ENJOY the trip of a lifetime by combining the Australian Open with a five-star cruise.
While Britain shivers through another bleak, grey January, the world’s sporting elite will be heading Down Under for the blistering sunshine and electric atmosphere of the Australian Open.
If you’re planning on getting tickets to the first Grand Slam of the year, why fly 24 hours for just a few days of tennis?
Now you can turn that dream trip into the ultimate holiday of a lifetime.
We’ve teamed up with the cruise experts at Iglu Cruise to offer a “deuce” of a deal.
This trip-of-a-lifetime combines the high-octane thrill of the tennis in Melbourne with the five-star luxury of a champion’s cruise.
The Rod Laver Arena is the main venue for the Australian Open tennis tournament, located in Melbourne Park.
It is the largest of the courts, features a retractable roof, and hosts the most significant matches, including the finals.
After the tennis, you can then sample the delights of the Southern Hemisphere.
Whether you choose to sail on the magnificent Crown Princess or the ultra-luxury, all-inclusive Regent Seven Seas Navigator, this is a first-class upgrade.
But you’ll have to be quick.
The final booking dates are just before Christmas.
