Older Australians cruising longerOver 85% of baby boomers take cruises

of 12 days or more, according to Australias

eading cruise specialist.

An analysis by 2013 Best Travel Agency of

he Year, Adelaides Phil Homann Travel, has

ound that the vast majority of its customers

are cruising for longer than ever before.

According to the company, more than 85%

of its clients travel 12 days or longer on cruise

packages.

While the typical cruise holiday for boomers

was previously ve to 10 days, its now being

stretched out anywhere up to one month or

100 days, said Peter Williams, chief execuve

ocer of Phil Homann Travel.

This is a result of the inclusivity of pricing

and ease of travelling that cruising provides.

Williams added that rered people, with

both me and money on their hands,

appreciated the value of all-inclusive packages

that take care of ights, transfers, food and

entertainment.

According to Williams, the recent fall in theAustralian dollar had not weakened demand

for overseas cruises.

Regardless of the Australian dollar, most

places in which boomers are choosing to visit

have at economies at the moment so theyre

actually geng beer travel rates, he said.

The Mediterranean, Northern Europe and

Canada and Alaska were deemed the most

popular desnaons for baby boomers, with

river cruising in Europe becoming one of the

faster growing segments on the market.

Emerging cruising desnaons for the

Australian market include Panana Canal,Hawaii, Tahi and Antarcca.

Phil Homann, the companys managing

director, also said cruising was booming

because of the greater range of choice.

Baby boomer travellers can now choose

between a 60-passenger ship and a

5,000-passenger ship, and there are many

more being built and coming onto the market.

Its certainly raised the bar for what cruising is

all about.

Mega Queen Mary 2 discountsSignificant savings of up to $10,000 are

available for part of, or the enre Australian

circumnavigaon by the Queen Mary 2 during

her 2014 visit, if booked by 31 Oct.

Sectors of her 23-night journey are available

from Perth, Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane,

with the enre journey deparng Sydney

priced from $5,409pp twin share.

For more details, see www.ecruising.travel.

Royal Caribbean consolidationrOyal Caribbean Cruise Lines has announced

it will gradually implement a restructure to

some aspects of the organisaon over the

coming year, which will see its eleven global

contact centres consolidated down into three.

The global cruising giant cited the need

to address eciency challenges that are

common in any business that has experienced

rapid global expansion.

Call centres for both consumer and travel

agent queries will be taken over by an external

partner, with a number of other departments

to be centralised or regionalised.

RCCL said its proposal is likely to mean

some redundancies however it is unclear at

this stage how this restructure will aect the

operaons of its Australian oces.

We are currently working through the

details, including specics about the number

of jobs that will be aected, the company told

Cruise Weeklyin a statement.

However, we believed it was important to

share this informaon with our sta at this

stage and we have promised the team further

updates as more details become available.

The line plans to appoint individual managing

directors for each of its three brands, those

being Royal Caribbean Internaonal, Celebrity

Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises.*Condton appl. Contact APT o ll tm & condton. Atalan Pacfc Ton Pt LtdABN 44 004 684 619 Lc. No. 30112 MKT11778
