Travel Insider Christmas Cruises
Good morning or afternoon
And happy May Day to you.
I tentatively mentioned the possibility of
arranging a New Year in Vienna cruise for this December/January in
last Friday's
newsletter. This has created a lot of interest, and so I'm
offering it as a definite guaranteed Travel Insider Group Tour and now
have a detailed page of information plus a couple more pages of day by
day itinerary information on the website (links below).
This cruise has understandably also generated some confusion in
terms of whether you should choose the New Year cruise or the very
similar Christmas Markets cruise that we'll be doing three weeks earlier. So here are some comments as to
the differences between the two cruises to help you decide if either
might be of interest to you.

Of course, you could be like me and do both
cruises! But, assuming you decide to do only one rather than both
cruises, then either cruise is sure to delight, just as they have
exceeded the expectations of people who have been on our two earlier
Christmas cruises and one earlier Russian cruise. Choose the one
that best fits with your holiday schedule, and I'll look forward to
meeting you somewhere in December.
One technical note - the application to join
form is rather slow to respond after you've completed it. Please
allow it up to a minute to give you an acknowledgement.
The regular newsletter will appear on Friday
morning, of course.
Until then, please enjoy safe travels
