Shearings offers new cruises for 2010
Shearings is expanding its holiday offering with a selection of new sea cruises for 2010.
Holidaymakers can choose from a diverse range of 23 cruises including Scandinavia, the Northern Waters, the Mediterranean or the Black Sea.
Shearings has teamed up with All Leisure Group's Voyages of Discovery to offer the collection of cruises, ranging from 8 to 16 days, as well as some Grand Voyages up to 28 days. Customers can choose from a choice of fly cruises or no-fly cruises departing from Harwich port.
Commercial director for Shearings, Caroline Brown, said: "Our customers are expanding their horizons and are looking for more adventure at the same time as great value which is why we’ve increased our offering and now have our biggest ever collection of cruises.
“Each of our sea cruises offers the chance to explore breathtaking sights as well as learning the fascinating history and culture of the destinations along the way, with captivating expert speakers on every voyage.
“We’ve also made our cruises easy to join with free coach transfers on the no-fly cruises and fly cruises from Gatwick or Manchester.”
Shearings’ no-fly cruises include a free transfer service to and from Harwich port from locations across the country, or for extra convenience passengers can be picked up from their home by booking the ‘Home Connect’ service.
Prices start at £749 for an eight-day no fly Norwegian Fjords cruise departing from Harwich, including coach transfers.
The new sea cruise brochure follows the launch of three new 2010 brochures including 30 new UK tours, 12 new European itineraries and 34 river cruise holidays across 14 ships.
