Launch offer
This brochure offers the first occasion to book a river cruise for the 2019 season and as an added bonus for those early bookers who confirm their cruise holiday by 26 June 2018 there is the advantage of the low £99pp deposit.
 
2019 Cruise options include…
For a Spring escape at the start of the 2019 season MS Bellejour will offer a 6-day no-fly cruise of the ‘Dutch Waterways and Tulips’ (departing 1 April and 6 April 2019 from £999 pp). Taking in the sights of the Netherlands along the Dutch Waterways highlights including a visit to the world famous Keukenhof Gardens and a cruise along Amsterdam’s ribbon of 17th-century canals.
 
MS Bellejour will then transfer to the Danube for the rest of the season to offer a choice of itineraries including the 13-day ‘Voyage to the Black Sea’ (departing 7 July or 25 September 2019 from £2,599 pp). Perfect for those who want to explore off the beaten track this is the chance to sail the lesser known stretch of the Danube, visiting five different countries and the cities of Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Constanta as well as a daylight cruise through the natural wonder of the Iron Gates gorge.
 
For the 2019 season MS Serenade 1 will offer dedicated departures along the Rhine with a particular highlight for art lovers being the 8-day ‘In The Footsteps of Turner’ itinerary (departing 22 August 2019 from £1,599pp). Featuring four special talks by expert art historian Gerald Deslandes, the cruise celebrates the famous painter’s fascination with the Middle Rhine, exploring the region’s medieval fortresses and fairytale castles, picturesque villages and magnificent cities. And in contrast to the artist himself, who lost his entire luggage, Titan will escort travellers in comfort and convenience.

Adding to the flexibility of departing from the regional airport that is most convenient for them Titan has increased the number of regional flights for travellers to fly internationally to join their cruise.
