Every day’s a Carnival

Carnival Sunshine, re-entering service in April 2013 following a massive and comprehensive refurbishment, brings the Carnival brand and values - fun, fun and fun - to Mediterranean fly-cruising.

More than 100,000 tonnes, Sunshine is big in every way - on cabin and dining and entertainment options, and big-hearted in her approach to couples and families. Fly-cruising from Barcelona and Venice, Sunshine will sail 9, 12 and 14 night itineraries throughout Summer 2013.

REVITALISED

FOR

2013

Sunshine Highlights Carnival Sunshine is replete with new and exciting features - amongst them:

New to the Med in April 2013 Superb Accommodation There's a distinctive tropical theme to the newly-refurbished cabins aboard Carnival Sunshine and there are also nearly 200 brand new cabins aboard. Fancy a spa cabin? No problem! If you're cruising on a budget, then there's an interior cabin to suit - and of course lots of cabins offer balconies, too.

Camp Carnival Exclusively for kids, it features fabulous fun play areas - for ages 2-11, whilst the Circle “C” is a favourite hang-out for early teens and Club O2 is the place for 15-17 year-olds.

Dazzling Dining New dining options on Carnival Sunshine will appeal to the full range of guests from laid-back and casual Guy's Burger Joint and the Blue Iguana Cantina serving Mexican treats such as burritos and tacos (with, by the way, tortillas made fresh on board), to Fahrenheit 555 (carrying a dining supplement) - the all-American steak-house, and conceived out of Carnival's very popular 'carnivorium' concept on other vessels. Cucina del Capitano, with its 24/7 section -and finally Pizzeria del Capitano, brings an Italian dimension to the ship.

A Day in the Life ... aboard Carnival Sunshine, on its 9 and 12 day Mediterranean itineraries from Barcelona and Venice, could draw you to the pool deck (with its unique three-deck Serenity area - just for grown-ups. Or, it might take you to SportSquare, with its ropes course and mini-golf, jogging route, ping pong and pool. WaterWorks majors on its popular Twister water slides, a 1,000 litre drenching bucket and Splash Zone - an exciting water-fun place for the kids.

Of course, throughout the ship there are also shops and coffee shops, nooks and crannies galore.

Destination Spotlight

Beautiful Hawaii Hawaii - is one of the world’s dream destinations and a cruise is the ultimate way to discover the beautiful Hawaiian Islands.

Famous in the movies and TV, Hawaii boasts some of the world’s very best beaches and water sports. Descend beneath the waves and the shore opens up a visual paradise of coral and tropical fish, whilst inland the awe-inspiring sight of an erupting volcano is an experience not to be missed. A place of stark contrasts, too – with snowboarding at the peaks, rainforest hiking below, and vibrant nightlife beckoning as sunset comes.

Honolulu and Hilo are amongst the most enjoyed destinations of cruise guests in Hawaii.

Fine sand, volcanic fire ultimately exotic Hawaii...

LAS VEGAS STAY & HAWAII CRUISE Mar 13 - Apr 14 • 18 nights Flying from London On board Golden Princess It's a world away, in more ways than one, and whether your choice is to cruise from there, or enjoy Hawaii as a port of call on a cruise from the west coast of the USA, there are endless options to stop off en route and strike a contrast or chill out. Honolulu - perhaps Hawaii's most celebrated city - is a vibrant mix of the exotic, the familiar (from movies and TV) and city life the world over. It will reward a couple of nights' stay with a kaleidoscope of experiences.

Combine your Hawaii cruise with a USA city stay On the west coast - three iconic destinations beckon for an en route stopover.

Historic, relaxed, new-age San Francisco, from the Bay Bridge to the downtown Fisherman's Wharf, is perhaps THE city in which to chill and thrill. High energy Los Angeles, from Santa Monica Beach to the stars' handprints of Hollywood and the glorious excesses of Beverley Hills, speaks for themselves. And, undoubtedly the most popular stopover for cruisers en route to Hawaii is glittering Las Vegas a thousand points of light in the desert of Nevada. Las Vegas has brought fortune and mis-fortune to gamblers through the years, but today it offers the warmest of welcomes and, of course, breath taking excitement. Vegas is one of those destinations that has justifiably earned the comment that 'everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime!’

Of course, your personal Cruise Concierge will help you to select your perfect Hawaii cruise and stay – give them a call today for many more options.

She is bigger, better equipped and more diverse, with more extensive guest accommodation and facilities. Norwegian Epic is full of character, with a myriad of activity, dining and entertainment features and a unique, exclusive courtyard area with beautiful Suites and Villas in The Haven by Norwegian™, a ultra-luxurious complex of accommodation located at the top of the ship. Look forward to an ‘Epic’ experience, even if you are a solo traveller - this ship is wonderful for couples, families and single guests alike.

‘Epic’ Highlights

Entertainment

From the ultra-cool Mandara Spa & Fitness Centre to the super-fun Aqua Park with its waterslides, Norwegian Epic is replete with spa and sports facilities.

No fewer than 23 dining choices await Norwegian Epic’s guests - ranging from the main dining rooms and outdoor grill, through favourites like steak, Italian and French, to ultimately exotic Teppanyaki and Churrascaria.

Comedy, jazz and casino - as you would expect, but also on Norwegian Epic, the quirky Blue Man Group, Legends in Concert® and a mind-boggling dinner show - Cirque Dreams®. Shipboard entertainment re-imagined!

Why choose a RiverCruise?

Cruising, it’s well known, is the fastest growing holiday choice for Brits, and river cruising is proving ever more popular with new and experienced cruisers alike. The smaller, more intimate ships that carry super-relaxed guests along the rivers and waterways of Europe sail through an intriguing, constantly changing panorama – often almost within touching distance of the shore, and always with a gentler, more chilled-out feel. This is the ultimate in hassle-free holiday experiences – a comfortable cabin, restaurant and lounge literally just a few steps away, as the spectacle rolls by!

A Palette Of Colour, Sight And Sound Holland + The Bulbfields Perhaps the most fascinating and memorable amongst river cruise itineraries is a trip through Holland – setting off from laid-back and cosmopolitan Amsterdam and sailing through the verdant Dutch countryside - and there’s no better time to experience it than when the world-famous Dutch bulb fields are in glorious full bloom, in March and April. The energy of Amsterdam’s bustling streets and busy canals gives way to whirling windmills and emerald pastures and in seemingly no time at all, to the extravagant palette of colour provided by the carpet of tulips in the Keukenhof Gardens. An equally memorable pause en route will be in one of Holland’s quaint old towns – such as the former fishing port of Volendaam.

Why choose a River Cruise?

Small intimate ships

Relaxed dining experience

Experience the Dutch bulb fields in glorious full bloom

Three favourite river cruise ships – each with its own unique character – offer particularly memorable cruises through Holland. The 3 star Lady Anne and Amsterdam, and the 4 star Switzerland II from The River Cruise Line, offer a variety of cabins - each furnished with en suite facilities, and on each ship there is a lounge bar and restaurant. The cruises featured in this edition of Making Waves include breakfast, lunch and dinner, and some superb added value services. On Switzerland 2, it’s ‘all-inclusive’ – so the bar is complimentary and on all three ships excursions worth up to £60 are included.

Interesting ports of call

Travelling to and from Amsterdam is also relaxed and hassle-free as part of these featured cruises. A modern executive coach is waiting to whisk guests from a local departure town to the port of Hull or Dover for the comfortable overnight crossing to Amsterdam. And, of course, once aboard ship the sights and sounds; the colours and experiences move gently past at a serene pace.

Touching distance of the shore All in all, river cruising is every bit as memorable as big ship ocean cruising but more leisurely and with its own unique attractions!

See page 34 for our hand-picked river cruise star buys.
