Classic extends Europe cruise

Thursday, 08 Oct, 2009 0

SYDNEY – Classic International Cruises has extended a traditional voyage from Australia to Europe aboard Athena by five nights.

Athena’s original 35-night voyage from Fremantle on March 14, 2010, to Nice is now a 40-night journey ending in the UK port of Portsmouth, with Athena’s home port of Lisbon now also included.

Classic International Cruises said it received numerous requests for the voyage to be extended from France to the UK.

“As cruising becomes more popular, more Australians are definitely opting for longer cruises, with more world voyage, round-Australia and extended Asian itineraries available,” said Classic International Cruises (Australia) managing director, Grant Hunter.

The voyage from Fremantle will include visits to Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Cyprus, Malta, Italy, France and Portugal.

The cruise will come at the end of Athena’s second summer season based in Australia – and the sixth consecutive season in Australia for Classic International Cruises.

The 600-passenger Athena is a traditional, mid-sized liner with a yacht-like atmosphere.

Bookings are available via travel agents. For general information on Athena, visit www.classicintcruises.com
