Ultimate Relaxation

When you think about going on holiday, relaxation is generally your top priority, along with experiencing a little adventure and a new culture. House of Travel offers the ultimate in relaxation and comfort with their new range of river cruising itineraries, in conjunction with Avalon Waterways. River cruising offers the absolute best of both worlds when it comes to travel – every detail is taken care of, so you can just relax, and you have every opportunity to explore new places every day. Unlike ocean cruising, you are up close and personal with the scenery, and can be on and off the ship as much or as little as you choose. The added bonus is that every room has a view, so you can unpack, relax and completely immerse yourself in the culture. The cabins are spacious, well thought out and beautifully appointed, as are the common areas, so you will feel equally at home curled up in your room or in one of the lounges or outdoor areas. The atmosphere onboard is welcoming and intimate, so whether you are travelling alone, or with a friend or partner, there are plenty of ways to make new friends and socialise, either at meal times or during excursions. For those with slightly delicate sea legs, there is barely any discernible motion under sail, so motion sickness is a very unlikely issue. The staff aboard cater to your every need – and for those who appreciate fine food and wine – the service on offer aboard an Avalon Waterways ship is second to none; there is an emphasis on innovative, fresh food and local specialties. Packages include all meals while cruising, sparkling wine with breakfast, regional wine & beer with lunches and dinners, professional Cruise Director; local guides for sightseeing; complimentary Wi-Fi access onboard; port charges & gratuities.
