TRAVEL TRADE ONLY:  From Sue Francis at the Travel Industry Club: "Rather than choose one cruise line this week we have selected 20 excellent itineraries from across our range of operators. Discounts offered to TIC members are very significant, she adds. 

Remember conditions always apply to these specials. Check airline prices from your capital city. I recommend you use a travel agent - and travel insurance is essential. Finally I make mistakes like all of us. Check websites to confirm details.
