The new flexible approach to river cruising provides passengers with more choice relating to dining and sightseeing options. Included sightseeing will be offered at three different levels: Leisurely Sightseeing where a certified local guide shows the destination?s highlights in a relaxed and unhurried way; Traditional Sightseeing will be led by a certified local guide to explore a wide range of sights at a moderate pace and Essential Sightseeing will show the must-see sights, with plenty of time for guests to explore on their own.
The range of itineraries has also been increased with the introduction of four new cruises including the 13-day ?Highlights of Germany? on the Danube Canal, Main and Rhine rivers as well as the nine-day ?Austrian Highlights & Bavaria? and ten-day ?Capitals of Central Europe?, which both sail the River Danube.
