a new way to river cruise
River cruising has seen a surge in popularity in recent years, but there’s no better time to book a European river cruise than now, when your clients can step aboard Fred. Olsen’s new ship, the sleek and stylish Brabant.
Your clients can wake up to views of stunning castles, pretty villages or rolling countryside, while sailing from one idyllic destination to another. They can explore a new town or city each day, without the hassle of arranging transport and enjoy a multicity break, where the cost includes flights, transfers and meals.
At just 100-metres long, the 156-guest Brabant is the smallest of the Fred. Olsen fleet and in its second season, 2019/20, will offer over 30 enticing sailings along the stunning Danube, Moselle, Main and Rhine rivers.
Enhanced on-board offering
New for the season, Brabant will have an enhanced range of speakers to share their expertise on fascinating topics. These include the Royal Horticultural Society’s John Hughes; Brigadier Philip Sanders and wine expert Martin Ward.
Guests can opt for the ‘Dining Drinks Package’, which, for £10pp per night, offers house wine, European lager, bitter and branded soft drinks on an all-inclusive basis when served with lunch and dinner.
Guests can also purchase a shore tours package for £200, guaranteeing them one shore tour on every port day, with trips taking in Cologne’s stunning Cathedral and Breisach’s beautiful Black Forest.
