Holy Land Extension

We have decided to add a Holy Land cruise on the end of the world cruise.  Since we will already be in the area and to keep from having to fly back to Europe, this addition to our itinerary made sense.  Have added tabs at the top of the page that show the itinerary and map.  The cruise is April 30 to May 12, 2011.
