WE AT Reader Travel have been waiting eagerly for the Page & Moy cruising brochure for 2006. It arrived this week.

Once again The Ocean Majesty and Black Prince have been chosen as the exclusive chartered ships. Favourites such as Fjordland Splendour and St Petersburg and the Baltics are firmly in place.

However, Page & Moy is also offering exciting new cruises such as Madeira, Morocco and the treasures of Andalucia plus Istanbul, the Crimea and the treasures of Greece.

The itineraries have been chosen to take you to fascinating ports of call with many excursions available. There are five ports in the UK from which you can sail, and local pick-ups are available on many trips, including from York.

We have always received positive feedback on the food and entertainment, which is predominantly British.

Some people are put off by the thought of cruising, but regular cruisers will confirm that there is a wealth of entertainment on board.

You can spend your days however you like: soaking up the sun on deck, enjoying a beauty treatment or working out in the gym. The ship really comes into its own at night when there is a glittering array of entertainment. Have a flutter in the casino, enjoy the cabaret or select a live act performing in one of the many bars.

Page & Moy cruises for 2006 start from £699 for eight days. To make your booking call 01904 567123. Or order a brochure on our 24-hour hotline on 01904 567124.
