Holland America Line MS Koningsdam
It’s always a thrill to anticipate a new ship joining Holland America Line’s magnificent fleet. But it’s
especially exciting when that new arrival is the first of a new class of ship. For when the 2,650-guest
ms Koningsdam sets sail in
February 2016, she will not
only be the first to bear
that name, she will usher
in a new era of Pinnacleclass cruising. The ship will
head to the azure waters
of the Mediterranean on a
seven-day Premiere Voyage
and continue on a series of
12-day Premiere Sailings
ms Koningsdam
through early May 2016. The debut cruises will explore some of the region’s most popular capitals,
culturally rich cities, charming villages and beautiful beaches.

Quantum of the Seas with Royal
Caribbean
Welcome to the future of holidays
( See page 12 )
The wait is finally over. Quantum of the Seas
– the world’s first smartship – has arrived,
signalling a new generation of holidays, and
boasting even more amazing new features
than expected! In addition to world­-class
dining, pioneering technology and world-first
entertainment onboard, Quantum of the Seas
is bringing some of the best luxury brands to
the high seas.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (Nasdaq:
NCLH) announced a definitive agreement
with Princess Cruises, Ltd. to purchase Ocean
Princess for its newly acquired Oceania Cruises
brand. The 684-passenger ship joins Oceania
Cruises’ trio of award-winning sister ships
Insignia, Regatta and Nautica. The new addition
will be named Sirena.
Upon delivery in March 2016, Sirena will
immediately undergo a 35-day, $40 million
refurbishment in Marseille, France to elevate
the ship to the Oceania Cruises’ standard of
elegance. Drawing on the recent transformation
of Insignia as inspiration, the ship will feature
Oceania Cruises’ renowned speciality dining
restaurants, Toscana and Polo Grill, along with
more recent additions to the fleet such as
Baristas and the cook-to-order grill at Terrace
Café. The ship will welcome her first guests in
late April 2016.
Emerald Waterways
Emerald Waterways wins award
( See page 12 )
Leading industry magazine Cruise Critic recently
presented Emerald Waterways with an award
for ‘Best New River Ships’ At this year’s recent
Editors’ Picks Awards held by Cruise Critic,
Emerald Waterways won a prestigious award in
the category for ‘Best New River Ships’.
Launching only in April this year, the award is a
huge achievement and saw Emerald Waterways
beat a number of competing cruise lines from
the UK and USA for the title. The Emerald Star
and Emerald Sky ‘Star-Ships’ were chosen for
the award by an international team of editors
from Cruise Critic, with the accolade confirming
the excellence that Emerald Waterways strives
to deliver.
Scenic River Cruises
Scenic Cruises’ newest ship, Scenic Spirit, will
debut in 2016 on the Mekong, according to the
cruise line, which has just released details for
the vessel.
The 68-passenger riverboat will sail a variety
of Asia sailings, ranging in length from eight to
27 days. All 34 of the ship’s cabins are suites,
ranging in size from 350 to 865 square feet.
All offer separate bedrooms, living rooms and
balconies.
The Scenic Spirit gastronomic experience
Unlike most other river vessels, Scenic Spirit
will feature four onboard restaurants, as well
as a pool deck with a bar and a full spa that
includes a sauna and steam room. Additionally,
the sun deck boasts an open-air movie screen,
and passengers will benefit from a 1:1 crew-tocruiser ratio.
Celebrity Cruises
Celebrity Cruises has signed a letter of intent
to build two new ships for delivery in 2018 and
2020.
The line, which is part of Royal Caribbean
Cruises Ltd, has announced that the vessels will
belong to a new class of ship for the brand, each
carrying 2,900 guests.
They will be developed under the project name
EDGE and will build upon the modern luxury
experience of the brand’s Millennium and
Solstice-class vessels, according to the company.
“At 984 feet long, 123 feet wide and 190 feet high,
Project EDGE will deliver small ship itineraries
with large ship amenities”, the line announced.
“The addition of two project EDGE vessels to
our fleet delivers on our long-term strategic plan
of moderate capacity growth, and continues
the positive momentum the Celebrity brand
has achieved in the premium segment of our
industry,” said Richard Fain, chairman and chief
executive officer of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.

RiverCruising
There are extensive cruises
worldwide from many different
operators, below is a sample –
Please call for more information
Emerald Waterways
On an Emerald Waterways river cruise, you can expect stylish and spacious ships. What you
wouldn’t have expected is a brand new fleet, custom-built to offer more space per guest than most
other operators and to incorporate many spectacular ship innovations, unique to river cruising.
Including a pool during the day that turns into a cinema at night. Fares include, flights, transfers,
excursions, wine, beer, soft drinks with lunch and dinner, gratuities and Wifi.
8 day Danube Delights from Nuremberg to Budapest - 8 day Jewels of the Rhine from Amsterdam

Magical Rhine & Moselle from Basel to Amsterdam - 10 day Enchantment of Eastern Europe from
Budapest to Bucharest - 8 day Highlights of the Netherlands and Belgium from Amsterdam.
AMA Waterways
Award-winning river cruise line AmaWaterways continues to build upon the industry lead with a fleet of
15 custom-designed vessels. Providing innovative luxurious ship designs featuring step-out and French
balconies, premium stateroom amenities and warm, personalized service
On top of Ama Waterways extensive European sailings they also offer itineraries including pre and post
cruise stays to Vietnam, Cambodia and Africa.
16 day Vietnam, Cambodia & the Riches of the Mekong
10 day Discover Africa including 3 nights in Cape Town, 4 night Wildlife cruise and 2 nights in Victoria Falls
13 day River and Rails of Africa including 3 nights Cape Town, 4 night Safari Cruise, 2 nights Victoria Falls
and 3 nights Rovos Rail.
Fares include flights, transfers, excursions, wine, beer, soft drinks with lunch and dinner and Wifi
Reasons for taking a river cruise
So much is included
All river cruise lines include accommodation and
food in the cruise fare, and many also include daily
shore excursions, wine, beer or soft drinks with
dinner, or with lunch and dinner and gratuities.
Several also now serve free drinks 24/7 and offer
free wifi.
Small and friendly
The size of river cruise vessels is governed by
the length and width of the locks they have to
get through. Mostly they hold between 100 and
200 passengers, combined with open dining in
the restaurant, allowing you to sit with different
people each night and the included wine many
river cruise lines now include in the price, it
makes for a very friendly atmosphere.
manager will narrate highlights along the way.
Inclusive prices from
915pp
£
Room with a view
All cabins on river cruises are outside and most
are on decks one and two and have large picture
windows or French balconies so you never miss
the views.
The world is your oyster
River cruising doesn’t have to mean staying close
to home. As well as river cruises in Europe sailing
through France, Germany, Austria, the former
Eastern Europe and Portugal, there are exotic
journeys on the Mekong in Cambodia, Vietnam
and Laos, the Yangtze in China, the Ayeyarwady
in Myanmar, the Mississippi in America and the
Brahmaputra and Ganges in India.
It’s so easy
Just get on board, unpack and enjoy the scenery
as your floating hotel takes you on a fascination
journey visiting numerous iconic towns, cities and
villages. Mostly you will moor in the heart of the
cities you are visiting so you can walk to see the
sights (but often shore excursions are included),
most other times it’ll just be a short bus ride to
the main attraction.
Modern living
The newer cruise vessels are a million miles away
from the older tonnage that dominated the market
until recently. Book one of the new builds and
you have a balcony or sun lounge. Large suites
and your vessel will likely have a small speciality
restaurant as well as the main dining room. Most
will offer wifi throughout the vessel (often at no
extra charge) and entertainment systems with built
in films and music, as well as TV channels.
Watch the world go by
River Cruise itineraries often have half day ashore
and half day sailing, but unlike sea days on the
ocean, on a river cruise you’ll always have a view
of town, villages, cities and the countryside you
are passing through. There’ll be talks from guest
speaker, wine or beer tasting sessions, or cookery
demonstrations, and as you cruise through places
such as the Rhine Gorge or Iron Gorge, your tour
It’s smooth sailing
A river cruise is perfect if you are worried about
seasickness as choppy seas are never a problem.
The only thing you do need to be aware of is that
itineraries can be affected by low or high water.
Not enough water and the boats can’t cruise, and
too much they can’t get under bridges. In these
cases coaches will be used to bus you to and from
the key attractions.
Terms and conditions apply. Subject to availability/change. Prices were correct when going to print. 10

Ship
Quantum of the Seas
and Chas
Chas and Davina experienced the latest cruise offerings.
- Davina
The new breed of
ship from Royal
Caribbean
is
a
class apart from
all the other Royal
Caribbean fleet.
The entertainment
has the real wow
factor with the
extendible podium
called North star
which take you up
and over the ship for
a birds eye view and
the I fly which is a vertical wind tunnel giving you
the experience of skydiving, Bumper cars, state of
the art robotic screens and these are on top of the
flowrider, climbing wall and ice rink found on other
Royal Caribbean ships.
Inside cabins have a virtual balcony which has a
view of the sea from a real balcony even including
the hand rail, amazing!
Dynamic dining gives you the ability to eat when
and where you want, bookable in advance or
through the ships app.
Check yourself in prior to arrival even uploading
your own photo to your cruise card (much better
that the passport/prison style you normally get),
making check in much quicker than normal.
We are really looking forward to Quantum’s sister
ship Anthem of the Seas sailing from Southampton
in summer 2015.
Nothing has changed still the same excellent
service. Staff always seem so happy. Inclusive
drinks and gratuities makes everything relaxed
and social. This year I took my mother who is a
regular cruiser, her first time with Azamara she is
now hooked.
Emerald is a new river cruise company with two
purpose built ships and another two to arrive
April 2015. The pool converts to a cinema in the
evening, lots of open decks space so you get an
all around view which is especially good through
the locks. The experience was just amazing so
much included, in 7 nights we visited 5 countries
and with all the excursions included we were really
able to see everything. Drinks were included with
lunch and dinner which was a nice touch and all
gratuities included.
Adventure of the Seas
Davina and Chas
Azamara Journey
Emerald Star
- Davina
River cruising is such a growing market, with many
or our clients wanting new experiences. When
Emerald waterways offered me the opportunity of
sailing for 7 nights down the Danube I couldn’t resist.
We travelled on Adventure of the Seas in May as a
family group for a special birthday. It was perfect
for this with so much to do there was something
for all ages. This style of ship really works well
for family groups as we had teens to oldies. The
teens were up the climbing wall, roller skating and
ice skating while the oldies watched or people
watched around the ship. We could all meet up
for drinks and the evening meal where the oldies
went to the live shows and the teens to the disco.
Having the drinks packages meant that everyone
was free to do their own thing.
Azamara Journey – Davina
This year for the fourth year running I cruised
with Azamara, my first on the Azamara Journey.
