Good deal on Queen Victoria

[bazzaw]

Got an email yesterday for a 31 day cruise from Sydney on Cunard's QV for $3100 inside cabin.

 

The only problem is that it is for a latish February sailing and a visa for China would be required, so don't know if there would be time for that.

 

Anybody who lives in Sydney and MAY be able to get a visa in time - this would be a very cheap opportunity to try out a beautiful ship.

 

Catch 22 /Chicken or the egg situation though - you wouldn't want to book and pay for the cruise without the visa - and you don't really know IF you can get a Visa in time

Does it come back to Sydney?

Does it come back to Sydney?

 

No -- it is a segment of QV's World Cruise.

The China visa is fairly quick by mail through the Brisbane office.

www.visaforchina.com.au

 

We are on Diamond Princess leaving 8th March & putting off applying until end of Jan. due to 3 month validity for cruise passengers.

Plenty of info on Rollcall - 22nd Feb. Auckland to Beijing.

Hi Barry

 

We did a 28 day segment of world cruise on QV (and loved it) that included China.

 

It only took us one week turn around to get the visa so if you are interested I am sure you will be fine.

 

Regards

Hey Barry

 

I think ours only took a week or so. They have a visa office in a building right beside Comm Bank in Adelaide St in the city. Luckily I work nearly across the road, next to City Hall.
