the most extensive itinerary selections of any cruise line, we enable guests to take their dream cruise.”

Grand Mediterranean and Black Sea Voyage
A highlight of the Med season comes this spring when ms Prinsendam, the line’s smallest and most intimate ship -- just 835 guests, departs Fort Lauderdale, Florida, March 12, 2012, on its roundtrip 62-day Grand Mediterranean and Black Sea Voyage. Visiting 32 ports in 14 countries, the itinerary includes maiden calls at Durrës, Albania’s second-largest city and one of Europe’s oldest cities; Saint Raphaél in the Côte d'Azur region of France, and Castellón de la Plana in the Costa del Azahar region of Spain.

Overnight stays in Seville, Spain; Kusadasi (Ephesus) and Istanbul, Turkey; Piraeus (Athens), Greece; Venice, Italy; Barcelona, Spain, and Lisbon, Portugal, provide guests with more time for exploring of some of the world’s most interesting destinations.

The Grand Voyage also offers grand experiences on board. Guests can relax and unwind during leisurely days at sea, taking advantage of the extra time to read a book, indulge in a massage at the Greenhouse Spa or watch a movie in the theatre. Sommelier and Wine Educator Charlie Arturaola will be on board from March 21 – April 3 as part of the Culinary Arts Centre program. Brian Archibald, executive sous chef of Camelback Inn, a JW Marriott Resort and Spa in Scottsdale, Arizona, also will sail from April 18 – 30.

Evening activities shine on board as well with local cultural entertainment and special guest headliners, while festive gala balls and formal nights create memorable moments. Dining is elevated to a new level on each Grand Voyage, featuring local ingredients and regional cuisine from all corners of Europe.

For those with less time, 11 segments are available ranging from 16 to 41 days and start at AU$2,199 per person.

2012 Mediterranean Voyages
A highlight of the season is a 20-day Mediterranean Medley cruise departing July 21, sailing roundtrip from Dover, England, or Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on ms Ryndam. Guests can explore ports throughout Italy, Portugal, Spain and Monaco on this adventure.

Additional itineraries include three 12-day sailings on ms Nieuw Amsterdam that explore Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Montenegro and Croatia. Guests looking for a longer voyage can combine the two itineraries to create a 24-day Collectors’ Voyage.

A series of two 10-day itineraries on ms Noordam can be combined to form a 20-day Collectors’ Voyage, with calls at ports in Italy, Monaco, Spain, Tunisia, Croatia, Greece and Turkey.

The new 17-day Spanish Rhapsody sailing roundtrip Rotterdam onboard ms Rotterdam offers guests the opportunity to explore the best of what Spain has to offer in addition to ports in both Portugal and Italy.

Fares for a seven-day Mediterranean voyage start at just AU$849 per person, double occupancy.

Select Mediterranean cruises also feature a guest chef on board:

Ken Oringer, executive chef/co-owner of Kenneth Oringer and Clio restaurants in Boston, Massetusses, sails on ms Nieuw Amsterdam’s 12-day Mediterranean Empires cruise June 5.
Kevin Sbraga, executive chef and owner of Sbraga restaurant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and US cable channel Bravo's “Top Chef” season seven winner, sails on ms Noordam July 17 in the Mediterranean.
Giuliano Hazan, author of “Cooking Italian With Giuliano” and International Association of Culinary Professionals Cooking Teacher of the Year, sailson ms Rotterdam’s 17-day Moorish Empires cruise Sept. 29.
Timon Balloo, executive chef of Sugarcane Raw Bar Grill in Miami, Florida, sails on ms Noordam's 7-day Riviera Romance cruise Oct. 15.

A new Spirit emerges for Australia

2012-02-09T17:21:00.000-08:00

Carnival Spirit has emerged
from her two week drydock
sporting seven million dollars
worth of upgrades, ahead of
her arrival in Sydney this year.
KEY upgrades to Spirit included a revamping
of her Serenity area, one of the largest childfree
adult retreats on the ship, which includes
an open-air deck with pool, heated spa,
hammoks, plush lounges and a cocktail bar
offering a special daily selection of drinks.
The drydock also included $450,000 in
upgrades to Spirit’s fitness centre with new
cardio and strength training equipment, as
well as a Jacuzzi under a giant skylight; and the
creation of the child-magnet Splash Zone,
which includes the Power Drencher, a massive
tipping bucket that fills up with hundreds of
litres of water, then tips and soaks all
underneath it.
New carpets were also laid through all public
areas and in cabins, plus Spirit was also treated
to a new coat of paint on her interior and
exterior, whilst cabins scored new flat-screen TVs.
Most notably, Spirit’s star attraction, the
world’s steepest and fastest waterslide at sea,
Green Thunder was also installed, and was
broken in on the vessel’s debut Hawaiian
cruise post-makeover.

Sydney Festival of Cruising

2012-02-02T21:03:00.001-08:00

Harbour Comes Alive with the ‘Sydney Festival of Cruising’ to Underline Cruising’s Economic Contribution

In a resounding confirmation of cruise season’s contribution as a major economic event, Sydney is set to host the month-long Festival of Cruising with a record 26 ships making an unprecedented 33 visits during February alone.

Five more ships will visit for the festival than in February last year – the previous busiest cruise ship month on record in Sydney – with each ship visit representing a special event in its own right.

So many cruise ships are visiting that several will moor mid-harbour before ferrying passengers ashore to enjoy the many attractions of the harbour city.

Highlights of the Festival of Cruising include the Valentine’s Day arrival of Cunard’s 151,400-tonne flagship, Queen Mary 2 and sister ship Queen Elizabeth’s visit on February 28 for an overnight stay.

Other festival high points include the arrival of the UK-based P&O Cruises ships Aurora, on February 17, and Oriana on February 23 for a special celebration of P&O’s 175th anniversary.

Ann Sherry, CEO of Carnival Australia, which represents 13 of the visiting cruise ships, said the Festival of Cruising emphasised cruising’s contribution as the standout success of the Australian tourism sector.

"The Festival of Cruising underlines the contribution that cruise ships make to the local economy," Ms Sherry said.

"Analysis we commissioned from Deloitte Access Economics shows cruise passengers, crew and cruise ship operators spent a combined $400 million in Sydney in 2010-2011 alone.

"Their combined spending is expected to increase to $1.3 billion by 2019-2020 as the economic contribution of cruising continues to grow.

"Passenger ships are also a vital part of Sydney Harbour’s maritime heritage and while our ships will visit ports around Australia during the Festival of Cruising, Sydney remains the Australian gateway for visiting ships."

Commenting on the Festival of Cruising, NSW Minister for Tourism and Major Events, George Souris, said the importance of the cruise industry to Sydney and NSW could not be understated.

"It continues to make a valuable contribution to the State’s economy and is an important factor that has helped the NSW Government develop its strategy to double expenditure by visitors to NSW by 2020," Mr Souris said.

"Cruising is certainly one of the most exciting segments in the leisure market, with continuing strong growth prospects as the record number of liners arriving in the harbour city indicates.

"Sydney’s performance in recent years has helped make Australia one of the world’s fastest growing cruise markets with 157 ship calls to Sydney in 2010-2011 and 210 calls forecast for 2011-2012 with 246 scheduled for 2012-2013. Sydney is recognised by the international cruise industry as one of the most attractive harbour approaches in the world."

The 13 ships visiting from across Carnival Australia’s fleets include P&O Cruises’ Pacific Jewel, Pacific Pearl and Pacific Sun; Cunard Line’s Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth; Princess Cruises’ Sea Princess, Diamond Princess and Pacific Princess; P&O Cruises World Cruising ships Oriana and Aurora; Seabourn’s Odyssey and Holland America’s Amsterdam and Volendam.

Confidence in the Flying Kangaroo

2011-11-01T02:44:00.000-07:00

After what has been a bizarre series of events over the past few days, how many of us will go back to flying with Qantas. It is an icon of Australia and therefore does it deserve the respect it is entitled to. Or are we people who can forgive but not forget. I guess if you asked the 59 passengers that missed their Cruise of a lifettime because of the grounding of the flights, or the Businessman which was in the his plane, taxing out ready to go, but to be told we are not flying today. It took him an extra 3 days to get home to his young family. I would suggest they will not either forgive or forget.
Whatever direct Alan Joyce decides to take Qantas into the future. He and the Unions have managed to do significant damage to what is an Aussie institution like "VB"and "The MCG"

Cruising as a Solo Passenger

2011-10-24T23:42:00.000-07:00

Cruising as a solo passenger
Exploring the world solo can result in
some of the most memorable experiences
and adventures, so here’s a few tips to help
you navigate going it alone.
• Travelling solo can be expensive, as cruise
lines charge up to 200% for solo travellers to
make up for revenue they loose by not
having an extra person buying drinks and
shopping onboard. But there is hope, some
cruise lines including Norwegian Cruise Line,
Fred Olsen Cruises and Costa Cruises have
specially designed single cabins, which are
generally priced for solo passengers and
don’t incur the massive mark-ups.
• Cunard, Holland America Line (HAL),
Silversea, Silversea and Crystal Cruises all
offer the services of a dancing partner for
solo cruisers, whilst generally HAL and
Silversea will also host a solo traveller
cocktail party during the voyage.
• Look for voyages which include onboard
activities such as food demonstrations that
make it easy to meet people, but don’t
require you to bring a friend

Frequently Asked Questions

Holidays are here and we look forward to seeing you on board. But before you arrive, here are some quick answers to popular questions, at a glance.

Documents, flights and insurance

Passports, visas and vaccinations are your responsibility. Without the necessary passport, visas and/or vaccinations, local authorities may deny you boarding, prevent you from going ashore, issue a fine or deny the ship entry into the port.

For international cruises (cruises that visit a foreign port), passports are required for all passengers and must be valid for a minimum of 6 months beyond the date of the cruise return. In addition, travel on our cruises will not revalidate an Australian or New Zealand re-entry visa.

For domestic cruises (cruises that do not visit a foreign port), a valid passport or government issued photo identification is required (Queensland Proof of Age cards will not be accepted). For Australian passengers, a current Medicare card can be used for passengers under 18 years of age. For New Zealand passengers, an original or certified copy of the child’s birth certificate or a school pass with photo will be accepted.

Please check with the relevant embassies about your visa requirements.

Do I need travel insurance?

Australian Medicare, New Zealand ACC and private health insurance will not cover you for any medical costs on board. All cruises (even cruises that do not visit foreign ports) require international travel insurance. We strongly recommend you organise your travel insurance at the time you pay your deposit.

You should not base your insurance decision on the assumption ‘it won’t happen to me’ – accidents or illness can happen to anyone. Daily hospital bills can cost more than AUD5000 per day. For further information or to purchase travel insurance visit EseaCruising.com's Travel Insurance site and receive 20% off your travel insurance! CLICK HERE

What if I have connecting flights?

Please ensure your flight arrives no later than 4 hours before your cruise departure time. On return, ensure your flight departs no earlier than 5 hours after your cruise arrives in port. This should help you have a relaxing cruise holiday.

Can I book my flights with you?

Yes you sure can - flights can be booked at our sister site EseaShores.com.

Can my family and friends farewell me?

They're welcome to wish you bon voyage from the cruise terminal. Due to security reasons, they will be unable to come on board with you.

Where can I find more information about passports, visas and vaccinations?

Passports

Australian citizens, visit www.passports.gov.au

New Zealand citizens, visit www.passports.govt.nz

For citizens of other countries, please contact your relevant national authority.

Visas

Please contact your Travel Agent, relevant consulate or embassy or an online visa service for more information.

Vaccinations

Please contact your doctor or an approved public health travel advisory service such as the World Health Organisation (www.who.org), the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or Smart Traveller (www.smartraveller.gov.au).

If I am booking my own flights, what arrival and departure times do you recommend?

Please ensure your flight arrives no later than 4 hours before your cruise departure time. This should provide enough time to travel to the cruise terminal and check-in for your holiday of a lifetime.

If you are flying home on the day you leave the cruise, please ensure your flight departs no earlier than 5 hours after your cruise arrives in port. This should help you to have a stress free return home from your relaxing cruise holiday.

When you are making your own flight bookings, missed connections are always a possibility…so the more time you allow for unforeseen delays at either end of your cruise, the better.

If you do need to make changes to your own flight bookings, your chosen airline may charge fees, so check their airfare conditions when you book.

I have flights booked through P&O Cruises; can I check-in online?

No, since you are not issued with an individual flight reference number, you are unable to check-in online.

IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE ESEACRUISING.COM TEAM:

2011-02-02T05:13:00.000-08:00

Last Friday we sent everyone a quick email about how EseaCruising.com's Charity initiative Cruising For a Good Cause was supporting the local Queensland Tourism after the Floods.
The Team @ EseaCruising.com would like to say a special thank you to some of our very very loyal, dedicated and kind clients. The offer we sent out was proven to be popular. Over the weekend our team had to worked additional hours to fulfill the reservations and as of yesterday it was officially sold out.

We understand that many consumers have choice, choice in which ship to cruise and more importantly a choice in which travel agency to book with.
Without a doubt a limited number of subscribers part of our database often read up about the great deals we offer and take the information elsewhere to receive various quotes and price matches.

But the response to the 2 night Brisbane to Sydney cruise was different. It showed us the loyalty and kindness of our dedicated subscribers. Many of you booked and paid immediately - $10 of each confirmed booking was donated to the Queensland Flood Appeal.

Your kindness means a lot to the Team @ EseaCruising.com. It encourages and recognizes what makes us different. EseaCruising.com’s Cruising For a Good Cause initiative is our contribution to society as our business grows. We realize that our business is driven by the greater community and at times of need, we firmly believe in giving back. Like all relationships, it goes both ways.

The Cruising For a Good Cause initiative not only signifies the social consciousness of the greater EseaCruising.com brand, but the meaningful relationship we share with our clients. Together, we are building a better tomorrow for our community - locally and internationally.

Finally, we recognize that you have choices in who you book with, but we thank every one of you who reserved the 2 Night Brisbane to Sydney cruise with EseaCruising.com. Together, we have made a difference for many local Queenslanders and our team looks forward to supporting other meaningful causes with our clients.

In this edition we have featured Cruising For a Good Cause in our Cruising Spotlight and please feel free to contact us if you have any particular suggestions or causes you wish to see us support.

Thank you once again and we look forward to offering our clients more opportunities to cruise for a good cause.

Happy Cruising!

Carnival Spirit the Largest Cruise Ship to Call Australia Home

2011-01-19T14:58:00.000-08:00

In a major boost for the tourism industry, the world’s largest cruise line – Carnival Cruise Lines – has announced that it will base one of its cruise ships fulltime in Australia.

The 88,500 tonne Carnival Spirit will be the largest cruise ship ever to sail year round from Australia when she arrives in Sydney in October 2012 to operate a schedule of 8-12 day voyages to the Pacific Islands.

The move – announced globally in Sydney today – represents the first time Carnival Cruise Lines has ever ventured into Australian waters and reflects growing confidence in cruising in the region.

Carrying 2,667 passengers, Carnival Spirit will be the first ship to be based in Sydney year round that is too tall to sail under the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Rising nearly 53 metres above the waterline, Carnival Spirit is more than three metres taller than the specified clearance height for ships passing under the Bridge. Because of its height, Carnival Spirit will be based at the only cruise facility east of the Harbour Bridge, Circular Quay’s Overseas Passenger Terminal.

Founded in 1972 and based in Miami, Carnival Cruise Lines is the best known cruise brand in North America and is expected to carry more than four million passengers this year – the most in the global cruise industry.

As the largest cruise ship sailing from Australia year round, Carnival Spirit offers a wide range of onboard facilities and features, with approximately two-thirds of its cabins featuring private balconies – the most of any Australian-based ship.

Aimed at fun-loving Australians seeking vibrant, active holidays with a broad diversity of on-board choices, Carnival Spirit offers a host of areas for outdoor fun, including a 22 metre corkscrew water slide, four swimming pools, a miniature golf course, jogging track and a sport court. Guests have their choice of 16 lounges and bars, including a 1,170-seat three-deck-high theatre. In addition to a two-level main dining room, Carnival Spirit features a reservations-only steakhouse and an expansive casual poolside restaurant. The ship also houses a two-level health spa with wrap-around ocean views and an Internet café.

Ann Sherry, CEO of Carnival Australia, which represents Carnival Cruise Lines’ Australian deployment locally, said the cruise line’s move into Australia was testament to both the recent growth and the ongoing potential of the local cruise industry.

“Cruising is booming in this country because it offers passengers a great value holiday that includes accommodation, top quality food and loads of entertainment that appeal to all age groups,” Ms Sherry said.

Gerry Cahill, Carnival Cruise Lines’ President and CEO, said the cruise line was looking forward to introducing its unique style of cruising to the Australian market.

“Carnival has become the most popular cruise choice among North Americans by offering an experience that is casual, friendly and fun with a wide variety of activities for guests of all ages, including a huge array of options on our expansive outdoor decks,” Mr Cahill said.

Carnival Spirit will offer a year round schedule of 8 to 12-day cruises to the Pacific Islands and a selection of 13-day sailings to New Zealand beginning October 25, 2012, with the program expected to go on sale by the middle of this year. The shipboard experience will be tailored to the Australian market with onboard spending in Australian dollars and no tipping required.

Ms Sherry said while the primary market would be Australians and New Zealanders, Carnival’s strong brand recognition in the United States would play a role in attracting more US tourists to Australia.

Carnival Spirit’s deployment meant there would be seven Carnival Corporation & plc ships cruising fulltime from Australia by the end of 2012, ensuring the industry was well on its way to reaching its target of one million passengers by 2020, if not sooner, she said. Other Carnival Corporation & plc brands operating fulltime in Australia include P&O Cruises and Princess Cruises.

“It is amazing growth considering there were just two ships based in Australia year round in 2007,” Ms Sherry said.

“This really underscores Sydney’s position on the world cruise map and our resolve to keep growing the market with multiple brands that appeal to customers.”

Excuses for Taking a Floating Holiday

2010-11-27T21:25:00.000-08:00

Did you need some GOOD Excuses for Taking a Floating Holiday?

1. I'm saving the environment. Where else can you find everything you could possibly want to do, see, hear, and eat all in one place? Take all-inclusive South Pacific cruises, for example. You'll never have to get into a carbon-emitting car to go to the casino, to the gym, to get your hair done, or out for a night of dancing. When you get to your destination, you'll find sunshine, sand and surf from the first moment you step off the ship.

2. I like saving money on a holiday package. Think floating holidays are expensive? Think again! There are discount cruises available to just about every destination you can imagine. You can increase your odds of finding discount cruises if you aren't picky about destination, and if you are flexible when it comes to travel dates.

3. I don't mind showing my age. Age is beauty, and sometimes age is savings too. There are many cruise deals available to seniors with Royal Caribbean. So if you're over 55, don't hide your age, use it to your advantage!

4. I enjoy mixing pleasure with pleasure. You can book a cruise holiday that combines the fun and relaxation of cruising with your favorite hobby. There are cruises for scrapbookers, antiques lovers, golf enthusiasts, bridge and chess players, and more. Imagine enjoying all of the perks that cruising offers: dancing, dining, swimming and gaming, plus engaging in your favorite leisure activity.

5. Cultural exposure is important to me. There are ships sailing all over the world. No matter what culture tickles your fancy, there's probably a boat sailing in that direction. Are you drawn to the South Pacific Islands? Asia or the Mediterranean? Do you prefer the tropics? Try a Hawaiian island cruise. Do you want to explore the rugged beauty of the mountains? An Alaskan holiday cruise might be just right for you. Besides diverse destinations, you can even get a taste of culture right onboard ship. Sample cuisine from several countries. See shows featuring dance styles from different continents. Plus, you'll meet people from all over the world.

6. I think it's important to see how "the other half" lives at least once in a lifetime. Where else can you go on holiday and have absolutely everything done for you? Imagine no cooking, no cleaning, no curfew and no demanding schedules. You do whatever you want, whenever you want. You'll never run out of things to do. Or you can do nothing at all.
Now that you have some good excuses to take a cruise, it will be much harder to find an excuse NOT to!

A great way to save money whilst on holidays…

2010-11-09T21:29:00.000-08:00

You have booked the plane tickets, organised your cruise, off-loaded the children, cancelled the papers and the gardener and smugly notified the neighbours that you are about to embark on the holiday of a life time – A long-awaited cruise!

Your furry ‘child’ wonders in with half the garden on their coat and you notice, has traipsed mud through the lounge room. Pooch! What on earth are we going to do with you?? A call to the kennel reveals a cost of $30 PER DAY. That’s at a lot of money not to be spending on you!

www.happyhousesitters.com.au is the answer.

Happy House Sitters are a FREE in-home house and pet sitting service. They cover ALL , no matter where you live. They have a list of 1000’s of house and pet sitters available for you to choose from. IN return for staying in your home rent free, their experienced house and pet sitters will feed, water and play with your pet, as well as do odd jobs around the house (take messages, collect mail, care for lawns and gardens). The biggest advantage though is keeping your home secure by maintaining a presence while you’re away. However, you don’t have to have a pet to get a house sitter. Even if you do not have a pet, our sitters will collect mail and messages, maintain a secure presence in your home. Their house sitters tend to be professional couples saving for their first home, people moving out while doing renovations to their own home or seniors travelling. We can offer this great service to all home and pet owners for free as our costs are covered by sitter’s membership fees.

They are an Australian family owned and run business that has been operating since 1999. Over the last decade and helped thousands of people have a break while saving lots of money, as well as providing peace of mind about their home and pets.

Please call them on 1300 780 809 to discuss your requirements. Alternatively, visit their website to find out more at www.happyhousesitters.com.au/owners/houseown.aspx or join at www.happyhousesitters.com.au and search for a sitter now. It’s a good idea to post your ad as early as possible. However, they have helped a huge number of people find their sitter with only days to go before the ship leaves port.

Happy cruising and happy house sitter hunting!

2010-08-24T20:45:00.000-07:00

EseaCruising.com’s recommendation on how to score a great value last minute cruise deal!

1. Speak to one of our Cruise Specialsit. If you wish to take a last minute cruise, doing so with EseaCruising.com is a good idea we specialist in cruises and only sell cruises therefore we can find you a good price on a cruise package and let you know all of the sailings that are coming up.

2. Check flights! EseaCruising.com offers customers the chance to hold a cruise with NO OBLIGATION for up to 5 days, be sure to take advantage of this policy as last minute cruise deals are so attractive, cabin availability is usually extremely limited. Once you have booked your last minute cruise, check on flight availability. If you struggle to find the right flights, visit our sister website www.EseaShores.com for a range of pre/post cruise arrangements such as Flights, Hotels, Transfers and Day Tours.

3. Reserve your shore excursions as well. When you book your cruise last minute, reserve your shore excursions at that time to make sure that there is still available space.

4. Read all our HOT DEAL ALERTS – from time to time we send our HOT DEAL ALERTS be sure you read about them as soon as you receive them to avoid disappointment.

5. Learn about peak cruise seasons. Avoid booking your last minute cruise during the high season. Most cruise lines advertise their highest prices during peak cruise season, which is usually the summer months. By booking early, you could save a considerable amount of money on your trip with various cruise lines offering Early Bird Sales.
When Last Minute Cruising is not a good idea:

Last minute bookings for cruises are available for most cruise lines through EseaCruising.com If you are very particular about the type of sailing you are willing to pay for, then waiting until the last minute may not be a good option for you. Popular annual sailings such as the Cherry Blossom Cruise, Melbourne Cup Cruise, Christmas and New Years cruise is often sold out well in advance.
There may be limited cabin options available at the last minute. You may also have limited options in terms of onboard reservations. In some situations, you may simply be unable to book your cruise because you need to wait for a valid passport. Take into consideration whether waiting until the last minute is right for your situation.

Travelling with Children – due to safety regulations child spaces are limited onboard a cruise, so if you are travelling with children it is best to book well in advance to secure the child spaces onboard the cruise.
Holidaying with P&O Cruises is even more exciting with fantastic last minute cruises. If you’re flexible with time and departure ports then a last minute cruise may just be the right choice for your next holiday!

Eseashores, The Pre and Post Cruise Specialist

2010-08-03T20:17:00.000-07:00

When do you want to truly start enjoying your cruise? Do you want to start enjoying a day or two days after you begin the cruise and just stay in the cabin and sleep the first couple of days? This does not sound like a fun cruise. In fact it sounds as if there is no change from your everyday life at home. You want to start enjoying that cruise the moment you unpack. To do this you have to be alive and alert and ready to rock and roll.

If you have to hurry to get to the ship, that means you have been up early and running through everything in order to get the most out of the time you have to get there. It is even worse if you have to get to a plane to get to your port of embarkation. By the time you get there you are not only tired, you are stressed and your mood is not one of enjoyment and fun.

If you want to avoid all of this, then go the extra mile and get a place to stay close to your port of embarkation. You can have a relaxed and leisurely dinner, see the sites and get a good night’s sleep. You will wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed ready for fun and games.

The same applies to your trip home after the cruise. Just imagine this; you have had a fun, relaxing and leisurely cruise and now it is time to go home. You frantically pack your bags and try to arrange transportation to either the plane that will take you closer to home, and then the transportation to get you home, or getting transportation to get you home from the ship. This is not easy as there are many people with the same idea and you end up standing in endless lines only to find out there is nothing available, and you will have to wait forever until there is something available.

The same procedure applies here as it did in getting to your ship on time. Make arrangements for a post cruise hotel room and enjoy the day. Watch others stand in line as you go leisurely to your hotel for dinner and a relaxed night’s sleep. That frantic scenario is a great way to lose the relaxed and enjoyable time you had on the cruise. It is as if there was no cruise at all. Post cruise relaxation is an extension of the cruise and your holiday..

You don’t have to do this yourself, with over 100,000 hotels around the world our sister site EseaShores.com will look after all your pre and post cruise needs! Simply visit: www.EseaShores.com or call EseaShores.com on 1300 838 855 (Make sure you quote promotional code: 254802 when prompted to receive exclusive offers!) And best of all? Our Hotel Specialist Consultants are available 24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a week. It’s just that easy and you are off to the best pre cruise, cruise, and post cruise holiday. EseaShores.com has a staff that is knowledgeable in the needs of the traveler before and after they have enjoyed their holiday. How many times have your heard someone say that they had a wonderful holiday but…., and they were referring to getting there and getting home. Don’t be one of those people and call EseaShores.com or visit us online and let them make your holiday special.

Cruise Asia with Costa Cruises

2010-06-23T22:29:00.000-07:00

A very long time ago there was a song that depicted the serenity and relaxation of being on the river and it started out with “Cruising down the river on a Sunday afternoon………” Now that serenity and relaxation can be carried off onto the ocean, on an oceanliner rather than a row boat on the river. We no longer have to cruise only on a Sunday afternoon but for seven or fourteen days.

You can now visit all of the exotic places the Orient has to offer. See the Great Wall of China and marvel at the fact that it is the only structure on planet Earth that can be seen from the moon. See and learn about the mysteries of Tibet and the famed Tibetan monks.

See India and enjoy the aromas of exotic spices that were so coveted in the early days of the explorers. See the beauty of some of the historical structures such as the Taj Mahal.

Wonder at the 7,107 islands of the Philippines stretch from South of China to the Northern most tip of Borneo. The Philippines are a unique culture of more than one hundred different ethnic groups living and flourishing as one country.
