Your Chance To Have A Say, Monday 20 October 2014
For those of you who have been considering joining us at our 2015 Tour Launch and our 2016 Tour Preview but have been wondering whether it is worth it then here are 5 reasons to come ..
1. Hear It From The Experts. In addition to hearing from us what is going to be happening we have a couple of our indutry partners coming down to talk about our tour as well as their associated products. So if you were considering a European Tour, A Rhone Cruise or a trip through the USA or Canada this is your chance to get to speak with someone that specialises in those destinations.
2. First Choice of Upcoming Programmes. Some of the 2015 Tours we are running have limited spaces and varying pricing options, by coming along you get the opportunity to have first grab at any specials that are available .
3. Have Your Say. With our 2016 Tour programmes these are in what we call the developmental stage – so this is your chance to tell us what you would like to see included. With our trip to Egypt you may think we need to add Abu Simbel, or you may feel that joining a Gregorian Mass whilst in Rome on our Italy trip is appropriate – then this is your opportunity to let us know.
4. Discover The Future. We realise that many people don’t have a lot of money to drop on a tour that is happening in the next month or two .. by attending our launch you can get a feel for what s coming and prepare, we can even help organise scheduled or regular payments for those wanting to ensure they can get away.
5. Learn What Is Possible. One of the things that irk us is when people say .. Oh I can’t do something because .. I’m to Old, I have trouble walking, I don’t have someone to Travel with, and any number of other excuses. Sometimes what stops someone from doing something is more in the mind than the body. HHave you, for example, ever wanted to visit Africa but been worried that because you are less mobile it would be hard to get around? consider this .. if you can climb into a 4WD, Jeep or Van than you can get out there and do that Wildlife Tour you always wanted. In almost any situation there is a way we can help you discover the destination you desire.
So why not come and join us?

Relax, Rewind, Revive with Shoalhaven Solo Sisters
Everyone needs from time to time a chance to kick back, unwind and relieve themselves of the stresses of day to day lives. Sometimes though this doesn’t happen when one stays at home – things crop up and you end up spending your downtime being so busy you don’t end up feeling relaxed by the time you are due to head back to the grind.
To that end we have a fantastic trip guaranteed to relax and revive. A dash of humour starts off our little getaway as we depart on a four day comedy cruise from Sydney to Auckland. We follow this up with some pure indulgence in New Zealand itself, first sampling some of the famed New Zealand Wines, then taking off to Rotorua for a Traditional Maori Cultural experience and a fantastic spa package at Hells Gate – Massage, facial, thermal walk, mud soak and spa.
Comedy, Wine and Spa – What more is needed to truly relax!
So if you want to pamper yourself, a friend, or a partner, if you want to truly relax and rewind

Hong Kong – A Shopping Tour, Not Just for the Ladies
Now, we realise that we have often (and repeatedly) stressed that the main focus of all our trips and tours are for the single ladies who wish to travel but who don’t have anyone to travel with. This is, in essence, totally true. This is not though, wholly whom our market is. All our group departures, Hong Kong, Europe, Canada, Norfolk .. wherever, are built not just for us to match single travellers up, but for couples, or friends who are looking to get away in good company.
Now our upcoming Tour to Hong Kong (labelled as a shopping tour) is indeed focused towards the shopaholic, in part, we have left plenty of free time for shopping, and our day tours to Macau and Shenzen will spend some time taking in the best shopping in those areas. There are though a number of inclusions and things to do for those whom shopping holds no thrall.
Our first major day in Hong Kong after arrival for example we don’t spend shopping, we spend the day taking in the Highlights of Hong Kong, followed by an evening Junk Cruise and a fantastic traditional dinner. Later in the Week we take you our for a night at the Happy Valley Racecourse, and even the trips to Shenzen and Macau take in a number of cultural and historic sites before our “shopping visits”.
Now, whilst many of the travellers may end up visiting the shopping malls and retail centres during the free days, there is plenty for those not interested in shopping to do. There are any number of cultural and historic sights visited not in the day tours, there are Art, Maritime and Heritage Museums, there is always Disneyland for the adventurous, and a number of parks and reserves, Golf Courses, walking trails, scuba diving and more.
Hong Kong is a perfect introductory stop for those who are thinking or a longer tour through China, or for those who are considering a trip to somewhere in Asia but want a smoother introduction than a few weeks in Nepal, India or Cambodia.
Right now we can offer our package at AU$3397 per person share twin, which is a discount of AU$572 from the published rate you will see if you go to the tour page. So if an introduction to the Orient interests you, be you a single looking for someone to travel with, a pair of mates, or a couple looking for an easy going getaway .. then get in touch with us today.

Pre-Sale Offer: Canada & Alaska and European River Cruise Groups. Limited Time Availability
PRESALE ON NOW!!!!!
As many of you know we have 2 special departures coming up in 2015 that have been asked for since we were even in the pre-launch stage of the Shoalhaven Solo Sisters. A European River Cruise up the Danube and a Voyage in Canada taking in the Inside Passage and the Rocky Mountains. At this stage we are technically too far out to confirm group costs .. but after some lengthy talks and discussions we have come up with some fantastic “pre-sale offers”.
So what are the pre-sale offers? For a limited time we have access to an early offer cost, including fly free deals, and other inclusions. These deals are usually a bit better in price than an early-bird, and by booking and depositing whilst the Pre-sale fares are in, you can guarantee your place at those special rates rather than paying “full price”later on.
