Meet your favourite authors on a superb cruise of the Danube
THE UK’s most popular literary festival takes place in Oxfordshire in October – and we’re giving readers a chance to be part of an unmissable experience a few weeks later as the event takes to the water.
You’ll mingle with some of your favourite authors while enjoying wonderful food and drink and breathtaking vistas on the eight-day Henley Literary Festival cruise through the heart of Europe.
Talks, interviews and more from a host of top writers will take place on board an Emerald Cruises Star-Ship during this unforgettable cruise.
The Danube is one of Europe’s greatest rivers, flowing through ten countries and four capital cities: Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava and Belgrade. Our unique itinerary starts in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, on October 27. Your ship will stop at Linz for Cesky Krumlov, the towns of Melk and Durnstein in the beautiful Unesco-listed Wachau Valley, Bratislava and Vienna, before the cruise finishes in ancient Passau on the edge of Germany’s Black Forest.
With a brilliant line-up of bestselling authors set to attend, including recently added Ruth Jones, Joanna Trollope, Kate Mosse and Louis de Bernières, it promises to be an epic journey through central Europe that book-lovers will not want to miss.
For added peace of mind, Emerald Cruises offers a Flexible Booking Policy which allows you to defer your travel plans and transfer to an alternative departure date or itinerary up to 60 days before departure*.
