These new sailings have been introduced in response to growing demand for all-inclusive travel experiences, offering clearly defined pricing with no hidden costs. Each package includes meals, drinks, Wi-Fi, port taxes and up to three included excursions.
A range of vessels will be used, including standard ships and select smaller premium vessels. All cruises will be supported by Newmarket Holidays tour managers alongside multilingual crew onboard.
Early demand has been strongest for the Andalusian River Escape, reflecting increased interest in southern Spain as a river cruise destination. This itinerary features visits to Seville, Córdoba, Cádiz and Granada, alongside unique onboard experiences such as wine tastings, cultural tours, and a gala dinner.
The six new itineraries are:
- Andalusian River Escape
- River Seine Discovery
- Rhône & Saóne River Delights
- Grand Capitals of the Danube
- Delights of the Douro
- Treasures of the Rhine – Amsterdam to Basel
These cruise touring packages are positioned as an alternative to traditional touring holidays, with fixed inclusions designed to improve clarity and ease. A 10% early booking saving is available on all 2027 departures for bookings made before Sunday, 31 May.
Hayley Morris, Head of Trade Sales and Partnerships, said: “River cruising continues to grow in popularity, and we’re delighted to partner with CroisiEurope to bring our customers a range of all-inclusive European sailings that combine exceptional value with immersive experiences.
“Our Andalusian River Escape is a particular highlight, offering a unique way to explore southern Spain’s culture, history, and landscapes, all while enjoying the ease and comfort of river cruising.”
