Cruising is such a pleasure... when you take into account the cost it would be to fly to all these places, to get through the airport... to all these different cities, finding accommodation, transfers, food... how easy does it seem to get on the cruise ship in Sydney, sail at a leisurely relaxing pace, dining when you want with an amazing choice of eateries, you will be spoilt for choice. The cuisine on board delivers an extraordinary experience for the senses... dazzling colours of a seafood entre' accdented with a pink cognac sauce. The rich flavour of aged black angus Chateaubriand, prepared to your exact liking then why not finish with a decadent dark dutch chocolate souffle... and that's just the beginning. With eight eateries to choose from there is a taste for everyone... something quick in the pizzeria, a snack at the burger and hot dog grill... high tea in the dining room in the afternoon, a late snack in the 24 hour buffet perhaps?
This is YOUR holiday to do as you will and all the time heading towards an exciting adventure in a fascinating port.
Included in your price is all taxes, your accommodation including your own room steward, all your meals (except in the Stirling Steakhouse and Ice Cream Bar where there is a small surcharge), your entertainment, activities. Not included are your beverages.

I have had the pleasure of sailing with Princess Cruises on the Sun Princess more than once and I am very happy with their service and their food. Here are some photo's of the wonderful places you would be seeing and the photo's of food are my actual photo's that I took when I was on board... the food is amazing.
Happy sailing and I look forward to hearing from you. Call us on (02) 9591 9066 (Michelle Direct) or (02) 9585 0277 (Head office for Helen)
