Topic: Empire and Nostalgia - No flying Australia

There is never a dull moment in the cruise travel industry and we do get some great requests from prospective cruisers and no more so than a request from a gentleman recently, a no fly cruise to Australia.

Not an everyday request these days but as experienced cruises will know it is certainly possible if you have the time and means. A rare request yes, but you only need to go back to the halcyon days of the 50’s & 60’s and the days of the empire and the £10 poms to see it was a regular route that has left a wake of nostalgia today.
