Voyages Jules Verne Launches Enhanced Service for Autumn 2011

LONDON, June 15, 2011 -

Voyages Jules Verne has announced the introduction of scheduled
flights to its popular programme of escorted tours in Jordan.

Replacing the charter arrangement from Gatwick to Aqaba, clients
will now fly from Heathrow to Amman with British Midland
International (bmi), enjoying a number of additional benefits that
include Saturday departures, an extended season (which means a
wider choice of departures over a longer peiord), free connecting
bmi flights from Manchester (supplement for other regional
airports) and an upgraded flight option where customers can fly in
even greater comfort in Business Class (additional cost).

Travelling on scheduled flights will also extend the duration of
each itinerary, enabling Voyages Jules Verne clients to spend an
extra night in Jordan, staying at an additional location. For
example, VJV’s 15-night Grand Tour of Jordan itinerary now includes
a stay at the luxurious Evason Ma‘in Hot Springs & Six Senses
Spa as well as an upgrade to its standard accommodation in Tala
Bay, which is now the five-star Radisson Blu Resort. The
eight-night Discover Jordan tour now features a night at the Dead
Sea - staying either at the four-star Holiday Inn Resort or the new
five-star Mövenpick Resort & Spa (additional cost).

Whilst it would be understandable to expect all these extra
benefits to incur an additional cost, Voyages Jules Verne has
managed to maintain prices across its Jordan programme -
reinforcing the company’s reputation for offering the best possible
value to its clients. And there’s even better news on the budgeting
front in the form of an Early Booking Offer as customers can now
reserve their place on a Jordan tour by 30 June 2011 and enjoy a
£50 pp reduction on advertised prices.

2012 promises to be a big year for Jordan, as it celebrates the
200th anniversary of the re-discovery of Petra by Swiss explorer
Johann Ludwig Burckhardt as well as the 50th anniversary of the
filming of Lawrence of Arabia. And, with the country currently
experiencing a temporary drop in tourism, there really is no better
time to see Jordan ‘while the tourist crowds are away’.

Voyages Jules Verne’s 2011/12 href="www.vjv.com/destinations/middle-east/jordan-tours/">Jordan
holidays programme offers a choice of four itinerates including
Petra to the Pyramids, Jordan’s Red Sea & Petra, Discover
Jordon and Grand Tour of Jordon.
