Did YouKnow?

Aurora Expeditions

Aurora Expeditions were the first cruisecompany to offer polar diving in Antarctica

back in 2003.

When diving in the Poles a dry suit is

required as water temperatures inAntarctica's Southern Ocean tend to sit

around zero degrees Celsius.

Interestingly it can often be -2 degreescolder when swimming next to an iceberg,

due to the freshwater runoff.

Aurora Expeditions undertook its first

overland crossing of the Island of SouthGeorgia in 1998.

Every year since 98 the company has lead12 climbers on a pilgrimage following in SirErnest Shackleton's footsteps. In al l,Aurora Expeditions have lead 180 climberssuccessfully across the spectacular andhistoric South Georgia.

Orion sailor rescue comes at a costTwo days after crew saved astranded French yachtsman, Orion

Expedition Cruises considers

compensation for passengers.

THE dramatic rescue of a solo sailor made

international headlines when crew of the Orion

plucked Alain Delord from his raft 380 nautical

miles south-west of Hobart on Sunday night.

The Frenchman had spent three months alone,

sailing around the world, before encountering

heavy seas that destroyed his vessel. Orion, sailing on an Antarctic voyage,

responded to the call for assistance and

reached him two days later.

In rough seas, with side gates opened, the

ship suffered extensive flooding in the lower

decks and hospital, and the cruise was cut

short to return to Hobart.

According to reports on the cruise line's

Facebook page, Delord was accommodated in

a suite on the luxury ship and provided

medical care, dinner and red wine.

Expedition leaders Don and Margie McIntyre

reported that guests had cheered from thedeck and been part of an amazing adventure

that all can be proud of.

Orion was due to arrive at 8am this morning

(Tuesday), with passengers offered alternative

day trips in Tasmania to the Museum of Old

and New Art (MONA) and Port Arthur.

McIntyre said the vibe onboard is still high.

According to a company spokesperson, the

ship has no damage and passengers may be

compensated for the cancellation of the

remainder of the cruise.

Obviously we do not want disgruntled

guests and so Orion management are looking

at this now, he told Cruise Weekly.

Passengers missed Macquarie Island and also

because of extensive ice did not get ashore at

Mawson's Huts.

QE2 headed to AsiaFORMER Cunard favourite, QE2, will start a

new life as a five star floating hotel in Asia,

according to her owner, Oceanic Group.

QE2 has spent the last four years cooling her

heels in a Dubai port, and as yet Oceanic

Group has not confirmed where in Asia QE2

will be based.

the end of February, and the company has said

that it will waive fees for any passengers,

should they wish, to reschedule their voyage

up to 31 March 2014.

Future Predictionby: Louise Goldsbury

All eyes on Australia Copenhagen Mississippi River

We asked the experts, what does the year ahead hold for cruising?

Ann Sherry, CEO, Carnival Australia:

"With more ships sailing in local waters and an ever increasing

number of repeat passengers, I think we're going to see a real focus on

destinations in 2013. Passengers are looking for new itineraries and

different ports and they also want to deepen their cruise experience

by engaging with the communities they visit. The ships will remain

important, but the destinations will really complete the holiday."Tammy Marshall, Senior Vice President, P&O Cruises:

"We have a record number of short P&OSeabreaks on offer this year

and I think they'll continue to be in strong demand throughout 2013.

On the destination front, sales for our new port of Moreton Island are

booming, so it's certainly hot, and our PNG cruises have also proved

incredibly popular."

Adam Armstrong, Commercial Director, Royal Caribbean:

"Australia is one of 2013's hot destinations. We've entered a brave

new era in Australian cruising and all eyes are now on our part of the

world, especially now that world-class cruise ships like Celebrity

Solstice and Voyager of the Seas are based here, as previously you'd

have to travel to Europe or the Caribbean to experience ships of their

size and standard."

Alan Stuart, Commercial Director, Princess Cruises:

"With the Australian dollar staying strong, we're seeing a lot of

growth in our fly-cruise market, especially to Europe. In particular, our

shorter sectors in and out of Rome on our 90-night Grand Europe

Round World Cruise have been a real hit. Australians love a bit of

adventure too and I'm tipping that our new South America cruises on

Crown Princess will sell well this year - particularly the 49-day

itinerary, which includes a fabulous overnight stay in Rio de Janeiro

during Carnival."

Brett Jardine, General Manager, ICCA:

"While Europe generally continues to be in high demand amongst

Australian cruisers, I think northern Europe is a bit of a sleeper and

may be the real star this year. It's a region many Australians are keen

to explore and cruising is one of the best ways to do it."Christian Schweitzer, Marketing Manager Australasia, Avalon

Waterways:

"Destinations outside Europe will become more important among

river cruise passengers, especially given the high level of repeat

cruisers. Avalon recently released new itineraries on the Mississippi

and has had an exceptional response. Bookings on other rivers like

the Mekong and Yangtze and among the Galapagos islands are also

very strong right now."

John Molinaro, General Manager, Uniworld Australia:

"We have seen a growing trend emerge among experienced travellers

who are seeking unique ways of exploring places that they have

previously loved visiting. As such, Italy as our newest destination for

2013 has received a great response to date, and as result weanticipate a similar interest in our Bordeaux itinerary ahead of 2014."

Jackie Charltona, Managing Director, Captain Cook Cruises Fiji:

"Fiji will remain a hot destination in 2013 and business from the USA

is up. New interconnecting rooms now cater for families, plus

completed renovations throughout the ship make Reef Endeavour

ready to accommodate a busy year."
