Wave goodbye to solo supplements

EUROPEAN WATERWAYS is waiving solo supplement on some of its cruises in France, Italy and Scotland throughout May, offering solo travellers the chance to save up to £2,100.

Voyages on offer include the lush vineyards of Burgundy and the Canal du Midi in France; the architecture of Venice and nature reserves of the Po Valley; and the Highlands of Scotland.

Solo supplements are being waived on cruises on is La Bella Vita which sails between Venice, the Venetian Lagoon and the Renaissance city of Mantua. Supplements have also been dropped on Anjodi and Enchante, which cruise the Canal du Midi; Finesse and La Belle Epoque in Burgundy; and Rosa in Gascony. They are also available on the Scottish Highlander the Caledonian Canal.

“Our cruises are ideal for solo travellers who want a little ‘me time’ every now and then, however, also want to ‘hang out with the crowd’ when the mood strikes them,” said Derek Banks, managing director of European Waterways. “We do all the thinking and planning for the six-night all-inclusive cruises, so they can just relax and ‘enjoy the ride.’” www.europeanwaterways.com

Solo travellers comprise nearly 10% percent of the company’s bookings.
