River Cruising - Europe & Beyond!
Germany | Switzerland | Holland | Italy | Hungary | China
A wonderfully relaxing introduction to the world of cruising - river
cruising. Enjoy a pleasant atmosphere on board ships with a much
more personal touch than an ocean liner, yet a level of service and
cuisine that would be a match for any of them. The choice of cruises
you will see over the coming pages are taken on board one of three
superb vessels, each with its own style and character. Maybe none
more so than the ever-popular mps Lady Anne - a wonderful 53-cabin
floating ‘home from home’, owned and operated by Captain Wido
Arts, with superb lounge bar, nightly entertainment and spacious
sun deck. Cabins are on three levels. The majestic 4-star ms Serenity
has 95 cabins on board. She was purpose built in 2006 and her sleek
design and distinctive claret and cream colouring is matched by the
level of service provided on board. A spacious Lounge Bar along
with a lovely Lido Bar & Terrace provide refreshment opportunities,
whilst commanding views can be enjoyed from the vast Sun Deck
too. Regular entertainment can also be enjoyed on board. The
Lady Anne & Serenity provide a superb collection of European river
cruise options from short 3-night mini-cruises to wonderful 9-night
experiences along the Rhine & Moselle. A special 5-star cruise along
the Yangtze River is featured on page 34 on board one of Victoria
Cruises fleet of first class river cruisers. With between 100-200 cabins
on board, the personal touch and wonderful atmosphere remains.
All ships have elaborate décor and high ceilings. Facilities on board
are likely to include a choice of restaurants and bars, fitness centre,
library, beauty salon & gift shop. All cruises feature our ‘Door-toDoor’ service, with transportation provided to either your local coach
joining point or airport if required.
There’s so much to see when river cruising across Europe!

Geysers, glaciers, lava flows and volcanic
craters, bubbling mud pools, stunning
waterfalls and geothermal hot springs,
Iceland has one of the world’s most
dynamic landscapes. You’ll step ashore
in four fascinating ports of call as you
circumnavigate the ‘Land of Fire and Ice’.
The remote Faroe Islands, Shetland and
Orkney are stepping-stones in the North
Atlantic on this exciting voyage.
TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Torshavn. Once the site of an annual Viking
gathering, Tórshavn is today one of the
smallest and most pleasant capital cities
in the world. It sits on the southern tip of
Streymoy, one of eighteen islands in the
Faroes archipelago.
Eskifjordur. Eskifjördur is a charming,
yet isolated, coastal village that lies in the
middle of Iceland’s East Fjords, a stunning
landscape sculpted by ice age glaciers.
Akureyri. The town lies at the head of the
60-kilometre long Eyjafjördur, which is the
longest fjord in Iceland. The capital of the
north, which was founded as a trading post,
is today an attractive town with colourful
houses and well-kept gardens.
Isafjordur. Situated just below the Arctic
Circle, Isafjördur is the largest town in
the Westfjords region of Iceland. It sits
on a gravel spit that stands out into the
Skutulsfjördur flanked on three sides by
towering mountains.
Reykjavik. Part old Norse, part modern
city, the Icelandic capital has a quirky
character of its own. Although Reykjavik
is one of the world’s smallest capital
cities, it is home to almost half of Iceland’s
population. Mosaics, murals and sculptures
are found throughout the oldest part of the
town , as are the many brightly coloured
houses with tin roofs.
Heimæy is the largest and only inhabited
island in the Westman Islands, an
archipelago of fifteen islands lying off the
south coast of Iceland.
Lerwick. Originally settled by the Norsemen
in the 9th century, Lerwick was founded as
an unofficial marketplace to service 17th
century Dutch herring fleets. The core of
the town is a maze of narrow, flagstone
streets set behind 18th century sandstone
buildings overlooking the busy harbour.
Kirkwall. The capital of the amazing Orkney
archipelago, the Royal Burgh of Kirkwall sits
almost exactly in the centre of Mainland,
dividing the island into East and West. The
magnificent St. Magnus Cathedral, a legacy
of the town’s rich Viking heritage, dominates
Kirkwall’s skyline.

A marvellous opportunity to sample
the hospitality of five diverse cities in
one unique itinerary that also includes a
transit of the famous Kiel Canal. Whether
you choose to wander through historic
city streets, visit world-renowned
museums, take a leisurely sightseeing
tour, or indulge in a little retail therapy,
this cruise promises something special
every time you step ashore and is one
you’ll remember for many years to come.
TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
Amsterdam. With more bicycles than
permanent residents, the Dutch capital is
both charming and quirky. Aesthetically
little has changed in the centre since its
17th century Golden Age. Beautiful gabled
houses and merchants’ mansions line
serene, tree-lined canals, which are laid
out in five concentric circles and crossed
by numerous bridges. The Royal Palace,
originally built as a Town Hall in the 17th
century, stands on a large square in the
centre of the city.
Hamburg. Germany’s second largest
city has a fascinating history and many
attractions to occupy your day.

Fly straight to the Caribbean and spend
your entire holiday island-hopping in the
warm sunshine...on the VENTURA …
Swaying palm trees, golden beaches and warm
turquoise seas. Lush green forests, teeming
coral reefs and countless natural wonders.
And don’t forget the rum! The Caribbean
islands have it all - in abundance. But these
beautiful and diverse islands each have
their own unique flavour. They’ve kept their
own identities, traditions and centuries-old
cultures. And they’re bursting with treasures,
always with something new to explore…
Lose yourself on Kingstown’s cobbled
narrow colonial streets. Explore the natural
beautiful of Dominica. And find out if you
really can drive through a volcano on
St. Lucia. Travel back to thriving Georgian
times at Nelson’s Dockyard on Antigua,
then lead your own attack on Brimstone Hill
fortress on St. Kitts.
Try to spot the wild donkeys and horses on
charming Grand Turk. Taste the BBQ fish on
unspoiled Tortola. When on St. Maarten will
you go Dutch in Philipsburg or enjoy some
‘je ne sais quoi’ in Marigot? Then, hard as it

You’ll have a day to settle into Oriana
before arriving in Stavanger, gateway to
Norway’s spectacular fjordland. Then sail
north above the Arctic Circle in search
of the mystical natural phenomenon of
the Aurora Borealis - the Northern Lights.
Tromso lies just under 250 miles inside
the Arctic Circle. The city’s Polaria Science
Museum is fascinating and if your pursuit
of the mystical Lights proves taxing, grab

a cocktail - Tromso has more bars than
anywhere else in Norway! Alta is next,
‘The Town of the Northern Lights’. Don’t
miss the Neolithic carvings and paintings
at Hjemmeluft. Picturesque Bergen is full
of historic sites, in particular - Bryggen
- a collection of 11th century, wooden
harbour-front buildings. For stunning
scenic views, take the funicular to the top
of Mount Fløyen. Then enjoy a day on
board as you sail back to Southampton.
Oriana elegantly combines classic
design features such as teak decks and
a tiered stern with delightful Art Deco
touches. Exclusively for adults, she exudes
refinement and luxury. Oriana’s signature
features are a stunning atrium with a
Tiffany glass ceiling and her panoramic

Puntarenas is a great place to see wildlife such
as the scarlet macaw and the capuchin monkey.

AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND
FRIENDS OR RELATIONS IN AUSTRALIA?
When requesting your flights why not
extend your holiday to allow ‘Visiting Time’
either pre-cruise in Sydney or post-cruise
in Perth?
Sailing on ‘The Voyager of the Seas’
Sydney, Australia One of the world’s most
cosmopolitan cities, Sydney offers a plethora
of attractions. Visit the iconic Sydney Opera
House for a behind-the-scenes tour, scale
Sydney Tower to survey the city from on
high, or people watch at legendary Bondi
Beach.
Wellington, New Zealand A red-hot arts
scene, hip wine bars, designer boutiques,
and steep hillsides lined with picture-perfect
Victorian houses - the Kiwi capital has them
all. If you’ve had enough of city trappings,
nearby destinations like Wairarapa wine
region beckon.
Picton, New Zealand Imagine a scene of
regal sailboats floating atop blue waters,
hugged by a picturesque landscape of
rolling green mountains and cloud sprinkled
skies - this is Picton. Also enjoy fine dining,
art galleries, nature trails and more.
Dunedin, New Zealand Were it not for the
absence of the Scottish brogue, you might
think you’d landed in Edinburgh. Both the
scenery and the architecture borrow heavily
from Scotland. Dunedin is also home to New
Zealand’s only castle.
Dusky Sound, New Zealand Steep cliffs
that have been carved over centuries by
dozens of waterfalls surround the largest
and most complex of the many fjords along
the New Zealand coast, Dusky Sound.
Doubtful Sound, New Zealand As cold
mountain water cascades from the cliffs
above Doubtful Sound, it creates an unusual
phenomenon. A dual-layered marine
ecosystem of fresh and saltwater.
A playground for fur seals and penguins.

Milford Sound, New Zealand As we sail
into the fjords of the Milford Sound, even
your ship will shrink in comparison to the
towering cliffs. Situated within Fjordland
National Park, this natural wonder is
protected by its natural geography and a
haven for all types of wildlife.
Melbourne, Australia A melting pot
of migrant influences, many call this
Australia’s cultural capital. There’s
something for everyone, from the 1,000plus stalls of Queen Vic market to the
Abbotsford Convent with its art galleries,
restaurants, gardens, bakery and bars.
Adelaide, Australia South Australia’s easygoing capital is your portal to the rugged
Outback and outdoor adventure, as well as
some of the country’s finest vineyards. Hop
over to Kangaroo Island to view indigenous
wildlife, then hit the wine trail with glass in
hand!
Perth (Freemantle), Australia Welcome
to the gateway of wild Western Australia.
Bathed by an astounding 3,000 hours of
sunshine each year, this metropolis offers
the excitement of big city living, spoken
with an Outback accent. If you tire of the
many shopping opportunities available
prior to setting sail, visit Kings Park, one
of the world’s largest inner city parks,
where you can marvel at the view of the
city skyline or stroll through the colourful
botanical gardens.
DOOR-TO-DOOR SERVICE
This map shows the main area covered by
our standard tour programme for Doorto-Door inclusion. However, the flexibility
of our Air, Rail & Cruise programme means
that depending on the duration or value of
the tour, how many people are travelling
and where ‘outside’ of the territory you live Laver Holidays could STILL collect you from
your front door!
If you are unsure as to whether you qualify
OR have friends or family that may like to
join you from elsewhere in the country
then please contact us. Many holidays will
be available from vast areas of the UK - so
NEVER be afraid to ask. Surcharges MAY
occur on occasions.
