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.

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.

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,

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

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

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
