Aug 25, 2009 - Sept 7, 2009 - 12-Night Northern Europe Cruise
THE PITTSBURGH CLUB CRUISE FOR 2009 will be on the Norwegian Jewel August 25 to September 7, 2009. The 12-night Northern Europe cruise will begin in Dover (London) and will stop in Copenhagen, Berlin, Talinn, St. Petersburg, Helsinki, and Stockholm. We’ll also enjoy 4 full days at sea. The rates run $3227 for an inside cabin, $3587 for Ocean view and $4127 for a Balcony and includes round-trip motor coach to/from Orlando airport, round-trip air on United Airlines, the cruise, all taxes, and fees. We will have a cocktail party with open bar and hot and cold hors devours. The Norwegian Jewel holds 2240 passengers and was built for “free-style” cruising. This concept gives the most flexibility since there is no prescribed dinner time and no specific attire, i.e., “resort casual” is all you need to do; formal attire is optional. A $500 per person deposit is requested ASAP. Anyone wishing more information or application for this event, please call Joan Lasky at 753-6132. This cruise is available for anyone interested, so feel free to invite your friends or neighbors to be a part of our group and enjoy all the benefits of group travel. THOSE MAKING RESERVATIONS IN JANUARY WILL ENJOY A SHIP BOARD CREDIT OF $50 FOR AN INSIDE ROOM, $100 FOR OCEANVIEW AND $150 FOR A BALCONY ROOM.
