NEW YORK — European Waterways is currently accepting advanced bookings for the 2017 season at 2016 prices.

The rates apply to bookings for both cabins and whole boat charters and are available for a limited time.

“Travellers are feeling more confident about the economy and booking farther and farther in advance,” said Derek Banks, managing director for European Waterways. “The more popular regions are being booked more quickly, so the earlier our guests secure their cabins, the better their chances of getting the hotel barge and itinerary of their choice. Booking for 2017 at 2016 rates is an additional incentive.”

European Waterways immerses guests in the gastronomy, culture and history of the regions it cruises through while also appealing to their unique interests. Themed cruises are also available that range from golf, tennis and biking, to art appreciation, opera and wine.

Prices are all-inclusive and include all meals, regional fine wines, a champagne welcome, an open bar, all excursions and admittance fees, opportunities for independent bicycle exploration and use of other hotel barge facilities such as a spa pool.
