ROMANCE OF THE RIVERS
CRUISE ON EUROPE’S WATERWAYS IN 2022
WHAT could be better than a slow meander through some of Europe’s loveliest regions by boat, viewing ever-changing scenery and cruising right into the heart of picturesque towns and cities?
Wake up with a new view every morning (a lofty abbey one day, a half-timbered town the next) or sit up on deck as you round a river bend which reveals a fairytale castle.
It’s a serene way of travelling that’s rich in history, culture and culinary delights.
And when you explore the Rhine, Danube or Dutch Waterways with Titan Travel, one of the UK’s leading escorted holiday specialists, you can expect to be looked after all the way, while enjoying incredible value.
Get ready for an indulgent floating holiday that includes transport from home to your spacious cabin, all transfers and a selection of hand-picked shore excursions.
Dining is a delicious gastronomic experience, with unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks included at lunch and dinner, while varied onboard entertainment includes cookery demonstrations and live music.
DANUBE MELODIES
ROMANCE rules on the Danube, where elegant river ships take you on a meander through the heart of the old Habsburg Empire, offering an ever-changing view of picturebook castles, medieval monasteries, luscious vineyards and tranquil villages.
Cruising here, you can look forward to such indulgences as sipping wine from a Wachau Valley vineyard or indulging in a slice of chocolatey Austrian
Sachertorte in an elegant cafe. On a Melodies of the Danube eightday cruise (from £1,649pp based on the July 27, 2022 departure), you’ll explore the castles, palaces and thermal baths of Budapest, take a wander through Bratislava’s old town and experience the opulence and charm of Vienna (inset above).
Take your seat to listen to a classical concert in a Viennese palace, step into Melk’s glorious baroque abbey — and glide past Budapest’s gothic-style Parliament Building (inset top right), strikingly illuminated at night.
RHINE TREASURES
LISTEN out for the wingbeats of skimming cormorants and the piercing early call of curlews as you are carried gently towards the famous Rhine Gorge.
Here, you’ll view luscious, vine-striped terraces and dreamy castles with towers that only Rapunzel’s prince might dare to climb.
Drink in the sights of the Black Forest, half-timbered Strasbourg and Cologne along the way — and taste German beer and bockwurst in medieval town squares.
Titan Travel’s Treasures of the Rhine cruise from Basel (eight days from £1,299pp based on the October 26, 2022 departure) will also see you cruising on beautiful Lake Lucerne (pictured), in Switzerland, exploring Strasbourg’s half-timbered ‘Petite France’ and experiencing the twists and turns of the stunning Lorelei passage.
In spring there are also cruises on the Dutch Waterways, revealing the incredible colours of Keukenhof, where seven million blooms appear from late March to mid-May, or taking you to the amazing, once-in-a-decade 2022 Floriade horticultural expo. And touring expert Titan offers a world of choice on a dozen other rivers, from Portugal’s golden Douro to the Nile and Mississippi.
If you are looking for a really memorable and great valuefor-money holiday next year — and love good food and drink, fabulous views and the ease of life in a floating hotel that takes you between fascinating destinations — then plan now to come aboard!
