Tradewind Voyages is the latest cruise line to axe its Aussie sailings after growing tired of waiting for the federal government to get its sh*t together.

Between this and being detained in Dover last month, we’d say this whopping great sailboat is in desperate need of a holiday.

The highly anticipated Golden Horizon, which is due Down Under soon, almost had its maiden voyage spoiled after the ship was “arrested” at the Port of Dover.

An Australian first has put more wind in the cruise industry’s sails (and sales), with loads of travellers reserving their spot on the world’s largest sailing ship.

The impending arrival of the world’s largest and newest sailing ship Down Under has inspired the cruise line and its Aussie rep to offer a couple of fab scholarships.

This week’s Cruise Wrap is so hefty, we reckon that if each letter weighed a tonne, it would equate to a 4,000-pax ship. However, we’re not mathematicians and we also haven’t made any effort to count each individual letter.
