Avalon Waterways Announce Special Savings for 2012

LONDON, February 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Special savings announced for some of its most popular river cruise routes

Avalon Waterways has announced an array of savings on a range of their popular European river cruises.  Savings of all shapes and sizes can be enjoyed on a variety of river cruises, allowing customers to experience some idyllic locations. Ever-desirable Rhine river cruises from Avalon Waterways currently boast savings of up to £1,000 per couple on the popular Upper Rhine to the City of Music route and up to £600 per couple on the Romantic Rhine itinerary. The special 2012 savings apply to a whole range of departure dates throughout the year, offering customers maximum flexibility and choice.

One of the most celebrated cruises is the Paris to Normandy Landing Beaches itinerary, where couples can save £600 per couple on 27th March, 17th and 24th April 2012 departures. The cruise begins in chic Paris and passengers set sail upon the Seine River, traversing through picturesque Normandy and the poignant WWII landing beaches.

Despite such huge discounts, Avalon Waterways continues to offer outstanding service. Its ships are, on average, just two years old and staterooms are some of the largest on European rivers. Some staterooms are generously proportioned and boasts a large French balcony, perfect for admiring the views and soaking up the sights and sounds along your river voyage. Luxury continues with L'Occitane toiletries, bathrobes, Egyptian cotton linens, flat-screen televisions and complimentary Wifi.

But the real reason Avalon Waterways has a customer satisfaction rating of 97% is the quality of its cruise itineraries, which it has developed and expanded upon throughout its 80 year history. Each destination is handpicked to offer the most insightful, unique and memorable holiday experience; expert guides are English-speaking and possess a wealth of local knowledge and regular onboard lectures add richness to the journey.

It is these details that set Avalon Waterways apart. River cruising is just as much about the journey as the destination. With this level of luxury, fine dining, onboard lectures and personalised service the journey is the destination.

Avalon Waterways offers cruises along the main European rivers including the Rhine, Rhone, Danube and Seine. Excitingly, Avalon Waterways also offer Asia cruises, allowing passengers to visit across some of Asia's most extraordinary locations including Vietnam, Cambodia and China.

Journey times vary from four to 23 days and you can tailor make your own itinerary, choosing whether you want to make your own way to the ship or to add a hotel stay at the beginning or the end of your cruise for example.
