RETAIL cruise brand
Cruiseabout will operate bowls
cruises and become the exclusive
retail travel agency for Bowls
Australia following a two-year
partnership with the sport’s
governing body.
The pair up will be promoted on
The Bowls Show on SBS and over
the next four episodes, national
coach Steve Glasson will front
segments about the cruising
experience and upcoming
dedicated bowls sailings.
The seven-night Beaches,
Bowls and the Barrier Reef is the
first of the bowls departures,
departing Brisbane on 24 Sep for
Airlie Beach, Yorkeys Knob, Port
Douglas and Willis Island aboard
P&O’s Pacific Dawn.
Bowls matches will be run
throughout the cruise and return
airfares and a visit by Australian
Jackaroos captain Lynsey Clarke
at Airlie Beach is included.
Next in line is a cruise to New
Zealand on board Emerald
Princess to watch the Bowls
Premier League in Feb 2017.
Bowls Australia ceo Neil
Dalrymple said bowls members
will reap the benefits of the pact.
“Throughout the past few
years I have spoken to countless
bowlers who thoroughly enjoy
the experience of cruising, so this
partnership is a great fit for our
sport,’’ Dalrymple said.
“From what we have already
seen, Cruiseabout have already
been extremely creative in their
offerings to bowls members
and we look forward to this
continuing throughout the term
of the relationship.”
