2007 P&O Cruises!
Hi Everyone,
I received this press release from P&O Cruises and thought it would be of interest. If you have missed any of my news' postings, they are available on my web site. Best regards, Ray LIGHTHOUSE TRAVEL 800-719-9917 or 805-566-3905 http://www.lighthousetravel.com 30 March 2006 Passengers wishing to book a particular cabin on their favourite ship - with the best value early-booking discount – should move fast, as P&O Cruises unveils its preview brochure, detailing the majority of cruises departing in 2007. The preview brochure is also the first to display the new visual identity for P&O Cruises, as it will feature the new P&O Cruises ‘rising sun’ logo as well as a new look cover and layout, which will be carried through to subsequent cruise brochures. Philip Price, head of brand marketing, P&O Cruises, said the preview brochure is the company’s response to the trend for passengers, particularly those who have cruised before, to book their cruise holidays earlier. “There is always huge anticipation around the annual release of our cruise programme. Publishing a preview brochure means we can get the new cruise itineraries to market earlier and at the same time reward our frequent and past passengers with the best value, early booking discounts.” The preview brochure features detailed itinerary information and is available from April 1, 2006, with cruises on-sale from April 4. The main first edition brochure, which is available in June, will contain more comprehensive information on facilities and activities and an in-depth look at the varying onboard experiences. Main season prices come into effect when this brochure is launched. “We know past passengers require less product information as they are familiar with our ships. They know which experience they are looking for, on which ship they want to sail and will have a general idea of where they want to go on their next cruise,” said Price. The new brochure reveals innovative new itineraries, which are sought out by past passengers looking to travel somewhere new, or to combine destinations to which they’ve not travelled before. All itineraries are designed to reflect the experience on board the individual ships. For example destinations visited by Artemis are ‘off the beaten track’, suiting an experienced cruise passenger, whereas newcomer ship Oceana explores the ever-popular Mediterranean and Caribbean seas. There are seven new ports including Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos Islands, Savannah in the United States and Valencia in Spain, as well as lesser-known ports in the increasingly fashionable Baltic region, such as Vaasa in Finland and Klaipeda in Lithuania. Itinerary innovations include: · A 29-night American Adventure cruise on board Artemis, travelling to Vigo in Spain, Orlando, (Florida) Savannah, (Georgia) Charleston, (North Carolina) Baltimore, (Maryland) Norfolk, (Virginia) New York City; Newport, (Rhode Island) Boston (Massachusetts) and Bar Harbour, (Maine) in the United States, and Madeira, priced from £2,399** per person. · An 18-night Arctic Explorer cruise on board Artemis, travelling to Ireland, Greenland and Lapland, priced from £1,799 per person. · A 12-night Winter Wonderland Christmas Markets cruise to Amsterdam, Oslo, Copenhagen (overnight), Gothenburg, Hamburg (overnight) and Bruges, priced from £899 per person. · A two-night Weekender party cruise on board Oceana, travelling to Bruges in Belgium, priced from £189 per person. Also featured are ever-popular ‘family choice’ cruises, departures particularly suited to families wishing to travel in the school holidays, giving parents the opportunity to book well in advance and secure family cabins. Free or discounted supplementary beds are available for additional adults and children on selected cruises, subject to availability. With 100 cruises visiting 162 ports in 56 countries, there is a cruise to suit everyone on board one of P&O Cruises five ships, which between them offer more cruise options than any other cruise line sailing from the U.K. For more information, see a travel agent.
