Imagine watching the sun rise from the deck of a square-rigger, a glass of champagne in your hand. The sea is calm and there is a light breeze just enough to fill the sails. What a way to start the Conference! And there are still some places left. Register now for the Lady Nelson champagne breakfast cruise. The ship leaves at 06.30 (when it’s still almost dark) and gets back in time for the first sessions. Besides champagne, there will be fresh fruit, hot finger-food and coffee/tea etc to set you up for the day.
Those who were on the Lady Nelson breakfast cruise at the 2001 Conference still talk about the wonderful experience. Make sure you don’t miss out. Register now
