Early launch of Cosmos? 2018 A-ROSA programme

Cosmos has launched its 2018 A-ROSA river cruise programme two months earlier to help agents capture the early booking river cruise market.

Agents can book the operator's fully packaged A-ROSA cruises with flights, overseas transfers and a VIP private home pick-up service included.

Offering a choice of six ships on four rivers, the programme features 37 cruise itineraries with 297 departures for customers to choose from, with prices leading in at ?649 per person. An early booking offer is also available for any 2018 holiday booking made before July 31, while a private VIP home pick-up service is available for customers living within a 100-mile radius of their departure airport.

Janet Parton, the operator's head of trade sales, said: ?We are delighted to have the whole A-ROSA product range on sale earlier than last year to help agents maximise sales in this important period. We?re confident that A-ROSA?s key USP?s such as the family offering, spas on all ships and flexible dining will appeal to our customer base. With our newly launched website, sales team and planned training, we will be working hard to communicate this to agents in the coming months.?
