Classic International Cruises has partnered with various travel companies to offer the deals. One company, Talpacific, has a 35-night package available from A$5989 per person, twin-share, in an ocean-view cabin.
The offer includes:
Flight with Singapore Airlines from mainland state capital cities in Australia to Athens; one night in Athens and the 34-night voyage aboard Athena from Athens on November 14, 2009, to Fremantle via Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore
