In China, now is the time to go in the ever-changing Yangtze river delta.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
River cruises carry a higher up front sticker price, but actually offer incredible value for money.  Fine wine with dinner, as well as a comprehensive tour and shore excursion programme are all included in the price with many itineraries- extras that would add up quickly with other vacation options.  Combined with USD pricing compared to Euros, in Europe river cruising continues to offer the best way to see several destinations in one trip, yet only have to unpack once!
 
River cruises also take you to Spain, Portugal, Russia, The Ukraine, Egypt and beyond.  Due to very limited capacity, river cruises sell early.  Do not expect last minute availability - but do start planning ahead!    To find out more about river cruising, please CONTACT US!
