NEW CRUISE SHOW DRAWS A CROWD
Cruise fans flocked to the first SOUTH OF ENGLAND CRUISE SHOW on February 18 at Hurstpierpoint in West Sussex. The all-day show was sponsored by the
UK’s top specialist cruise agents, The Cruise Line Ltd, and supported by a wide array of cruise-related companies. Held in the magnificent surroundings of 19th century Hurstpierpoint College, the show featured lectures and presentations by many of the lines at the exhibition, as well as a draw for a FREE cruise. This latter, for a voyage with luxury

involved were Regent, Silversea, Seabourn, Oceania, Seadream, Hapag- Lloyd, Hebridean, Crystal, Hurtigruten and Cunard, as well as Canada’s Rocky Mountaineer train and Titan Hi Tours. For details of future shows, be sure to check with the Cruise Line on 0800 008 6677 or
