Go To Gallipoli With The Luxury Holiday Co

With only a year to go until the 100th anniversary of the World War I battle for Gallipoli, it is time to be thinking of making a booking, or you will definitely miss out. The Luxury Holiday Company, along with The Innovative Travel Company, have put together a fantastic package for this never to be repeated event. This is your opportunity to join an epic cruise, which is a private charter, following the Anzac battle from Lemnos to the Dardanelles.

Highlights include a Dawn Service on board which will feature the exquisite voice of soprano Dame Malvina Major, and captivating and informed narratives from the on-board international team of Gallipoli Experts – covering Australian, New Zealand and Turkish perspectives.

The Gallipoli package of eleven days from 17th to 27th April, includes transfers from Athens Airport to the hotel and the port, overnight in Athens, including breakfast, a welcome function and a half-day sightseeing tour. The cruise provides nine nights’ accommodation on-board the deluxe cruise ship, MS Azamara Journey with all meals included and a tender to the Gallipoli Peninsula for those holding official ballot tickets. This cruise also includes all tours and entry fees to museums as per the itinerary and National Park entry and guiding fees and professional local tour guides.

Passengers will step back in time to 1915 with guided tours of Anzac Cove, Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair, plus the Turkish and British areas. After breakfast, you will join the Anzac land tour aboard the coach to make the Gallipoli pilgrimage. Evocative sites such as Anzac Cove, Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair are highlights among the tour destinations.

Attendance at commemorations will be decided through the Anzac Ballot, but the Gallipoli centenary is about more than these few moments. Passengers with and without tickets will experience an evocative commemoration and the chance to watch history unfold. For those balloted, you will be tendered to the Dawn Ceremony. Plans for this currently include attendance at the Dawn Service and at Chunuk Bair (times and services are subject to final confirmation). Many across the Gallipoli Peninsular will still take part in the 100th anniversary. For those remaining on board, the ship will be moored in the Dardanelles as near as possible to Anzac Cove (with final location subject to the Turkish authorities).

Early registration is essential to secure a place for this one in a lifetime event. For further information please visit the website at http://www.luxuryholidaycompany.co.nz.
