Holiday like royal on a luxury golf cruise

Picture this: You’re cruising the Mediterranean in style onboard a small luxury ship, drinking champagne, soaking up the sun, exploring ancient cities and enjoy lazy rounds of golf at the world’s top courses.  

If this type of holiday sounds like the exclusive domain of film stars and royalty, think again.

Specialist Australian golf tour operator Golf Explorer has been announced as the preferred Australian partner for US-based golf cruise experts, Classic Golf Cruises.

Which means Golf Explorer is now packaging the ultimate golf cruises to Europe’s finest golf course, Valderrama Golf Club on the Costa del Sol, and the Sperone Golf Club in Corsica.

There is a combination of golf and sightseeing tours offered at each destination including the Adriatic, Spain and Morocco, the Greek Islands and Turkey, North America’s Great Lakes and South Africa.

Departure dates for Classic Golf Cruises run from late March through to December 2009 on luxury vessels ranging from the 34-guest Callisto to the 114-guest Corinthian II.

To celebrate this new partnership agents will receive a generous 15% commission on all Classic Golf Cruises booked through Golf Explorer until 30 April 2009.
