Dear Clients and Travelers,

Kelly Cruises has good news for 2008 and 2009! I have so much to be excited about and I want to share my enthusiasm with all of you. With 30 years of experience I continue to be an optimist when it comes to travel.

In this issue of the Cruise Observer, we are highlighting World Cruises, which have increased in popularity over the last few years. You may remember “Around the World in 80 Days” well, how about around the world in 116 days or even 131 days!

There is greater value in a cruise vacation than any other alternative travel. With so many Free Air or Air Inclusive specials, 2 for 1 Fares, Pre-paid Gratuities and our own Kelly Cruises Exclusive Amenities, including Shipboard Credits and Shore Excursions, we can offer our clients incredible value and amenities on their cruise vacation. We offer substantial value in Europe cruising, as everything can be purchased in U.S. dollars, protecting you from the ever increasing Euro! My expertise on Europe Cruising will be featured in this month’s issue of Money Magazine.

Cruise Lines are offering newer ships, more sailings and longer cruises in 2008 – 2009. There will be ten ships on the horizon offering World Cruises in 2009. Explore the endless opportunities cruising to the most exotic and fascinating destinations by selecting a segment or two of these longer cruises. We hope you’ll open your mind to the possibility of experiencing such a trip. When you consider the per diem cost and factor in everything that’s included, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. In this issue you’ll find it’s possible to sail around the world for 131 days for as little as $180 per person per day on Holland America’s Rotterdam and that includes accommodations, meals, entertainment, government taxes, fuel surcharges and transfers. Kelly Cruises will also offer a $1000 Visa Card for an Inside Stateroom; $1,400 for an Outside Stateroom or a $1,600 for a Balcony or Suite on the Rotterdam World Cruise.

Last fall my husband Ed and I hosted a fun group of Kelly Cruises’ clients aboard the Crystal Serenity for a Crystal Cruise to the Mediterranean. It was such a memorable trip that we promised we would do another in 2009. After looking over all the itineraries, we selected an 11-day British Isles Cruise on the Crystal Symphony sailing Aug. 23rd to Sept. 3, 2009. Highlights of this cruise include two full days in Edinburgh, Scotland with an opportunity to experience the world-famous Military Tattoo held outside the Edinburgh Castle under the stars. It’s awesome! Ireland will extend its warm welcome to us in Belfast, Dublin and Waterford. A day in Liverpool and the charming port of Guernsey in England make this itinerary very special. There are three relaxing days at sea for uninterrupted relaxation and Crystal Cruises’ famous pampering. A Golf Theme is the frosting on the cake for golfers on the British Isles Cruise. We are accepting reservations for this cruise now. We will also be offering special amenities to our group, so please contact us for further details!  Click here to view more details.

Thank you all for your business…past, present and future. As always, we look forward to the pleasure of taking good care of you.

Warm Regards,

Nancy Kelly
President, Kelly Cruises
