Rail-cruise combos expandingTravellers have greater opons for trainjourneys linked with ocean and river cruises

for extended European holidays.

Australians are being encouraged to add train

travel for pre- and post-cruise extensions.

Richard Leonard, manager Australasia,

Rail Europe, told Cruise Weeklythat more

people are using trains before and aer

Mediterranean, Balc and river cruises.

Trains in Europe have become very

sophiscated and comfortable, with wider

seats and a very modern eet.

Speeds are faster, connecons are easierand wi- internet is available on most trains

and staons.

Leonard said cruise passengers would nd a

complementary experience on trains.

Theres a similar onboard ambience, youre

meeng people and connecng from city

centre to city centre, he said.

Adding a train trip also lets you discover

more desnaons and scenery that you cant

see from a boat.

Most major European ports conveniently

connect with the Rail Europe network, and

many countries have improved train servicesand pricing, he said.

In Italy, the new Italo rail service has

introduced really cheap fares that link with

cruises in and out of Venice and Rome.

Theres also a push for more high-speed

trains into Eastern Europe through Vienna into

Budapest and Prague, he said.

Leonard suggested Switzerland as a perfect

example of how rail lets you really experience

a country that you cant see by cruising.

The train staon at Basel, where many river

cruises start or nish, was a good seamless

opon for further Swiss travel, he said.Addionally, river cruise lines now oer the

opon of high-speed train services, instead of

coaches, to transfer passengers from airports

and cies to main cruise departure ports.

On a bus, youre going to end up on a

nondescript autobahn stopping at service

centres, whereas on trains you are geng all

the scenery, meeng the locals and others.

Trains are also an easier opon than hiring a

car, he said.

You dont have to worry about petrol, road

tolls, access into city centres and no stress.

Rail Europes local distributors include RailPlus, Rail Tickets (JTG), CIT Holidays and Innity

Rail (Flight Centre).

Carnival releases Legend itinerariesCarnival Cruise Lines today

announced further details of

the upcoming Carnival Legend

deployment in AustraliaThe cruise companys down under capacity

will increase by 50% next year, when Legend

oins year-round sister ship Carnival Spiritfor

ts own inaugural local summer season.

CCL director Australasia Jennifer Vandekreeke

aid that Legendwould operate 8-12 cruises toPacic desnaons including New Caledonia,

Vanuatu and Fiji - which would provide

exibility for some innovaons in Carnival

Spiritvoyages.

Spiritwill introduce a series of Sydney-based

hree-night cruises to nowhere - three of

which will depart on a Fri night so guests wont

even need to take a day o from work.

Next year, Carnival Spiritwill also operate her

rst Melbourne Cup cruise, an 8 night voyage

including three nights in Melbourne.

Vandekreeke said Carnival Cruise Lines was

strongly commied to the Australian market,

with internal research showing the brand

seems to have tapped into a huge deep well

of interest in cruising.

She said that CCL targets households with

a $75,000+ annual income, and in that arena

there are strong aspiraons to cruise despite

only about 30% of people actually having beenon board for a holiday.

Carnival Cruise Lines has made much of the

Aussicaon of its product, and Vandekreeke

said despite extensive preparaon, there was

sll some tweaking to be done aer Carnival

Spiritarrived for her rst season late last year.

Unlike their American counterparts, she said

that the cruise line has found that Australian

families actually like to spend me with their

children so the onboard product has been

completely changed to add more family

acvies and a rejig of dining mes.

Another key change has been thedevelopment of the on-board coee to suit

Australian tastes, Vandekreeke added.

So far, Carnival Cruise Lines has carried

55,000 passengers on its Australian cruises,

and that number is set to be hit out of the

ballpark with the extra capacity provided by

the Legenddeployment.

Carnival Legendwill arrive in Sydney on 23

September 2014, staying unl April 2015,

before returning for a second summer in

2015/16, with further details of the ships on-

board product available by the end of July.

Record Star Clipper programEIGHTY-FIVE European ineraries will be

hOW on earth did this happen?

A number of elephant seals that live o

the coast of California have been detected

as having trace symptoms of H1N1 swine u

virus that reached pandemic levels in 2009.

Sciensts studying the animals say it is the

rst me they have seen the u strain in a

sea animal, especially since the virus was

borne from, obviously not sea based, pigs.

University of California Wildlife Health

Centre associate professor Tracey Goldstein

was as perplexed as anyone, commenng

The seals on land in early 2010 tested

negave before they went to sea, but when

they returned from sea in spring 2010, they

tested posive - so the queson is, where

did it come from?

Waste released from shipping vessels

could be linked to a possible cause.

We thought we might nd inuenza

viruses, which have been found before in

marine mammals, but we did not expect to

nd pandemic H1N1, Goldstein said.

Cruise Weeklys guest expert, Adam

Armstrong from Royal Caribbean answers the

nal crop of your cruising-related queries.

When we were on Rhapsody of the Seas in

February, there were NO iPads in cabins. I

had read that during the refurbishment they

were installing them, but we didnt see any.

Can you please clarify.

Unfortunately we have had some technical

issues with the introducon of iPads on our

ships - so they are not yet available onboardRhapsody of the Seas. Sorry for the delay.

Do passengers ever get lost wandering

around your ships?

Somemes! Royal Caribbeans ships are the

largest in the world so weve come up with a

clever way to help our guests navigate their

way around - a digital Waynder system.

These are large touch-screen TVs located

in every staircase and they help guests

locate venues on the ship, as well as their

cabin; plus browse up-to-the-minute info

on acvies, news, menus and restaurant

availability. Theyre being rolled out acrossevery ship in our eet, and Rhapsody of the

Seas and Radiance of the Seas already have

them in Australia.

What are some of the most popular drinks

ordered on voyages?

That depends on who you ask! It also

depends on where the ship is sailing - and

our guest naonality. In our region the most

popular drinks are Australian wines and

beers - so we have a special Aussie beverage

list featuring selecons that you wouldnt get

on our ships elsewhere in the world. Theres

also a big queue at the coee shop everymorning onboard our local ships - our Aussie

guests enjoy a good barista coee!

Thanks again to Adam Armstrong from

Royal Caribbean for his insighul answers.

commanding port for almost all of Africa, Cape Town is poised tocapitali o th growig itrt i crui haig orth to thoc forbi la of Wt Africa a th Wtr Mitrraa.

A new, dedicated cruise terminal has been promised.

Like so many African ports, Cape Town began as a strategic andeconomic colonial outpost. Ironically, the port was established on the

trgth of glowig rport of th ba that rach th opportuiticDutch East India Company when one of their vessels, Haerlem,

foundered there in 1647. The attractive, fertile land and largelycooprativ ativ Hotttot abl a rfrhmt tatio to bt up i th 1650 to rvic th ma hip plig th tra rout

btw Holla a se Aia.As a direct result of its location, function and trac, a startlingly

diverse population gradually evolved, incorporating examples of the

many European, Asian and African cultures that were continuallytraversing its busy harbour. And so it remains today, with the so-

called Mother City truly the poster icon for South Africas rainbow

nation tagline.Whether you are beginning, ending or going ashore from your

cruise, Cape Town is a spectacular city to visit and a full day tour ispacked with stunning scenery, great food, wine & delightful people.

Most day tours will cover the key points of interest, namely

the southern hemisphere, established in the late 17th century. The

landscape, complete with eucalyptus trees, will remind many of theBarossa Valley of South Australia. The Capes Shiraz certainly rivalsth bt r from awhr dow Ur.

If you have more time to spare, UNESCO-listed Robben Island, the

Garden Route or Harmanus Whale Route are worth exploring. Who Goes There? Cape Towns superb deepwater port canaccommoat a iz vl. Th followig crui li iclu Cap

Staying There: From 5-star to B&B, Cape Town has plenty of

accommodation options, but for a real treat (you know youre worthit) check in to The Table Bay right in the middle of the plush V&A
