WORLD OF WONDERS
Joining Voyages Jules Verne’s popular escorted tours brochure for the first time this year are several new itineraries including:
Kingdom of the Black Pharaohs – boasting more pyramids than Egypt and an extraordinary archaeological heritage, this eight-night journey into the heart of Sudan takes travellers to a land of arid beauty, visiting ruined temples and spectacular Nile-side sites unimpeded by the presence of other visitors. Price is from £2,097 pp*.
The Holy Ganges – drift slowly down India’s sacred river on a six-night cruise, swapping the frenetic pace of the city for peace, tranquillity and the opportunity to access fascinating places such as historic Patna, Bodhgaya (scene of the Buddha’s enlightenment) and picturesque Monghyr. The cruise forms part of a 13-night Indian itinerary that also includes Delhi, Varanasi and Kolkata. Price is from £2,477 pp*.
SINGLE TRAVELLER
Travelling solo in 2010? Then be sure to pick up a copy of Voyages Jules Verne’s No Single Supplement brochure at the show. Far from being a ‘singles club’, this popular programme caters for those seeking to join regular groups of like-minded single travellers, as well as couples and friends journeying together, without financial penalty.
Choose from unforgettable European experiences such as In the Company of Angels, a four-night stay in the care of nuns from the Order of St. Joseph of the Apparition, in Rome – price is from £417 pp*. Or venture further afield and enjoy A Taste of China, a seven-night china tour with highlights including Beijing, Suzhou’s famed gardens and bustling Shanghai. Price is from £797 pp*.
CLASSIC RESORTS & WEEKENDS
If a two-week escape remains beyond budget in these taxing economic times, or there’s simply no space in the diary this year to indulge in a longer break, look no further than Voyages Jules Verne’s Classic Resorts & Weekends brochure. Featuring a tempting selection of two to seven-night itineraries – including city breaks, cultural tours and relaxing resort stays with a spot of sightseeing, choices include Turkish Meander, a seven-night tour of the Aegean coast and its iconic sites including Ephesus, Pamukkale and Hierapolis - price is from £677 pp* - and Venice from the Water, a fine mooring in the heart of the city aboard the MS Michelangelo that includes short cruises to the lagoon’s outlying islands - price is from £667 pp*.
*According to the itinerary selected, prices include air travel and taxes, transportation, accommodation, some meals, a sightseeing programme and the services of guides and local representatives. With the exception of No Single Supplement itineraries, prices are based on two people sharing.
Travellers with Voyages Jules Verne can also look forward to a number of special events, experiences and unique arrangements with their chosen itinerary that include – NEW for 2010/11 - the opportunity to visit an amazing Indian stepwell, enjoy a spectacular Sound & Light performance at Jaipur’s Amber Fort, the possibility of watching turtles come ashore at a hatchery in Sri Lanka and indulge in classical music, folklore and ballet in some of eastern Europe’s finest cities.
