Older Australians cruising longerOver 85% of baby boomers take cruises
of 12 days or more, according to Australias
eading cruise specialist.
An analysis by 2013 Best Travel Agency of
he Year, Adelaides Phil Homann Travel, has
ound that the vast majority of its customers
are cruising for longer than ever before.
According to the company, more than 85%
of its clients travel 12 days or longer on cruise
packages.
While the typical cruise holiday for boomers
was previously ve to 10 days, its now being
stretched out anywhere up to one month or
100 days, said Peter Williams, chief execuve
ocer of Phil Homann Travel.
This is a result of the inclusivity of pricing
and ease of travelling that cruising provides.
Williams added that rered people, with
both me and money on their hands,
appreciated the value of all-inclusive packages
that take care of ights, transfers, food and
entertainment.
According to Williams, the recent fall in theAustralian dollar had not weakened demand
for overseas cruises.
Regardless of the Australian dollar, most
places in which boomers are choosing to visit
have at economies at the moment so theyre
actually geng beer travel rates, he said.
The Mediterranean, Northern Europe and
Canada and Alaska were deemed the most
popular desnaons for baby boomers, with
river cruising in Europe becoming one of the
faster growing segments on the market.
Emerging cruising desnaons for the
Australian market include Panana Canal,Hawaii, Tahi and Antarcca.
Phil Homann, the companys managing
director, also said cruising was booming
because of the greater range of choice.
Baby boomer travellers can now choose
between a 60-passenger ship and a
5,000-passenger ship, and there are many
more being built and coming onto the market.
Its certainly raised the bar for what cruising is
all about.
Mega Queen Mary 2 discountsSignificant savings of up to $10,000 are
available for part of, or the enre Australian
circumnavigaon by the Queen Mary 2 during
her 2014 visit, if booked by 31 Oct.
Sectors of her 23-night journey are available
from Perth, Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane,
with the enre journey deparng Sydney
priced from $5,409pp twin share.

Royal Caribbean consolidationrOyal Caribbean Cruise Lines has announced
it will gradually implement a restructure to
some aspects of the organisaon over the
coming year, which will see its eleven global
contact centres consolidated down into three.
The global cruising giant cited the need
to address eciency challenges that are
common in any business that has experienced
rapid global expansion.
Call centres for both consumer and travel
agent queries will be taken over by an external
partner, with a number of other departments
to be centralised or regionalised.
RCCL said its proposal is likely to mean
some redundancies however it is unclear at
this stage how this restructure will aect the
operaons of its Australian oces.
We are currently working through the
details, including specics about the number
of jobs that will be aected, the company told
Cruise Weeklyin a statement.
However, we believed it was important to
share this informaon with our sta at this
stage and we have promised the team further
updates as more details become available.
The line plans to appoint individual managing
directors for each of its three brands, those
being Royal Caribbean Internaonal, Celebrity
Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises.*Condton appl. Contact APT o ll tm & condton. Atalan Pacfc Ton Pt LtdABN 44 004 684 619 Lc. No. 30112 MKT11778
