Also, there are no fees or late charges, while payments are always flexible to suit your own budget. We recommend payments be made by direct deposit for your convenience and to further reduce your bank fees.
Most importantly, all your Layby payments are protected at all times by Australia's Travel Compensation Fund.
Your cruise specialist is an expert on layby plans and can answer all your questions! Australian cruise/travel agencies are required to display their physical office address which consumers can view and verify in Google Maps.
If you can't find it on their website and communications, then chances are they hiding something from you.
At best they are a backyard operation with limited resources, difficult to track down when things go wrong.
Consumers are warned to stay away from any booking agency that doesn't display their business address - it's just not worth the risk!

Asian Legacies Cruise
Voyager of the Seas - 5 nights ex Shanghai, China
Past Sailing
Be spoiled on the Voyager of the Seas experiencing 5 unforgettable nights aboard the Asian Legacies Cruise through the waters of Asia. Your ship embarks from Shanghai with an itinerary that includes 4 ports in 3 countries before returning to Shanghai. This 4 star voyage from Royal Caribbean Cruises has forward departures, but is unfortunately sold out for this departure.
| Day | Date | Port of call | Arrival | Departure |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thu 28 Jun 2012 | Shanghai, China | 5.00pm | |
 Shanghai, located at the middle part of the coast of mainland China at the mouth of the Yangtze River, is the most populous city in the Peoples Republic. It is the largest centre of commerce and finance in mainland China, and has truly become the show-piece of the world’s fastest growing major economy, a new city that is sophisticated, innovative and living a life it has never lived before.
Nanjing Road is Shanghai’s world-famous shopping paradise, but there are great shopping districts throughout the city, and taxi fares are very reasonable. Enjoy visiting the many beautiful museums and theatres, including the Shanghai Art Museum or the Natural History Museum and then perhaps take a ride on the world’s first magnetic levitation train. There are also beautiful parks and temples to be enjoyed. The city is a tourist destination renowned for its historical landmarks such as the Bund and the City god Temple, and its ever-expanding Pudong skyline including the Oriental Pearl Tower. Shanghai is the hotspot of modern China, a cosmopolitan city buzzing with the concept of lifestyle revolution, showcased in the architectural temples of art, fine dining and contemporary urban living. Enjoy your visit to this scintillating city, swirling with rapid cultural change. more/less... |

| 3 | Sat 30 Jun 2012 | Fukuoka, Japan | 8.00am | 10.00pm |
 Fukuoka, the capital of the Prefecture of the same name, is located on Kyushu Island in Japan, and spreads out around scenic Hakata Bay. It is a delightful city with its attractive coastlines, shrines and relics of the aborted Mongolian invasion. Surrounded by mountains and sea and an untouched natural environment, every visitor is assured of finding something to truly enjoy.
Look out for the numerous local festivals and traditional events, thoroughly enjoy the shopping – watch out for the popular clay souvenirs, appreciate the historical monuments, and particularly enjoy the great food that makes Fukuoka a renowned gourmet’s paradise. Of historical and cultural interest is the Kyushu National Museum with its fascinating modern facade, which reflects its use of technology (for example its extremely high resolution system video system) and elevates the focus on history over art. A short trip from the city centre takes visitors to an abundance of high quality hot springs. Here you can immerse your whole body in the healing water and emerge completely refreshed. The city's unique style is its blend of a big-city feel, with beautiful natural spaces of lush green parks. There's certainly no shortage of things to do and see. more/less... |

| 4 | Sun 1 Jul 2012 | Nagasaki, Japan | 8.00am | 5.00pm |
 Nagasaki City, on the island of Kyushu in Japan, lies at the heart of Nagasaki-hanto Peninsula, and is a port city that developed itself up along the steep slope of a mountain, while it also stretched horizontally to hug the Nagasaki Gulf. Nagaski is best known for being the second and to date last city in the world to be subject to nuclear attack.
Reminders of this fact are reflected in the many sights tourists visit in connection with this disaster. These include the Nagasaki Peace Park and nearby Atomic bomb Hypocentre, Atomic Bomb Museum, Museum of History and Culture, Atomic Bomb Hypocentre, and the National Peace Memorial Hall for the Atomic Bomb Victims, all of which are designed to appeal to the desire for peace in the world. There are numerous other places of interest including some fine shopping centres such as the You-me Plaza, AMYU Plaza, and Cocowalk. Add to this the Penguin Aquarium, Science Museum, a variety of shrines, O-ura Tenshudo Christian church - built in 1864, Mount Inasa, and several beautiful parks and you are sure to begin to get a feel for, and an understanding of, this dramatically changed and rebuilt city. more/less... |

| 5 | Mon 2 Jul 2012 | Cheju, South Korea | 7.00am | 1.00pm |
 Cheju, a city on an island of the same name, is a beautiful destination, located off the SW coast of South Korea. A volcanic island, with good rainfall and mild climate, results in its being known as Koreas Hawaii. A good road system and rental cars allow for ease in visiting the entire island.
There is a wide range of activities for visitors such as hiking in Hallasan National Park – with South Koreas highest peak, Mt.Halla-san (1,950 m.), and other well-known trails, viewing majestic waterfalls, riding horses, or simply relaxing on the sandy beaches. Ancient relics, some deemed to be from the stone age, and others through time, make visits to numerous sites such as the Ville pond of Ouum-ri, Gosan-ri, and Sangmo-ri, simply fascinating to many, who are impressed by the mystery of the island. Other places of interest include the Sangumburi Crater 350 m across and 100 m deep with its unique grave sites, Manjanggul, one of the longest lava tubes in the world, and Manjang Cave with its rare species, and investigate the fascinating use of Jeju Olle hiking trail system. Enjoy the duty free shopping, fascinating souvenirs, and you won't be surprised that the locals call their home the Island of the Gods. more/less... |
