I have attached the itinerary for your perusal. The only difference to the attachment is that the price for a solo traveller is $2863.00.
Should a solo traveller wish to bring a Non-Probus guest to share their room and thus alleviate some expense, that will be fine. Non-Probus guests add an extra $50.00 to the price.
Our coach will be only 2 months old, and features reclining seats, USB chargers, Wi-fi, Restroom, Tray tables, 3 TV's, Wheelchair/assistance lift available, urn, fridge, iPad audio visual system - very comfy indeed! All meals are included.
