T
he last 12 months have seen major growth
for I.C.E in Australasia and the South Pacific
with memberships and cruise bookings more than
doubling. This emphasises that cruising vacations
really are one of the most satisfying, with a high
percentage of people returning year after year.
In this edition of Privileges we have options to suit
everyone; families, parents whose children are
now independent, singles, grandparents, couples,
retirees, groups - everybody! There has never
been a better time, whatever your stage in life,
to embark on a cruise for a journey of a lifetime.
With the cost of vacationing continually on the rise,
cruising is proving to be a most economical way of
combining the advantages of both land and sea based
holidays. All inclusive main meals, entertainment
and accommodation as well as the opportunity to
enjoy the attractions and sights of the destination
means that you know upfront what to expect.
With more and more cruise lines repositioning to
our shores, there are plenty of options available
to explore our own beautiful back yard or with
reasonable airfares available, venture farther afield.
Also new for this edition is the launch of T.T.T. -
Trade your Resort week for a Tour Holiday on major
brands like Globus, Cosmos, Trafalgar, Insight & APT.
