Trafalgar launches its 2007 River Cruise Book

Following the popularity of its 2006 program, Trafalgar has launched The River Cruise Book for 2007, featuring a comprehensive selection of 20 exciting cruises, including three new itineraries and an extensive selection of optional pre or post cruise extensions.

Paul Wiseman, managing director of Trafalgar Tours said, “Our river cruising program has been performing exceptionally well since we first introduced it in 2005. Australians are increasingly embracing this unique and relaxing way to explore various parts of Europe.

“Regional cruising is increasingly popular in Europe, with interest in France, in particular, growing considerably. This increased interest led us to create a new eight-day Paris to Normandy cruise, which takes clients along the River Seine from Paris to the site of the historic D-Day invasion. Paris and Normandy is priced from $2525 per person twin share (excluding airfares).

“Cultural enthusiasts will also love the new 15-day Grand France cruise, which is an amalgamation of the new Paris to Normandy itinerary and the existing 8-day Burgundy and Provence cruise.

Grand France begins in Paris and continues north on the River Seine to the beaches of Normandy, before returning to the City of Lights for a one-day coach transfer to Chalon for the second leg of the cruise along the River Rhone down to the Mediterranean town of Arles. Grand France is priced from $5175 per person twin share (excluding airfares).

“Also new to the program is the 15-day European Discovery cruise which explores Switzerland, Germany and Austria, along the spectacular Rhine and Main Rivers, showcasing the quaint Bavarian towns of southern Germany. ”European Discovery is priced from $4625 per person twin share (excluding airfares).

Trafalgar’s River Cruise holidays allow travellers to see many parts of Europe whilst only having to unpack once. Luxury accommodation is guaranteed, as Trafalgar’s river cruises are all conducted on its privately owned fleet of luxury vessels. Each accommodates a maximum of 136 passengers and is staffed by an all English-speaking professional crew.

The cruise price includes guided city tours, scenic overland shore excursions and walks, all meals and accommodation onboard the ship, all transfers and the services of an experienced cruise manager.

Trafalgar’s River Cruise Book 2007 is easy to read, with high-gloss pictures, detailed maps, and clear itineraries, as well as easy-to-follow costing and discount details on all 20 holidays. In addition, as Trafalgar operates its own fleet of ships, agents can receive details of availability in each cabin category and instant confirmations with applicable cabin number, to ensure their clients’ requests are met instantly.

Trafalgar also offers great Earlybird discounts on its range of 2007 River Cruises, making it an even more attractive product to offer to clients. Couples who book and deposit by 31 December, 2006 can receive up to $500 off the brochure price. This savings can be doubled to $1000 per couple, when clients book and pay up front, by 31 October, 2006.
