Greetings From the TLC desk!
The Travelling Ladies Club membership has now exceeded 1200!
This provides us with the perfect opportunity to negotiate fantastic discounts on your behalf. These discounts apply to a large variety of tours and cruises including reductions on single supplements for solo travellers. We are certainly receiving a lot of very tempting offers for you to choose between in 2016 and have included some that we hope entice you in this edition of our newsletter.
If you are celebrating a special event and would like to arrange a group of family or friends to join you on a cruise or holiday we can also negotiate group discounts for you.
Another recent exciting development is that we are now able to advertise Australia wide for ladies to share a cabin on many cruise ships.
Keep us in mind when planning your next adventure, as we are always happy to assist you in finding the perfect holiday!
Kind regards,
Ruth, Anne, Kay, Pam, Robyn, Judy and all the team at Andrew Jones Travel.
