Titan Launches New Series of Ocean and River Cruise Brochures for 2014

 

Titan (0800 988 5858, www.titantravel.co.uk), the multi award-winning escorted tour operator, has launched a new series of both ocean and river cruise brochures for 2014. These include a new Escorted River Cruise brochure along with a new Cruise & Tour brochure and the third edition of its deluxe river cruise programme in exclusive partnership with Uniworld.

Uniworld

The third edition of the 2014 Uniworld brochure showcases some of the grandest and most scenic waterways of Europe, Russia, China, Vietnam and Cambodia, aboard Uniworld’s fleet of exquisitely appointed floating boutique-style hotels.

On many of these itineraries that are some very significant savings at the moment, such as £2,050 off a 17-day ‘Timeless Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia & the Mekong’ tour departing on the 2 September 2014. The cruise now costs from £2,999 per person (if booked before 28 February 2014) and contrasts the hustle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, with the tranquillity of the Angkor Temple Complex in Cambodia and an unforgettable 7-night cruise along the Mekong River. Cost includes flights, all meals onboard, wine, beer and soft drinks with dinner, 7-nights in hotels on a B&B basis, 7-night cruise, many excursions and Titan’s VIP Home Departure Service.

The majority of vessels in the Uniworld fleet have been designed by Red Carnation Hotels and include original works of art, antiques and elegant furnishings. Each one has an average capacity of 130 guests, the highest staff-to-guest ratio in the river cruise industry and is now rated as a Six-Star experience with guaranteed river-view staterooms and exceptional award winning fine dining throughout.

A further enhancement to the VIP Home Departure Service for passengers travelling with Uniworld this year is the addition of friendly Titan airport representatives to assist in the check-in process.

Escorted River Cruise

Also out this month is the second edition of the escorted river cruise brochure. New for 2014 is the 8-day ‘Highlights of Belgium and the Netherlands’ cruise. This is a no-fly holiday and passengers travel in a comfortable coach to Cologne, via Eurotunnel, and then board the all-inclusive A-ROSA Viva.

Cruise & Tour

The second edition of the 2014 Cruise & Tour Brochure is out at the end of January and combines the freedom of a journey by sea with all the excitement of a land based tour. Titan pioneered these innovative style holidays back in the 1990’s to deliver the best of both worlds and the popular concept has now developed into an exciting range of globetrotting tours from exotic adventures in far flung corners of the globe, as well as experiences much closer to home. 

New for this edition is a series of four tours that have been combined with a Fred. Olsen cruise, such as the 29-day ‘Great South American Odyssey’. Providing the perfect introduction to Latin America the cruise on board the Fred. Olsen’s Black Watch is combined with the rhythms of Rio, the majestic Iguazu Falls, Buenos Aires and the spectacular glaciers of Chile. Departing in January 2015, prices start from £4,295 per person including flights, 6 nights in hotels, 20-night cruise, 67 meals, Titan on-board cocktail party, various excursions, and Titan’s VIP Home Departure Service.

For those wishing to explore the legendary beauty of the Adriatic Sea the 13-day itinerary ‘Those Who Seek Paradise on Earth’ begins in Venice, and voyages south via the Croatian port of Split to Dubrovnik and the sites of ancient Greece, finishing in Athens.
