Voyages Jules Verne Launches New No Single Supplement Brochure

Voyages Jules Verne has announced the launch of its new No Single Supplement brochure, offering itineraries without financial penalty from Italy to India.

2011-09-02

LONDON, ENGLAND, September 02, 2011 (Press-News.org) Voyages Jules Verne has published the latest edition of its sought-after No Single Supplement brochure.

Covering departures until December 2012, solo travellers can choose from short break and longer-haul destinations in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Far East that all have one thing in common: there are no extra charges for having a single room. Far from being a 'singles club', these arrangements ensure that clients wishing to join a tour independently may do so without the all-too-familiar financial penalties imposed by many travel companies.

Equally appealing to first-time solos and regular clients of Voyages Jules Verne, the new No Single Supplement brochure includes three new itineraries.

Firstly, Ice & Lights, a seven-night Iceland tour that takes in the south west corner of this intriguing island. Highlights include Reykjavik, the Golden Circle and world-famous Blue Lagoon as well as the lesser-visited spots of Hverageroi, Skaftafell and the Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon, where Northern Lights sightings are likely (conditions permitting).

Kenya tours are also on offer in the new brochure. A 14-night African safari from Nairobi to Mombasa on this features Amboseli and Tsavo West National Parks, the Taita Hills and Kenya's original tea estate in the Limuru Highlands. Accommodation is four-star throughout and, in addition to several game drivs, there's also an opportunity to look around the former home of 'Out of Africa's' Karen Blixen.

Jordan's Red Sea & Petra: Expanding its popular programme of Jordan tours this year Voyages Jules Verne now offers scheduled flights from Heathrow to Amman, enabling visitors to enjoy Saturday departures at a more convenient time, an extended season in which to travel and an additional day to spend in their chosen resort. This new eight-night option combines Amman, the Dead Sea and a third-centre choice of either Aqaba or Tala Bay.

The 2011/2012 No Single Supplement programme also includes familiar VJV holidays such as Turkey holidays, four nights in Rome, A Royal Steamer Restored (seven nights cruising the Nile in style) and India's Golden Triangle. For those seeking to see in the Advent season with aplomb, Christmas Markets & Music on the Danube promises an unforgettable four-night cruise to Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava with private on-board concerts and plenty of festive shopping opportunities.

Some itineraries also include special events - exclusive to clients of Voyages Jules Verne - ranging from a late afternoon cruise on Lake Como and typical Ottoman Dinner in Turkey to a lecture on Tunisian history in Sousse, a private evening reception at Luxor Temple and a ride in a bullock cart in India.

Those wishing to receive a copy of the new No Single Supplement brochure can contact Voyages Jules Verne on 0845 166 7035 or visit the award-winning website at www.vjv.com.

Discovery suggests way to block fetal brain damage produced by oxygen deprivation

2011-09-02

LA JOLLA, CA – September 1, 2011 – Examining brain damage that occurs when fetuses in the womb are deprived of oxygen, researchers at The Scripps Research Institute have discovered that damage does not occur randomly but is linked to the specific action of a naturally occurring fatty molecule called LPA, acting through a receptor that transfers information into young brain cells. This observation made in mice suggests that LPA may also be linked to the damage caused by oxygen deprivation in human fetuses. If that proves to be the case, the research may help scientists ...

Starving inflammatory immune cells slows damage caused by multiple sclerosis

2011-09-02

In a paper published today in the journal Scientific Reports, a pair of researchers at the University of California, San Diego Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences report that inhibiting the ability of immune cells to use fatty acids as fuel measurably slows disease progression in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS). MS is an autoimmune disease resulting from damage to the myelin sheath, a protective layer surrounding nerve cells. When the sheath is damaged, nerve impulses are slowed or halted, resulting in progressive physical and neurological disabilities. ...

Tree-killing pathogen traced back to California

2011-09-02

Berkeley – Genetic detective work by an international group of researchers may have solved a decades-long mystery of the source of a devastating tree-killing fungus that has hit six of the world's seven continents. In a study published today (Thursday, Sept. 1) in the peer-reviewed journal Phytopathology, California emerged as the top suspect for the pathogen, Seiridium cardinale, that is the cause of cypress canker disease. It was in California's San Joaquin Valley in 1928 that S. cardinale was first identified as the culprit causing the disease. The fungus has made ...

McMaster study finds more gut reaction to arthritis drugs

2011-09-02

Hamilton, ON (Sept. 1, 2011) – Patients often take drugs to lower stomach acid and reduce the chances they will develop ulcers from taking their anti-inflammatory drugs for conditions such as arthritis, but the combination may be causing major problems for their small intestines, McMaster researchers have found. A team from the Farncombe Family Digestive Health Research Institute has found those stomach acid-reducing drugs, known as proton pump inhibitors, may actually be aggravating damage in the small intestine caused by the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, also ...

The battle of the morphogens: How to get ahead in the nervous system

2011-09-02

If you think today's political rhetoric is overheated, imagine what goes on inside a vertebrate embryo. There, two armies whose agendas are poles apart, engage in a battle with consequences much more dire than whether the economy will recover---- they are battling for whether you (or frogs or chickens) will have a forebrain. In a study published in the August 19 online edition of Genes & Development, Salk Institute investigators led by Greg Lemke, Ph.D., professor in the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory, reveals that a foot soldier of one army---- the ventralizers---deploys ...

Warming streams could be the end for salmon

2011-09-02

Warming streams could spell the end of spring-run Chinook salmon in California by the end of the century, according to a study by scientists at UC Davis, the Stockholm Environment Institute and the National Center for Atmospheric Research. There are options for managing water resources to protect the salmon runs, although they would impact hydroelectric power generation, said Lisa Thompson, director of the Center for Aquatic Biology and Aquaculture at UC Davis. A paper describing the study is published online this week by the Journal of Water Resources Planning and Management. "There ...

UCSB physicists demonstrate the quantum von Neumann architecture

2011-09-02

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) –– A new paradigm in quantum information processing has been demonstrated by physicists at UC Santa Barbara. Their results are published in this week's issue of Science Express online. UCSB physicists have demonstrated a quantum integrated circuit that implements the quantum von Neumann architecture. In this architecture, a long-lived quantum random access memory can be programmed using a quantum central processing unit, all constructed on a single chip, providing the key components for a quantum version of a classical computer. The UCSB hardware ...
