- Wi-Fi Package

*AIR RATES NOT INCLUDED in pricing. When air becomes available, we will let our registrants know the flights and cost we have chosen. Registrants can choose our group air OR purchase on their own, particularly if an upgrade is desired or if you are wanting to use points or credits. $2,000 is a guestimate of the total air cost flying Delta to Sydney and returning on Air New Zealand.
Airport transfers are included from south Atlanta pick-up points for everyone flying on the established flight schedule. If you are flying from another city, you can meet us in Australia or in the connecting airport on the way. We will depart Atlanta on Wednesday, January 22nd and, because of advancing though all the time zones, we arrive in Sydney on Friday, the 24th (basically lose a day in flight).
When the cruise completes on February 7th (Friday), if time allows, we will provide some touring for our group in Auckland before catching our anticipated evening flight home. With all the time zone changes coming back, we miraculously get home the same day!
Ageless Adventures hosts, Jacque and Kent, will guide you on this fantastic adventure!
