MUSCAT — Oman Air Holidays has just launched its hottest new package ‘Fly ‘n’ Float’.

Fly out of Muscat and arrive in Mumbai in the morning and explore the city that never sleeps by visiting skyscrapers, historic Victorian buildings and many more tourist spots that this city offers and check in onboard the cruise ship and embark on a spectacular two-night cruise along the Arabian Sea coast to Goa aboard the luxurious SuperStar Libra.

“With all the deluxe trappings onboard this exclusive floating resort on high seas, passengers will enjoy a world-class entertainment, recreation, hospitality and a variety of dining options,” commented Mohammed Al Shikely, senior manager, marketing, Oman Air.

When the cruise ship arrives in Goa, an optional half-day Goa tour includes a visit to Goa’s whitewashed churches, Portuguese-style villas with red-tile roofs and old fortresses that give a Mediterranean feel to Goa’s towns and villages — the legacy of some 450 years of Portuguese rule.

Once an important trading centre for spices, silks and porcelain, Goa is now better known for its beach resorts with around 60 miles of white sands fringing the crystal clear Arabian Sea.

The package costs RO268.000 per adult sharing and includes return economy class airfare for the sector Muscat/Mumbai/Muscat on Oman Air, two nights cruise on SuperStar Libra from Mumbai to Goa and back on full board basis, one night accommodation in a 4-star hotel in Mumbai (including breakfast and hotel taxes) and all transfers in Mumbai. The package is currently valid until April 30, 2007.

For those who wish to remain in this beautiful city and further explore its charms may do so as the ticket is valid for another 10 days before it expires.
