Attention Cruise Freeks: We are headed to Australia in 2012!

The details are still being worked out, but this Australia Cruise Freek Group is now 'official!' cheers
More than likely this sailing will take place in January or February of 2012, which is summer time in Australia. Bookings will open in April, 2010.

We can now begin discussions on possible cruise lines, itineraries, and general group talk.

Come on everyone...who is onboard with us! This is going to be....an epic journey!

Make sure you get your email address on the OPT IN list to keep up on the updates!

Right Tina has the banner up as the first one in 2012 with "Winter, 2012" so that means January, February or perhaps March. So, yes it would one of those months after the Crystal 2011 Holiday cruise.

I am going to do my best to make this a charity sailing also. If things go according to plan we will make this a fund raiser for the Sea Shephard Conservation Society http://www.seashepherd.org/

Ron! You da man! Looks like a cool charity for this one. I've seen that WHALE WARS show on Tv. It's very disturbing to see what actually happens to marine life as well as wildlife in this world!

I hope I can get them to accept the proposal. I think that organization will fit well with that sailing. Maybe we can even arrange to meet Paul Watson while we are there. It will depend on their schedule but maybe we can arrange a pre-cruise excursion to see one of their boats.

Ron there are a lot of factors - some of the cruise lines like Royal Caribbean and Celebrity will allow us to use group amenities points to help raise funds. Other lines like Princess and Carnival would have us add the fund raising fees to the pricing. So, we have some homework ahead of us yet.

Our travel agent will do that part but, we'll still all work together to get maximum benefits for the charity.
