GIPPSLAND TRAVEL and SCENIC want you to discover the luxury of river cruising

-

When you consider the all-inclusive luxury, it’s no surprise that river cruising continues to grow in popularity for travellers.

For over 30 years, owner of Gippsland Travel, Jacquey Turner and her expert team have sent hundreds of highly satisfied clients river cruising. Clients benefit from the team’s first-hand expert advice, with the team at Gippsland Travel personally having experience­d fourteen river cruises between them.

For travellers new to river cruising, one of the biggest benefits is only having to unpack once and experience a much more intimate, gentle way of seeing the world.

“River cruising gives you maximum time to explore your chosen destinatio­n,” says Jacquey. “You dock right in the heart of a city, which means no long transfers or waiting times to reach the sights. You can literally stroll off the ship and you’re there. It’s very relaxed and smooth cruising to really soak in and enjoy.”

Having experience­d river cruising in many destinatio­ns around the world with several operators, Jacquey really loves to recommend Scenic to her clients. “River cruising with Scenic means you’re on a 5-star floating hotel. Absolutely everything is included.

“There are no hidden surprises. From the moment you step on board, you will be spoilt with an experience of luxury. Your own private butler will stack your mini bar in your room daily so you may enjoy a drink on your balcony after a funfilled day enjoying one of the many Free Choice Excursions.”

While some travellers know of the popular Amsterdam to Budapest cruising, there are many more options. Jacquey has cruised The Volga in Russia, the Irrawaddy River through Myanmar, The Nile in Egypt, along the Rhone in the South of France, down the Douro River in Portugal and along the Yangtze River in China. When asked what her favourite cruise was, Jacquey replied with “All of them.”

Jacquey and Jacinta are inviting readers to join them at the free Scenic Getaway Travel Showcase presentati­ons at the Warragul Country Club on Wednesday, 4 September.
