CRUISE & Maritime Voyages’ MV Astor continues to impress the ocean-going Australian public with its onboard luxury from its summertime home in Fremantle, with this group of home-based Personal Travel Managers recently seeing it for themselves. The group were in attendance at a special “Welcome to Port” ceremony at the WA dock, which was also attended by WA Tourism Minister Liza Harvey, Fremantle Mayor Brad Pettitt and a number of other high-profile dignitiaries. Following a site inspection of Astor’s onboard splendours and some of its 620 cabins, the TravelManagers PTMs enjoyed an overnight stay on the ship. Their evening included a cocktail function, dinner, seats at a spellbinding show & a deck party that took the group into the wee hours of the next morning. Cruise sales for TravelManagers business is up 52%, boosted by the ongoing success of the dedicated CruiseManagers brand. “Having the ability to experience first-hand the MV Astor makes all the difference. The crew were outstanding and I can now talk about the facilities and on-board amenities with confidence,” TravelManagers representative for Bayswater Michelle Nikolich said. Season 2014/15 will be the first of at least three Astor will make its summer home in Fremantle, operating sailings around Australia and also to Indonesia.
