Early Bird Gets The Discount

European Waterways is offering a 10% off “early bird” special on select departures in 2017 for those who book their cruises by Dec. 31, 2016. Eligible cruises are available from March through late August.

Participating hotel barges include the 20-passenger La Bella Vita, which cruises the Venetian Lagoon and Po Valley; the 8-passenger Rosa, which takes guests through the rural, colorful landscape of Gascony in Southwest France; and the 12-passenger Panache, whose panoramic saloon windows and large sundeck offer guests the perfect view of the historic Alsace Lorraine region with its mixture of French and German cultures.

Derek Banks, managing director of European Waterways, said: “Everyone should do this at least once in their life’ is a frequent comment among our guests, with ‘it’s the best way of seeing France’ a universal sentiment.”

Banks noted: “The friendships and comradery that develop among our small groups of sophisticated ‘cultural adventurists’ makes for a truly unforgettable vacation. That’s why many of them return to cruise with us again.”
