Every year we conduct an International Tour featuring NHL or International Ice Hockey Events. Since 2017, we have taken over 100 travelers to USA, Canada and Sweden.
It gives us great pleasure to announce our tour for 2024|25. This year we will be travelling eas from Chicago to Boston and every major city in between.
This tour will focus on the USA NHL Eastern conference, featuring at least 2 of the original 6 NHL Teams and Stadiums. We will be leaving Australia on December 28, 2024 and returning on or before January 11, 2025 [estimated]. The trip is contingent on the 2024|25 Draw which is published by June 30, 2024. We will then confirm the itinerary, game tickets and attractions.
Our tours are for all ANZ supporters of hockey, not just the ICE. So far we have had fans from the Bears, Mustangs, Canberra, Newcastle, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth and even in NZ.
Over the years we have come up with a simple formula for operating and booking these tours.
Like all of our tours, we are offering a fully inclusive package including;
Note we use the best group fares with United Airways and they may not always be able to be upgraded.
On the tour this year we will be flying into Chicago and out of Boston. We will visit at least 5 cities along the way, including;
We will lock in 4-5 NHL Games, once the draw is released, and we check for group availability. The draw is released on June 15, 2024 and we need about two weeks to build the Final Itinerary.
Expect 2-3 Unique Game experiences including photos, center ice, stadium tours as we proceed etc.
This year we have some amazing "optional extra games" to offer our travelers, and we will book well in advance of the tour beginning;
NOTE: *Both of these events are outdoor, probably uncovered [open air] and likely to be extremely cold and heaps of fun.
Every year we try to include at least 4-5 free additional experiences as we progress through the tour. This may include museums, attractions and free events. This year we will focus these inclusions in Washington DC and stadium tours in Chicago and Boston Gardens.
We will be staying at mostly Hilton and | or Marriott Hotels [4-4.5 STAR] along the way and they all feature free WiFi and Buffet Breakfasts as part of the packages. We try to get Hotels as close as possible to the 'NHL Stadiums' as we possibly can.
We will have a dedicated luxury coach [and probably Driver] from Chicago through to Boston. Our standard intercity departure time will be 10.00am.
We will have two chaperones on the tour to help manage our group. One from our travel provider and one from ICE Tours. Their job will be to help and assist passengers with tickets, check-ins, health and general wellbeing etc.
This year we need a minimum of 30 travelers to run the tour. We also have a maximum capacity [luxury coach] of 48 travelers. We will also consider a second coach if we get the numbers.
We will take new registrations until August 30, or until booked out.
We try to keep the cost under $10K AUS for these trips [EG : Last year $9790.00]
Land only option, if you would like to make your own way to the start of tour [EG Buy your own air tickets], we offer a land only option at roughly $3500.00 under the prices above.
