P&O Cruises is emphasising on the freedom of a cruise holiday on the open seas, with its new message: P&O Cruises, Like No Place on Earth.

The drive comes as two more ships are due on the horizon and draws on emotive, atmospheric imagery to capture the spirit of a holiday where guests can experience a new adventure every day. 

This theme is evident in the names chosen for the cruise line’s two latest ships – Pacific Eden and Pacific Aria, announced earlier this month. 

 

Tigerair is celebrating Christmas in July with flights on sale from just $30 each way from now until midnight Wednesday 23 July. These incredible deals on summer time travel give Australians something to look forward to once the warmer weather returns.

Tigerair Australia’s Head of Communications Vanessa Regan said that while many of us are now back at work following the winter holidays and are preparing to dig in for the second half of 2014, it is never too early to start planning ahead and bagging a summer bargain. 

 

G Adventures has launched a new itinerary to Haiti as the country works to build its tourism industry, five years after its devastating earthquakes.

It will operate five departures of the 10-day Highlights of Haiti trip from February 2015.

“Haiti is a country full of amazing people who are really looking to move on from the tragedy in 2010,” Australia and New Zealand head Belinda Ward said. “We are proud to be offering our travellers the opportunity to not only meet the people of Haiti but also experience their world-class art and culture, real-time history and stunning beaches.”

 

Germany has revealed its hot spots with a list the 100 most popular sights for foreign tourists in Germany. Neuschwanstein Castle, Europa-Park Rust and Cologne Cathedral take top rankings yet again in this the third year running.

The Top 100 was compiled by a survey conducted by the German National Tourist Board (GNTB) between August 2013 and April 2014.

GNTB chief executive officer Petra Hedorfer said “more than 11,000 Germany travellers took the opportunity to vote for their favourites and at the same time we asked users to rate our website, with 75% giving us a good or very good.”
