Cruise Lines Slash Prices to Lure Consumers
Monday, 15/12/2008
Cruise lines, navigating a dreadful economy and tight-fisted consumers, are rolling out a bounty of bargain fares to fill their ships. With many deals matching the sort of deep discounting the industry resorted to in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, travel agents say cruising has become almost cheaper than staying home.

The fall is always a good time to shop for cruise discounts because bookings slack off during the period. But this year –amid the dramatic downturn in the U.S. economy, punctuated by a credit crisis, rising unemployment and a slump in consumer spending- the cruise deals are better and more widespread than usual.

“We always say cruise lines are resilient to the economy, but we have seen a slowdown in the number of bookings compared to the same time last year,” said Harrison Liu, a spokesman for Miami-based Royal Caribbean International. “We’re working closely with travel agents and all our partners to entice consumers.”

Behind the discounts cruise lines have high fixed costs such as fuel, crew salaries and other operating expenses. The incremental cost of carrying each passenger –a little food and drink, a few bed linens and towels- is small. That dictates that cruise ships sail full with two passengers per berth; often, they fill the third and fourth berths available in cabins.

For now, the special deals on many cruise lines extend well into 2009, and some into 2010. They run the gamut from short, budget-oriented weekend trips to long and exotic luxury voyages. Some of the industry’s hottest new ships, like the Celebrity Solstice and the Carnival Splendor, are available at a bargain.

It’s not just cruises that are selling at a discount. Shares of both Carnival Corp. and Royal Caribbean Cruises have been battered recently. Carnival announced Oct. 31 it was suspending its quarterly dividend in a conservative move to conserve capital, and on Nov. 18 Royal Caribbean followed suit.

Industry insiders will be closely watching “wave season,” which spans the first quarter and is typically the busiest booking period of the year, to see whether the cruise lines are forced to extend the cheap cruise prices. “Right now, all the cruise lines have poker faces,” Chiron said.

Airlines Drop Prices to Entice Christmas Travelers
Monday, 08/12/2008
Not two months ago we were talking about expensive airfare for Thanksgiving, but now it looks like Christmas will be cheap. Cash-strapped customers have been cutting back on travel, and now airlines are trying to woo them back with specials.
American, United, Northwest, Delta and Air Canada are among the airlines that are offering holiday airfare sales.
If you need a break from family, you can find vacations too. How does the Bahamas sound for just $95 one way? Many of those deals are limited. Many airlines are also dropping the fees they added while gas prices were sky-high.

Day 1
PER Acacia Luxury Transport
G’Day! Welcome to Australia! After clearing immigration and customs, please make your way to the limousines meeting point where you’ll be met and transferred to your hotel by private vehicle.
Day 1
PER Hyatt Regency, Regency Club 3 nights (Perth Room)
Day 2 - 3
PER Australian Wild Escapes
Perth & Fremantle Full Day Experience (Departs daily)
You start by staying within the city limits and to Kings Park which occupies approximately 400 hectares of Mount Eliza overlooking the city of Perth and the Swan River. The Park has much to offer with its sweeping parklands, Botanic Garden, wildflowers (which are spectacular, especially in spring), and native bushland (two-thirds of the park). There are extensive city and river views with a panorama to the Darling Scarp. On a clear day, the Indian Ocean can be seen to the west. The magnificently sited State War Memorial is also one of several scenic vantages
On your way out of the city you stop at one of Perth’s best kept secrets, Cottesloe Beach. Cottesloe is one of Perth’s most popular beaches and attracts people looking to cool off from the hot summer heat. Its crystal clear waters, regular swell and fun atmosphere make it popular with swimmers, body boarders and surfers alike. Cotteslo&s famous pine trees which can be seen all the way from Rottenest Island provide welcome shade from the sun and grassy areas to relax in. You will enjoy morning tea overlooking the Indian Ocean. You travel to the coast and to Fremantle which oozes heritage and cosmopolitan culture. Every day of the week, the streets are abuzz with shoppers and alfresco diners, while pubs brim over with patrons from across the globe. Best known for its docks, marinas, and charming heritage sandstone buildings we head to Victoria Quay to visit the Western Australian Maritime Museum. Designed to depict a boat stranded on a sandy promontory, the museum houses famous sailing vessels along with hands on exhibits bringing sea-faring heritage to life.
Some of the state’s most popular seafood restaurants and cafés are dotted around Fishing Boat Harbour — and here you have a beautiful fish and chip lunch - the perfect place to sample the Indian Ocean’s bounty.
To finish off this exciting day you board a cruise to take you back to Perth. Your return journey follows Perth’s scenic Indian Ocean coastline via Leighton, Port and Cottesloe Beaches. One final stop at Kings Park allows time to enjoy or photograph the outstanding panorama of Perth and the Swan River before arriving back into the city late afternoon.
