Winter to Spring Grand Voyages in 2008/2009

Six cruise lines are featured in Mundy Cruising’s latest brochure, the ‘Grand Voyage Experience’ launched this month by the luxury travel specialist

WINTER to SPRING GRAND VOYAGES 2008/9  - BOOK WELL AHEAD WITH MUNDY CRUISING TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT - World Cruises, Grand Voyages, Carte Blanche services

* full World Cruise fares from: £9,821

* Sector fares from: £2,330

* Long cruise fares from £2,006

Says Edwina Lonsdale, Mundy Cruising Managing Director: “We have seen a huge surge in demand for cruises in excess of 40 days, whether sectors of a World Cruise, the full World Cruise in its entirety, or several cruises booked back to back. For this reason, whilst 2009 may seem a long way ahead, to secure the right itinerary and preferred choice of accommodation, we do recommend planning and booking months in advance.”

What better way to escape the long, dreary British winter, than to choose a long cruise to sunnier climes - an adventure either on a Grand Voyage, or World Cruise. A cruise ship provides a perfect vehicle for exploring the world in style; and to ‘test the water’, cruise lines also sensibly breakdown full world cruise programmes into the option of shorter sectors.

The benefits of long cruises include the range of destinations and cultures visited and on board the opportunity to take part in all the onboard activities and entertainment, or just relax with like-minded, fellow passengers.

Travellers booking World Cruise programmes through Mundy Cruising can also benefit from two exclusive Mundy Carte Blanche services, designed to enhance and personalise the cruise experience for clients.  These are:

** Private Tours: bookable in advance and allowing Mundy passengers to avoid travelling with crowds. At ports round the world Mundy Carte Blanche has teamed up with knowledgeable guides and suppliers to ensure a first-class private tour service, in private-air conditioned transport.

** Private Luggage Delivery: Imagine the pleasure of setting off from home to join a cruise carrying only hand luggage. This service ensures all luggage is picked up in advance from the home address and delivered first-class by Fed-Ex direct to the hotel or cruise ship.

 
Mundy Cruise Consultants are on hand to assist with the above Carte Blanche arrangements (additional charges apply) - Tel: 020 7292 2383
