Magna Carta 2020

EUROPEAN Waterways has announced it is now taking 2020 bookings for its cruises on board the Magna Carta hotel barge sailing the River Thames following the sellout of its 2019 cruises.

The sailings feature a tour of England’s Highclere Castle, the setting for the popular period drama Downton Abbey, with the premier of a film version of the show later this year believed to have contributed to the rapid sales.

Guests on the river cruises have the opportunity to tour through many of the rooms seen on the show, as well as explore the estate’s expansive parkland area.

Prices for the river sailings start at €3,950 (AU$6,442) per person twin share.

For booking information on the cruise call 1800 828 050.
