Hi everyone. I leave for Istanbul today to check out the Hotels in Istanbul and Athens, and get on the ship for 4 days. We are planning to have our pre and post trip packages ready by the end of October/early November. Flights cannot be booked until 11 months prior to the last day of trip so this should not affect your travel plans. We were looking at packages for flights, and it looks like you may do better to do this from the Internet. After some checking, we are seeing that prices will be averaging about $950 from NY, $1050 from Chicago and $1350 from LA or SF plus $300-$400 in taxes and fees. We do have a travel agent that will assist in getting you the best deals, (and some good deals for economy plus or business) for a small fee. More information will be sent on this as well.
Will have lots of photos and stories to share upon my return!
Jill
