Late availability on cricket and cruise deals with Sydney Test tickets

IT’S not too late to bag some last-minute tickets to see The Ashes in Australia this winter.

And cricket fans can tack on a sensational cruise to their trip Down Under to transform their holiday to a tip of a lifetime.

With England set to battle the Aussies in the crucial Fifth Test in Sydney, tour operators are offering the ultimate all-in-one holidays. 

Iglu Cruise has unveiled a series of packages combining return flights, a hotel stay in Sydney, and a cruise, with a guaranteed ticket to the Test match included.

Punters can swerve the accommodation and ticket scramble by booking a bundle that sorts their entire trip. 

The deals include return flights from the UK, a three-night stay in a central Sydney hotel, all your transfers, and a ticket to one of the first three days of the Test.
