RIVER Adventures
Want to pack as much into your holiday as possible – without unpacking continually? Here’s why a European river cruise is the only way to roll
THERE’S little else quite as relaxing as bobbing along the water on a sunny day, so it’s no wonder river cruising is becoming a must-do on most holidaymakers’ bucket lists.
Not only do river cruises allow you to flow through the heart of some of the world’s most beautiful countries, they are also the perfect way to take in the scenery slowly.
And with the experts at Titan, getting away from it all has never been so relaxing. Whether you’re a regular river cruiser or a solo traveller looking for a new adventure, at Titan Travel they are masters at making you feel welcome on an unforgettably special journey.
BLOOMING LOVELY
GLIDE down the Dutch Waterways as April’s tulips are in full bloom before stepping on land to explore historic cities and charming towns alike. Stop off in Amsterdam and take in the buzz of its quaint cobbled streets before being caught up in the scent of Holland’s iconic flower at Keukenhof Gardens as you enjoy the deliciousness of a fresh, gooey Stroopwafel.
Then onwards you’ll go along the winding waterways to the Castle of the Counts in Ghent – a Belgian fortress with a past as turbulent as it is exciting. Your expedition will continue with sailing on to Brussels, to enjoy the extravagant Grand Place, the city’s main square. While you might not be regal enough to reside there, you’ll be given the royal welcome in the centuries-old beer-houses and mussel restaurants that are clustered in the alleys around it.
Or, you could venture down the mysterious Danube – a river that boasts some of the most wonderful vistas in Europe. Austria’s awe-inspiring countryside will remind you of the fairy tales of your childhood – and there’s certainly something magical about one of your cruise highlights, Vienna. Little else sends the soul soaring more than hearing the music made by this city’s sons and played at Wiener Staatsoper (the Vienna
