SAIL AWAY: Astor to sail into the sunset for farewell season

Cruise & Maritime Voyages’ Astor will sail her final Australian season this summer following six solid years of cruising from Fremantle and Adelaide. It's not all sad news though because there will be some hot deals that Agents can take advantage of.

Cruise & Maritime Voyages’ Astor will sail her final Australian season this summer following six solid years of cruising from Fremantle and Adelaide. It’s not all sad news though because there will be some hot deals that Agents can take advantage of.

In the spirit of farewell, Cruise & Maritime Voyages’ (CMV) has ‘Extend your Escape’ back-to-back offers for travellers boarding the boutique ship between December 2018 and March 2019.

Destinations will include Kangaroo Island, Bali, Hobart, Busselton and Geographe Bay.

Back-to-back cruises are popular with CMV’s regulars, including one particularly loyal passenger who booked themselves on nine consecutive voyages on Astor this season.

“We believe our guests keep returning because of the intimate atmosphere and personalised service on our ships, and our new offer provides the ideal opportunity to see more of Australia for less.”

Managing Director of CMV Australia, Dean Brazier.

He said in the upcoming season guests could sail from Fremantle to Adelaide via Esperance for five nights before heading off on a three-night cruise sampling the delights of Kangaroo Island and Port Lincoln.

They could then sail around Tasmania to experience its natural wonders, history, and culinary attractions for an additional seven nights.

“Summer is arguably the best time to cruise these destinations with plenty of opportunities to cool off at some of Australia’s most pristine beaches,” he said.

Guests booking any back-to-back voyages for Astor’s 2018/19 Australian season until 31 August 2018 will receive a bonus 20% off already reduced fares.

Three-night cruises start from $679 per person twin-share with the second guest traveling for half price.

CMV’s new ship Vasco da Gama will join the fleet from April 2019 and will begin its first Australian season in December 2019.
