    Set Sail with Travel Department’s River Cruise Holidays – Cruise down the Nile or sail through Europe

    By Senior Times on April 27, 2021 Travel

    Set sail and take to the river, when we can travel again, and enjoy the many features of River Cruising whether it’s in Europe or further afield.

    Travel Department has a range of fantastic River Cruises for late 2021 and 2002

     

    Experience the Rhine and Cologne River Cruise where for 7 nights you will sail through Switzerland, France, Germany and The Netherlands.

    Before embarking on your Rhine River Cruise adventure, your holiday will begin with a guided walking tour of Basel and then you’ll set sail on the 4 star MS Amadeus ship.

    Much smaller than an ocean liner, the ship will take you into the heart of most cities you’ll visit, giving more time to explore the attractions and enjoy time ashore. You’ll enjoy guided tours and free time for sightseeing in Heidelberg, Koblenz and Cologne and there are also optional excursions to avail of, such as wine tasting in Cochem and a walking tour of Strasbourg. You’ll say goodbye to your ship in Amsterdam, the final stop, but before departing you’ll explore the city on a guided tour, which includes a canal cruise.

    Enjoy free time at leisure to relax on-board or discover each destination at your own pace.

    Book Your Trip From €2099pp

    Departure dates in September 2021, and in May, June, July 2022

Your holiday begins in the magnificent city of Cairo, where you’ll absorb the ancient sites including a full day city tour, a visit to the Egyptian Museum and a trip to the Khan El Khalili bazaar. You’ll also pay a visit to Egypt’s most iconic sites: the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx.  Next, you’ll embark on a relaxing river cruise down the Nile with a range of excursions along the way including the Temple of Horus, the Valley of Kings, the High Dam and the Temples of Karnak and Luxor. Finally, you’ll enjoy a 3-night stay in Hurghada, the beautiful beach resort town stretching 40km along Egypt’s Red Sea coast.

    Book Your Trip From €1969pp

    Departure dates in September, October and November 2021 and in March-November 2022

    Classical Danube River Cruise 4 Star (Budapest – Passau)

    Sail through Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary on this 7-night Danube river cruise.

    Begin your journey in Budapest, with a guided city tour before boarding your ship and setting sail through central Europe. Your ship will take you into the heart of most cities you visit, giving you more time to discover these incredible places. You’ll enjoy guided city tours in exciting destinations like Budapest, Vienna, and Munich, and have time to discover quaint towns like Dürnstein and Regensburg. There will also be plenty of optional excursions for you to explore more at each port of call and ample leisure time to relax onboard the ship’s panoramic sundeck.

    Stay 7 nights on board the 4-star MS Amadeus Brilliant or Imperial. Enjoy excursions and city tours in Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna, Salzburg & Munich.

    Visit breathtaking filming locations from The Sound of Music on a half day trip to Salzkammergut and immerse yourself in the region’s culture with a night of traditional Bavarian entertainment.

    Relax with plenty of free time to enjoy the ship’s many amenities or explore ports of call at your own pace.

    Travel Department’s excursions are carefully crafted to uncover wonderful places – less crowded and expertly guided. There are smaller groups sizes and the highest possible safety standards on all their tours.

    Travel Department has updated all its safety protocols and promises to continue to do so, so that holidaymakers can travel with confidence both this year and next. They are also continuing to offer customers the flexibility to change holidays for free or swap deposits for a voucher with no expiry date, right up until when their balance payments are due. This offer is available for all bookings up to 31st May 2021 and gives much reassurance.
