The largest ship ever to visit Australia, Queen Mary 2 will call at eight Australian ports during her time Down Under including Sydney, Fremantle, Adelaide and the Whitsundays, as well as maiden visits to Cairns (Yorkey's Knob), Darwin, Melbourne and Brisbane. Her circumnavigation will also include a call at Bali. There will be three circumnavigation options - a 22-night voyage departing Sydney on 14 February 2012, a 20-night voyage departing Fremantle on 8 February 2012 and a 21-night voyage departing Adelaide on 11 February 2012.

Pricing is expected to be available in mid-year 2010. ________________________________________________________ Booking Form is now available!

Deposits As we begin gearing up for World Cruise 2012, questions are sure to arise for example what type of deposit requirements will be necessary. Keep in mind that I will be unable to give exact information until pricing comes out later this year, however, based on World Cruise 2011, deposits will be approximately: * D5 Inside cabin $5515 * A4 Balcony cabin $8258 * P2 Princess Grill cabin $14,799 Deposits are based upon double occupancy (two people sharing one cabin) Again, the prices above are just ball park figures, but, many find it helpful as they begin to chart-out their finances for the long voyage.

Q&A Question: What is the purpose of forming a group for a World Cruise? Answer: To help obtain the lowest possible price for everyone who is interested in being part of the group. _____________________ Question: Does this mean we eat together and have activities together? Answer: No, it isn't that type of group. This group is for pricing and amenities purposes only. You will not be forced into socializing, dining or any other "group" type activities. _____________________ Question: Can I make payment arrangements with you? Answer: Absolutely! A world cruise is very expensive, and, I can tailor payments to your special needs and requests. The only requirements are that you make the full deposit as determined by Cunard Cruise Lines and that you make your final payment by the deadline as determined by Cunard Cruise Lines _____________________ Question: What type of amenities will you be offering? Answer: As you may or may not know, a world cruise (usually) comes with a variety of amenities, especially aboard a Cunard World Cruise. In the past the following have been included by Cunard as amenities: * On-board Credit of up to $2,000 per stateroom * Savings of up to 10% off Early Booking Fares * Complimentary Hotel & Dining Charges * Up to $400 per person in Shore Excursion Credits for Grill guests * Gala World Voyage Dinner * Special Commemorative Gifts * Welcome Aboard Reception & Senior Officer Dinner * World Voyage Cocktail Parties * Services of a World Voyage Concierge And, I do believe these same amenities will be included in World Cruise 2012. In addition, I will be offering special amenities to this group as an office exclusive, and, more information will be provided later this year.
