TRAVEL BRIEFS
John Crook
Birthplace of Marco Polo
There are discounts of up to $1500 per couple in the Best of Croatia and Dalmatia cruise package, with two departures in June and likewise October. What caught my eye was the mention of Marco Polo. His birthplace is included in the tour itinerary. Fabulous historical and cultural heritage throughout. Also included is a four night cruise from Dubrovnik to Split aboard M/S Pape Prvi. All those intense hours set aside for history and geography lessons at Eudunda Area School now come alive via these escorted tours. Full details by calling 1300 363 554 or email info@beyondtravel.com.au

Queen Mary 2, London and New York
Wowee,- this has to be one of the best cruise offers around. An entire week cruising the Atlantic aboard the grand dame herself, - Queen Mary 2. Then staying in luxury at the finest hotels in New York and London. Included in the cruise package are airfares and taxes from Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane. Cruiseco has four of these packages between May 9 and June 8 this year, - priced from as low as $3850 per person twin share,- and in my book that's totally affordable. Go visit www.cruising.com.au
