Big kids go free on Athena
FREMANTLE – Kids under 18 can cruise for free on five cruises aboard Athena from Fremantle and Adelaide, including 10 or 11-night summer school holiday cruises to Bali.
Families of four can join from just $4790, including all onboard meals.
Classic International Cruises treats kids under 18 as children and has waived kids’ fares on five cruises this summer, with children only paying port charges and taxes.
Classic International Cruises’ family-friendly flagship, Athena, offers free, supervised activities for children and teenagers, no extra charges for specialty dining and the onboard currency is Australian dollars.
Athena offers extended, overnight stays in Bali, allowing passengers to explore the island at leisure, using the ship as their base.
The family deal applies to two adults and two children under 18 on these cruises:
– 10-night Christmas cruise return from Fremantle/Perth in WA on December 20, 2009, to Bali for a two-day stay
– 11-night school holiday cruise return from Fremantle/Perth on January 4, 2010, to Bali for a three-day stay.
