LONDON, September 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

Cricket fans get trip of lifetime with Mercury Direct's package to Sri Lanka

Travel Company, Mercury Direct, has created the perfect getaway for fans of cricket.

The company, who offer trips across Europe and beyond, including bespoke Malta holidays, now offer a venture that offers customers a brand new holiday experience.

Travellers will be able to enjoy a holiday package that joins England's cricket team as they battle Sri Lanka against a backdrop of mesmerising, exotic beauty. Sri Lanka, also known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, is a location that promises to offer stunning landscapes and cultural experiences beyond a love of cricket.

The trip, which is scheduled for spring, 2012 takes place over the 5 day test matches, all of which Mercury Direct cricket fans can watch live. Mercury Direct makes the 1^st or 2^nd test available to their customers; the offer can include both tests if desired.  

The pre-packaged itinerary is packed with inclusive offers that integrate cricket with an exotic holiday: match tickets, transfers to and from the stadiums, accommodation and flights are all provided by Mercury Direct.

Accommodation is selected for travellers from a pool of high-quality and luxurious hotels. The specialist nature of the trip means that those customers who purchase the package are catered for throughout the entire holiday, with all meals and drinks included at the Induruwa Beach Resort.

The well-priced inclusivity of the trip makes it particularly appealing and is one that Mercury Direct are proud to add to their catalogue of holidays to Malta and other interesting and competitive trips across the globe. A spokesperson said;

'We are delighted to offer our customers such a prescriptive trip to Sri Lanka. Not only is it a wonderful destination in its own right, but incorporating world class cricket into a holiday at such good value is a feat we are really excited about on behalf of our customers.'

Established in September 1980, Mercury Direct has grown from small beginnings to become one of the leading specialists to Malta, Cyprus, Sri Lanka and Mauritius. Mercury Direct also offer the same quality and choice of holidays to Madeira, the Algarve, Australia, Bali and other holiday destinations. The company only sells its own carefully selected holidays, those in which it has confidence and which customers rate as good or excellent in questionnaires, and the representative service offered in resorts results in clients being looked after through every step of their holiday. As a result, Mercury Direct gets more and more repeat bookings every year as well as more customers hearing about the company through word of mouth.
