Ways to save The fares in this brochure are per adult and are shown with the 175th Anniversary Sale saving deducted. These savings apply to bookings made before 29 February 2012 subject to availability. When the 175th Anniversary Sale expires, fares may revert to the brochure fare.
175th Anniversary Sale The holidays within this brochure benefi t from 175th Anniversary Sale saving, giving you the opportunity to save from £278 per couple on a 7 night cruise (based on cruise D211) up to £688 per couple (based on cruise J213) based on inside cabins, subject to availability. Please note that the 175th Anniversary Sale savings only apply to the cruise holidays as detailed on the itinerary pages of the brochure and only apply to bookings made by 29 February 2012. 175th Anniversary Sale savings do not apply to infant fares or holiday package options.
Family Savers If you’re travelling with children or teenagers our Family Savers on Aurora, Azura, Oceana and Ventura offer generous reductions – or in some cases free places for children – utilising the extra beds that are contained in a number of cabins. In twin cabins these extra beds are upper pullman berths (except for Aurora grades OA, KA, JA, IA and IB where they are sofa beds) and in deluxe cabins, superior deluxe cabins, mini-suites and suites these are sofa beds. To calculate the family fare, the fi rst two occupants pay the adult fare for the grade concerned minus any applicable savings, then deduct the Family Savers reduction for a child/teenager (aged 2-16). The Family Savers reductions can be found beneath the fare grids. This does not apply to AE grade Suites on Azura and Ventura, which are based on 4 full paying adult passengers. Aurora, Azura, Oceana and Ventura have a number of cabins that can accommodate a travel cot for an infant aged over 6 months and under 2 years. In these cases you pay the rates shown in the information displayed beneath the fare grids, regardless of your chosen cabin grade.
There are limited infant/child and teen places available on all cruises. It is advisable to book as soon as possible if intending to take advantage of the Family Savers offer, as only a limited number of these extra beds are available for use by children on each cruise. Please note Family Savers are not available on the fi rst two occupants or on single occupancy, and Family Savers do not apply on Adonia, Arcadia or Oriana – our ships exclusively for adults.
Share Savers
A number of cabins contain extra beds and if three or four adults book as a party and share one of these cabins, then our Share Savers can save you money. In twin cabins these extra beds are upper pullman berths or sofa beds. You’ll fi nd further details in the deck plans (pages 138-179). An asterisk on the deck plans shows the grades at which some cabins have extra beds. The fi rst two adults pay the adult fare and for the third and fourth person in an extra bed you deduct the Share Savers reduction from the fare for the grade concerned. It is, however, advisable to book
180
early, as only a limited number of these extra beds will be available for sale on each cruise.
Please note that only a limited number of cabins will be available for Family Savers and Share Savers. Once this number has been reached Family and Share Savers will still be possible but at a higher fare or reduced level of saving.
Group & Wedding Savers For details of special arrangements we can provide for groups of all types – from clubs and associations to corporate incentives, conferences and wedding parties – see your travel agent or call us for more information.
Combination Savers Take two or more consecutive cruises to enjoy an extended holiday and our Combination Savers will give you a 10% reduction on the combined adult fare. These Combination Savers do not apply to either cruise if one or both of the cruises are of 4 nights or less in duration, a world cruise or an exotic fl y-cruise.
