CRUISE THE FLIGHT AWAY!

NO FLY CRUISES FROM CELEBRITY.

Celebrity Cruises which now sails their latest ship ‘ECLIPSE’ from Southampton provides massive benefits of not having to fly. This has become and increasing concern as the Icelandic Volcano caused so much disruption over the last couple of weeks, a colleague of mine actually only managed to get back to the UK yesterday! So we are still feeling the knock on effects.

FREDS FUEL CHARGE FRENZY!

Fred Olsen Cruise Lines has recently announced that due to the current high price of oil they will be introducing a fuel supplement applicable to all new bookings from Wednesday 5th May 2010.

The supplement will be £3.00 per person per cruise night to a maximum of £60 per person and £1.50 per person per cruise night for third and subsequent occupants of a cabin to a maximum of £30 per person. The charges will apply to all bookings made on departures featured in Fred. Olsen's 2010/11 Worldwide brochure and the 2011 Preview brochure.

Fred Olsen also announced that, should the price of Brent crude oil fall back to £45 per barrel or below, averaged across the month prior to date of departure, the fuel supplement will be refunded to the passenger in the form of on board spending credit which personally I think is a great idea, the oil prices fluctuate so much that the is deemed a ‘back up plan’

Significantly, they only apply to new bookings while many cruise lines have reserved the right to impose fuel supplements on existing bookings Fred Olsen is only applying this to new bookings.

What do you think of the new fuel supplements and the subsequent offer if the prices reduce? Fair? Has anyone had fuel charges applied before?

CRUISING ALONG NICELY!!

Monday morning upon us and after a beautiful sunny weekend on the water ways, I am back at work facing the challenges’ ahead on launch week. Saturday started the launched with 2011 P&O and Cunard cruises, so if your looking at getting away in peak season with the family, Id suggest you get on the phone and enquire about availability as the bigger, family occupancy units and disabled cabin will be the first to go. If the cruise or cruises you are looking for has yet to ‘be launched’ then we are happily taking ‘Pre registrations’ which allows you to be first in line when they do go live to book. Call in the office on 0800 091 5254 to discuss your options.

EMAIL ME AT: nadinel@cruise.co.uk and I will get straight back to you.

Otters' Pocket

My Step daughter and I taking a little trip out!

RIVER CRUISING

iverWow. Its barely the end of April and here we are with the thoughts of Summer upon us. If your anything like me, planning what to do for holidays and short breaks are at the top of your list!! My first jaunt will be this weekend (River water levels permitting) I need to get 'Otters Pocket' back out and up to form this weekend, well I say 'I' when I actually mean Curtis, my other half, he is a boat engineer so he gets his hands dirty whilst I get domesticated.. Blow out the cobwebs from all corners body, mind and boat! Being on a river certainly brings a whole new level to the term 'Chill out and Relax'

Make sure you keep an eye out for the famous 'Plastic Bag fish' in city centre canals, but these are becoming rarer as British Waterways do an excellent job as is their cousin the 'Plastic Bottle Crab' amongst some of the more true natural greats, such as wild birds and a fowl.

As beautiful as these areas are, taking a river boat cruise through France and the Saone would knock socks off our ‘little’ waterways, Ill post some info on here about that over the weekend and try and show you some pictures of the ship, she really is a mighty vessel.
