Three Queens heading for Australia
Cunard will send all three of its Queens to Australia in 2014 as part of its new world voyage programme.
The visits by Queen Elizabeth, Queen Victoria and Queen Mary 2 will take place during February and March 2014, and represent the first time all members of the royal triumvirate have visited Australia in the same season.
Between them, the liners will make 16 calls at Australian ports.
The 2014 programme will be released to agents on August 24 and will go on sale in Australia on September 5, featuring a range of options from three full world voyages through to shorter eight-night sectors.
Meanwhile, The International Cruise Council Australasia has experienced a surge in travel agency memberships as agents across Australia and New Zealand sign up to take part in the first National Cruise Week.
ICCA general manager Brett Jardine said more than 50 travel agencies from Australia and New Zealand had joined the Cruise Council in the past month – the biggest monthly intake for more than a decade.
The inaugural National Cruise Week will run from September 3-9, and feature a range of cruise deals available only through ICCA accredited agents.
