Fred. Olsen River Cruises has launched its new 2020 programme on Brabant, with 26 itineraries, covering 43 ports of call.
In 2020, the cruise operator will be introducing 10 maiden calls on board 156-guest Brabant, in five new areas, showcasing the beauty of the Rhine, Moselle, Main and Danube, across six countries.
New for 2020 are maiden sailings into Luxembourg, taking in Grevenmacher and Remich ? as well as scenic cruises of the Danube Delta, with other inaugural calls to: Trier and Nierstein, in Germany; Cetate, Gala?i and Dobreta-Turnu Severin, in Romania; Donji Milanovac, in Serbia; Enkhuizen, in The Netherlands; and Vukovar, in Croatia.
Every cruise will incorporate plenty of daytime scenic cruising, so that guests can enjoy some of Europe's best scenery ? with 14 areas of scheduled scenic cruising included across the itineraries.
Keith Norman, river sales manager for the cruise line, said: ?We enjoyed a very successful inaugural season on Brabant in 2018, but we recognise that we have to build on this first river cruise programme, and learn from our experiences, in an increasingly competitive market. As such, we have been working hard to create a range of even richer, more immersive itineraries to enable our guests ? both existing and new ? to make memories to last a lifetime, both on board and ashore.
?Achieving the prestigious Feefo 'Trusted Service Award' after our first year of operation demonstrated that we have created a river product that our guests love and trust. This is tremendously important to us, as we look to embark on this year's river cruise programme, our second on Brabant, with even more exciting and intriguing itineraries, along some of Europe's finest waterways.?
Brabant guests will also benefit from the new enrichment programme in 2020, where every sailing features a knowledgeable onboard speaker that includes experts from various disciplines such as architecture, wildlife, military history and more.
This new onboard enrichment programme includes John Hughes, from the Royal Horticultural Society, on Brabant's Spring sailings through Holland, and wine expert Martin Ward, who will welcome guests on board, as they travel through Germany's wine region, along the Middle Rhine and Moselle Valley.
Brabant's new 2020 programme includes: 14-night R2007 'Eastern Europe Discovery to the Danube Delta' fly-cruise (flights from London / Manchester), ex Budapest, Hungary on May 31, 2020. Prices start from ?2,899 per person.
