More festive cruises available to popular Christmas markets
River Cruise Line has launched new festive cruises in its third edition brochure for 2013/14.
Most of the new cruises will take place on board the four-star MS Switzerland, which was a new addition to the fleet in 2012. It will also have two additional cruises on the three-star MS Amsterdam.
Sales manager Paul Sharp said: "Our short festive breaks are an excellent introduction for clients to the world of river cruising, with excellent prices, a great atmosphere on board and opportunities to visit some of Europe’s most impressive Christmas markets.
"We often find that clients who have travelled on one of these short breaks as a chance to sample a river cruise subsequently return to book longer trips in the spring and summer."
