Great Rail Journeys Adds to Its River Cruise Options

Great Rail Journeys has extended the high-quality product they currently offer into the river cruise market, with a charter of three state-of-the-art vessels which are launching now for the inaugural departure in April 2019

The Great Rail Journeys River Cruise Charter is five-star state of the art, modern luxury offering some of the largest and most generous cabins on Europe’s waterways at some of the most competitive prices in the UK market.

Designed specifically for UK customers, GRJ cruises will also offer:

  • One-way itineraries on all rivers: customers won’t have to see the same section of the river twice
  • Four flexible ways to connect: customers can choose to reach their cruise by flight or escorted rail, they can select from a range of tour and cruise itineraries, or the cruise can be added on to the end of an existing Great Rail Journeys tour
  • Choose a cabin at the time of booking: agents will be able to selecte the exact cabin for their customers at the time of booking via the GRJ agent portal – just like choosing an airline seat

The charter itineraries include tours along The Rhine, The Danube and the Waterways of Belgium & Holland, and have been launched with a 2019 Preview Offer. Customers who book from April 1 to June 1 2018 can save up to £100pp on selected River Cruise Charter itineraries.

Commercial Director Julian Appleyard said: “All of us here at Great Rail Journeys are excited about the launch of our new cruise charter. It gives us the opportunity to offer the high level of customer service our rail holidays are known for on to these spectacular ships.

“We are particularly proud of our flexible approach, allowing customers to choose their own excursions and cabins at no extra cost, whether it’s an onboard concert with members of Vienna’s acclaimed Philharmonic orchestra, or exploring the Keukenhof Gardens with Charlie Dimmock. Our river cruises will help travellers make memories that will last a lifetime”.
