GRJ Goes Off The Rails!

 
Great Rail Journeys is quite literally going off the tracks by extending its product offering into the river cruise market.

The GRJ River Cruise Charter – three state-of-the-art vessels launch in April 2019 - is a five-star luxury offering boasting some of the largest and most generous cabins on Europe’s waterways.

Designed specifically for UK customers, GRJ cruises will offer:

One-way itineraries on all rivers: customers won’t have to see the same section of the river twice
Four flexible ways to connect: customers can choose to reach their cruise by flight or escorted rail, they can select from a range of tour and cruise itineraries, or the cruise can be added on to the end of an existing Great Rail Journeys tour
​Choose a cabin at the time of booking: agents will be able to select the exact cabin for their customers at the time of booking via the GRJ agent portal – just like choosing an airline seat

The charter itineraries include tours along The Rhine, The Danube and the Waterways of Belgium & Holland, and have been launched with a 2019 Preview Offer. Customers who book from 1st April - 1st June 2018 can save up to £100pp on selected River Cruise Charter itineraries.

Commercial Director Julian Appleyard said:
“All of us here at Great Rail Journeys are excited about the launch of our new cruise charter. It gives us the opportunity to offer the high level of customer service our rail holidays are known for on to these spectacular ships”.

All river cruises are now live on the Great Rail Journeys website and available to book. https://www.greatrail.com/holiday-types/exclusive-river-charter-cruise/
