2007 World Cup Cricket Cruise Aboard Celebrity Cruise's Galaxy
Coconut Creek, Florida (PRWeb) February 26, 2007 --
The Cricket World Cup Series is just around the corner in April 2007. It is being held in the beautiful Caribbean. But getting between islands to watch your team will be a challenge. The big jets don't do the inter-island hops. Can you imagine flying from island to island in tiny little planes to get from one stadium to the next. Can you imagine the long lines, the delays, the cancelled flights the lost luggage?
South African businessman Richard Ford thought about this logistical challenge one July evening in 2005. Richard has over ten years of experience as a captain of big ships sailing the Caribbean. He realized what a fantastic opportunity this would be. Combine two of the best experiences, Cricket and Cruising, in the exquisite Caribbean. After many negotiations he has chartered one of the very best luxury ships. He chose Celebrity Cruise lines and specifically the Galaxy, which is considered by Conde Nast Travel Magazine to be one the top ten cruise ships in the world. The itinerary took months to plan and refine and it is spectacular. You unpack once, you sail at night, then arrive the next day and getting from the ship to the stadium and back will be a leisurely stroll.
If your partner is not as crazy about cricket as you are, "The Galaxy" is the perfect solution. You can spend the day at the pool, work out at the gym play on the golf simulator or relax in the spa. Enjoy the superb restaurants, elegant lounges, clubs, casino and cafes. You could catch up with the rest of the world, each day at the onboard internet station. And who knows, you might be so lulled into this luxurious life, you might even be tempted to watch the cricket from the luxury of the ship on the big screen, with cocktail in hand.
Aboard the 2007 World Cup Cricket Cruise are cricket stars, celebrities, comedians and entertainers from all over the world, including Britain, South Africa, Australia, India and the US. Theme evenings are very popular on cruise ships and there will be several of those as well as string quartets and extravaganzas.
The buffets and five course dinners aboard "Galaxy" are legendary and will be embellished with ice-carvings representative of the day's play. Richard has thought of every touch from the big grand gestures to the smallest details to make this the cruise you will never forget. The Galaxy and the Caribbean makes for the ultimate cricket cruise
The Galaxy is worth going on even if it is just to visit the islands. There is Antigua with its 365 beaches, and Granada with its spice and sugar plantations. Sophisticated Barbados is still thought of as part of the Empire with its Victorian architecture and museums. St Lucia is snorkelers paradise and Dominica is unspoilt and rugged. You can imagine the Pirates and Buccaneers of long ago slipping their ships into the tiny coves and cays.
Reservations have taken off, particularly from the Australians, who have been very bullish. They of course believe that they are going to win. The 13 day cruise is filling up really quickly. The cricket cruise website gives you all the different cruise options. The most costly one is the longest one, but there are several other choices. I asked Richard which cruise he would choose if he had restricted time and budget, and he said "make sure that you are in Granada for the 10th April cricket match where South Africa plays the West Indies. This will be one of the most exciting games. You cannot imagine the excitement in the air. I was there when South Africa played several years ago and it was one of the most exciting and unforgettable experiences that I have ever had"
