The wedding, same-sex commitment and renewal of vows packages can be used on any of the 16 cruises from 2-35 nights that Athena will offer from Western Australia and South Australia next summer, including a special four-night Valentine’s cruise, sailing from Fremantle on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2010.
