Anyone have any recommendations for the best site or travel agency to book a river cruise in Europe for September?

We have booked several cruises in the past couple of years. Always had good professional help booking with Joanne Fong at Cruise Connections 604-684-9283 Ext 350. Feel free to mention my name.

My friend Mike sells them and very knowledgeable, and I'm not just saying that because he's a fr, truly is, he has been on around 60+ cruises... PM me if you want his contact.

Vacations to Go was good for us, lots of savings an last minute savings - just came back from a 7 day Southampton to New York on the Queen Mary 2 - $911/per for a balcony suite ($2300 brochure price)

I've used that website too for a princesss cruise- best site for sure for those types

River cruises seem to be a whole different breed then regular mega ships- are your recommendations for specifiy the smaller river cruises?

have not been on a river cruise but do not see where they would be different - Vacations to Go has a river cruises option as well (look at the upper right top of the page) http://www.vacationstogo.com - What I do know about river cruises is that they are much more all inclusive in that they include at least one tour in every port at no extra cost (anywhere from $100 to $150 US pp per tour), beer and wine are included at meals, internet is complimentary, so seem like an overall good deal - on our recent cruise beer was $6 US, wine up to $12 US per glass, soft drinks were extra, internet was $.40 to .75 cents US per min; they generally dock in the center of cities, so little time is lost in getting to the sites; many river cruises offer free bikes, if you like to get out on your own to explore; they are more intimate because you have much smaller passenger capacity; almost all rooms have outside windows/french balcony/full balcony I am currently looking at booking a river cruise in the fall as well for all the above reasons If you have flexibility, don't be too anxious to book too soon. I have been following cruise prices for about 3 years now and have found that there is usually availabilty even 2 months before a cruise is set to leave

River cruise is like a Viking cruise- 110 people kinda thing

A quick search right know shows the best deal for Sept to be on Avalon 8 days leaving Budapest to Vienna starting at $1989 US pp

thank you! Looking for Spain/ Portugal and 10 days. I'll check that site

Krista yes Viking is just one of about 11 lines offering trips

I receive email discount info regularly on cruises from this company. Huge savings and extras at times.

Krista The only Spain Portugal trips are on the Douro River. Viking is the only outfit that offers 10 day cruises, but you are actually on the boat only 6 nights. Doing a Porto to Porto cruise will save you $2500 US which you can use to rent a car and do some independent travel around the area

Paulette do you mean on one of the larger ships like princess or Hilland America? Yes I think we will explore that a little more!

No that is on one of the smaller river cruiser - just change the lenth of the trip to 6 nights and lots of options pop up

expedia Cruiseshipcenters sells the most cruises in Canada.

Book with Viking online! Great deals now. We did one of their cruises last August. Deluxe service and everything is included.

Thank you, I'm looking for my mom. Her budget was $5000 including airfare- I think it's just over her budget so we may look at the bigger ships that do some of those ports. We had a Viking quote today and was $5100 - we'll see!

expedia cruise ship centres. Pm me for information.

flight centre works well for booking anything! they are reliable and usually offer the best prices because they price match with other companies.. just make sure you do lots of comparing before you book!

Use Deborah Hamann-Trou from expedia cruise ship centres . She's great! 604-687-4545

Grace Kwan Markus at Graces cruises.Com I booked a Mediterranean Cruise with her. She does river cruises also.

Sorry wrong site. It's gracescruises.Com

We just booked a viking cruise for September 2017. They were great to deal with directly. They have their own reps & their prices are quite reasonable. Also they often have flights included. Also your mom would have choice of airline to fly with.
