Azamara Club Cruises

Today we were lucky to have a visit from AzamaraCruises. Not only did Sonia bring a supply of chocs with her as an Easter gift but she spent time talking about her product and what their ships have to offer.

It was ironic that today I also called a couple of clients of mine who had just returned from a cruise to the Far East travelling from Hong Kong to Singapore.

They had chosen to travel with Azamara because the itinerary suited what they wanted to do, and it was their first cruise with Azamara.

My clients had the most fabulous time and are hoping to travel on many more cruises with them.

Azamara have smaller ships meaning they can get into more ports. Their customers enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere in lavish surroundings that give you a warm and welcoming feeling.

There are no gratuities to pay and your wine is free with your meals.

At the moment on a selection of cruises you can also enjoy $400 on board credit on oceanview cabins and above.

With a selection of wonderful itineraries to choose from Azamara cruises are certainly worth considering.

Summer 8 night cruises from Southampton

Throughout July/August and the beginning of September MSC are offering some special 8 night cruises visiting Amsterdam, La Rochelle, Bilbao,La Coruna and Cherbourg.

These are ideal cruises for those wanting to experience the joys of cruising for the first time, not having to travel too far from home and also as they are very reasonably priced not having to spend a fortune to do so.

In fact their cruise on the 8th September starts at a very reasonable £599 per person based on 2 persons sharing a 2 berth inside cabin.

It is great that by them offering these fantastic summer sailings there is now more choice for passengers who do not necessarily want to have a longer holiday, but just fancy a change.

The MSC opera offers entertainment, childrens clubs and all the usual amenities you would expect to find on a cruise.

To add to this on selected sailings you can also benefit from free car parking or 2 free excursions.

We are busy busy busy 2012 on sale

From last Saturday we have seen Cunard and P&O launch their 2012 programmes and my we have been busy bees.

Tomorrow sees the launch of the July sailings and of course as their  special 175th celebration is on the 3rd July and we know that at 08.00am tomorrow these sailings will start to fill very quickly. Many loyal cruisers or clients just looking to experience the celebrations and seeing all ships together for a one off occasion have made these sailings extremely popular

To anyone reading this I would suggest that you contact us as soon as you can if you are considering one of these cruises.

It is great to see so many customers pre-booking their cruises for 2012 to ensure that they get the best cabins of their choice.

We have been very lucky that we have managed to get our clients who have pre-registered the cruises they have requested.

It is also great to see that the doom and gloom of the economy does not seem to have deterred alot of people from booking their holidays, even if it is for 2012, we all need something special to look forward to.
