Here we've tried to list a range of companies that should be able to get you to the Cricket World Cup in the West Indies.

Of the major Tour Operators there's one that's started to promote Cricket World Cup 2007 holidays already and that's Virgin Holidays.

We've tried to organise the information below to each of the islands and give which matches they'll show to help you organise your trip as easily as possible. England is in Pool 3 and will play it's group matches in St. Lucia.

St Lucia Cricket Holidays

The Beau-se-jour Stadium is located in the out skirts of Rodney Bay, St Lucia and is very close to the airport. You should be looking to stay in North West part of the Island from the Marigot Bay to La Brellotte Bay if you want to be relatively close.

England's first game there is on 16th March and our last is 24th March so those are the dates you should be looking at. Depending where we finish in the group, we'll either be playing in Antigua or Guyana from 27th March to 9th April and the later stages are being held in Grenada and Barbados from 10th April to 22nd April

To check the complete list of hotels for Virgin Holidays in St Lucia click here. The hotels you could try and look for are Coco Kreole, The Village Inn, Bay Gardens Hotel, Coco Palm, Almond Morgan Bay, Coconut Bay Resort, WindJammer Landing Villa Beach Resort, East Winds Inn, a variety of Sandals resorts, Anse Chastanet, The Jalousie Plantation, Auberge Seraphine, Ginger Lily Hotel, La Haut Plantation, the Stonefield Estate Villa Resort, Ladera Resort and various hotels from Rex Resorts.

Getting to St Lucia
You can fly direct from Gatwick or Manchester to Hewanorra International airport in St Lucia with Virgin Atlantic. Remember that you need to pay a local aiport tax of around EC$ 54 which is around £13.

The flight will take around 8hrs 45 minutes and they're 4 hours behind us.

Money
You'll need to get the "East Caribbean Dollar"

For the Missus
If your missus is going with you and doesn't like cricket then here's some stuff for her to do.
