History, Genealogy and Heritage Events

Unlock the Past Cruises

Over half a million Australians go on cruises each year now. There are several hundred thousand estimated family and local historians in Australia and maybe 2 to 3 times that number with a casual interest in the subject.

Combining both these interests:

  • adds great value to these reserachers who already cruise. 50% of those on our previous cruises had cruised before, some regularly
  • offers a unique conference experience to those who have never before cruised

Unlock the Past organised the first Australian history and genealogy cruise in Marche 2011, with the second in November 2011. The third will be held in February 2013. Each cruise offers a unique and valuable conference package.

For more information see about Unlock the Past cruises and details of the 2013 cruise.
