How to save $1,000 and fly free

Travelmarvel, sister brand to APT, has this week announced three new ships – and a series of savings on next year’s sailings.

Book in the next 12 weeks, and get $1,000 off per couple and free flights. There are savings of $3,000 per couple for coastal cruising. A big investment in new ships and refurbishment comes as river cruise numbers are rising around the world. The line is also expanding its offering in small ship coastal cruising. Travelmarvel’s new 91-cabin Contemporary Class European Gems river ships will set sail next year, along with newly refurbished Classic Class River Ships, the Travel Marvel Diamond and Jewel. MS Rossia has also been refurbished, and now features new walk-out balcony cabins. In Croatia, the Princess Eleganza will sail from Dubrovnik to Zagreb with just 35 passengers on an exploration of the remote island of Vis, a day spent among the dramatic waterfalls of Krka National Park, and a walking tour through the cobblestoned streets of Dubrovnik’s World Heritage-listed Old Town. Prices for Travel Marvel’s 8-day Adriatic Coast & Dalmatian Islands start at $3,895 per person, twin share, including Early bird savings of $500 per person. see travelmarvel.com.au
