Classic International Cruises has announced its first ever line voyage from England to Australia in September, 2013, with new combo fares also introduced to enable passengers to cruise from Australia to England and back for a long European summer holiday next year.
The new cruise – a 44-night traditional line voyage aboard the classic-styled Athena from Tilbury on September 29, 2013, to Perth – will provide the earliest start ever for a summer season in Australia for Classic International Cruises.
It will be the line’s first-ever voyage to Australia from England rather than Italy or France.
Passengers can sail from Perth on April 15, 2013, to England aboard Athena via the Suez Canal at the end of her 2012/13 season in Australia and after arriving in the UK on May 25, spend the summer in England or Europe before sailing on September 29 back to Perth, via South Africa, arriving on November 12, 2013
Classic International Cruise is offering a minimum $1860 per person discount to passengers who combine the two line voyages from Perth to England and back in 2013, with the 40-night northbound voyage next April and the 44-night southbound voyage in September, 2013, available from $10,995 per person, instead of $12,855.
The combo fare includes a total of 84 nights aboard Athena as well as all onboard meals and entertainment.
Athena has 277 cabins and carries 580 passengers.
