March 2014 Travel Tips and Tales Newsletter
Greetings!
We are witnessing very exciting times for the river cruise industry! This month has been huge for this industry with a number of river cruise companies christening new ships in Europe and another new company starting service.

We are especially excited to hear about the christening of Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection’s new super-ship, S.S. Catherine in Avignon, France (we’ve taken four Uniworld cruises and thoroughly enjoyed everyone of them). S.S. Catherine will be cruising the Rhône and Saône rivers in Burgundy and Provence.
Also, mega-congratulations go out to Viking Cruises for their Guinness World Record christening of 16 new Viking Longships in The Netherlands, Germany and France. Viking also christened 2 new ships in Portugal and they will cruise the beautiful Douro River.
VIKING LONGSHIP CHRISTENING
More new river ship christenings are coming up in the next few weeks and months (Tauck MS Inspire in Basel, Switzerland on April 3 and AmaWaterways AmaSonata in Germany on July 22). Also, Emerald Waterways will be operating European cruises starting in the summer.
We are looking forward to cruising with all of these companies in the not so distant future… but where should we go first? Let us know which cruise company and itinerary you want us to start with, and also tell us which river cruise is on your bucket list.
