An impressive line-up with a new ship on the Douro River, a new cruise partnership with Hurtigruten and great airfare offers, are just a few of the features that Travelmarvel has introduced to help travel agents secure bookings across its range of European journeys in 2024.
The program offers 25 itineraries ranging from eight to 28 days in length with a brand-new custom-built ship headlining the release. The brand-new river ship, MS Estrela has been custom designed for the Douro River and is due to set sail in June 2024.
The ship will be used on Travelmarvel’s 8-day Douro Discovery cruise which starts in Porto and includes 11 towns, villages and cities, with highlights including a Flamenco show in Salamanca and a delicious dinner at a traditional Portuguese quinta. Prices start at $4,795 per person, twin share, with Earlybird savings of up to $2,600 per couple which includes an Early Payment Discount of $600 per couple, valid when paying in full 10 months prior to departure.
Also new for 2024 is Travelmarvel’s partnership with Hurtigruten offering a 10-day Norwegian Coastal Express. Begin with stays in Oslo and Kirkenes before traversing the Norwegian coastline with five nights aboard a Hurtigruten vessel accompanied by an experienced Travelmarvel Tour Leader. Local guides will provide insights into the region’s history, geography and geology with a range of onboard lectures and onshore excursions. Prices begin at $5,945 per person, twin share, with Earlybird savings of up to $2,500 per couple including a limited time $1,500 per couple Early Payment Discount when booked by 31 August 2023 and paid in full 10 months prior to the departure date.
Travelmarvel’s most popular trip, the 15-day European Gems from Amsterdam to Budapest returns for the 2024 season to explore the historic towns of Rüdesheim, Würzburg, Bamberg and Nuremberg and has guided tours of Regensburg and Melk Abbey. Travelmavel’s custom-designed, state-of-the-art river ships launched just last year have become a draw card for this flagship itinerary. The starting price for this cruise is from $6,245 per person, twin share with flights included and a bonus $1,500 per couple Early Payment Discount when booked by 31 August 2023 and paid in full 10 months prior to the departure date.
Travelmarvel’s Head of Product for Europe, Sarah Latimore, said the Europe itineraries have been designed to enable guests to get the most out of their holiday with journeys including expert guides to immerse them in the local way of life, experiences to tick off all the must-see’s, hidden highlights and absorb the history of the region.
