TORONTO — U River Cruises has announced three new itineraries and the relaunch of The B ship for 2020.

Set to debut in April 2020, some of the European destinations that U River Cruises will be sailing to are Vienna, Brussels, Dusseldorf, Salzburg, Bratislava and more. New offerings on seven-night itineraries include complimentary happy hour every night, overnight stays and active excursions.

The A will offer the new ‘Vienna Vibe’ and ‘Eastern Europe Escapes’ itineraries, whereas The B will offer the ‘Amsterdam & Brussels Bound’ sailing and an updated ‘Rolling on the Rhine’ itinerary. Cruises can be combined to create 14-night cruises without repeating ports.

“U’s itineraries are created with active, social and culturally curious travellers in mind – free time to allow travellers to wander on their own, unique choice of active and immersive excursions with local hosts, and a vibrant onboard environment that encourages fun, social connections with like-minded guests. We’ve also added in extra overnight stays to allow for a more in-depth exploration of the cities beyond just the highlights.” comments CEO of U River Cruises, Ellen Bettridge.
