Wendy Wu Tours has added a new dedicated Indochina cruising section in its new 2014/15 Vietnam brochure in response to demand.

“Cruising is such a growing market at the moment, that it made sense for us to increase our range of cruise itineraries across our entire brochure range,” managing director Alan Alcock said.

In 2014 the company will also operate additional departures of a number of tours in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam and a new 15-day group Ancient Thailand tour.

 

The 2014 Peregrine brochure has been released, featuring the addition of 13 new destinations and 20 new trips.

For the first time, the operator is venturing to Azerbaijan, Georgia, Scotland, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and the UAE.

 

The largest summer program to date from youth operator Topdeck features a foodie trip with lunch at a Michelin-star restaurant and another gulet cruise exploring Turkey and Greece.

More than 100 youth adventure holidays can be found in its Europe 2013 brochure along with a new format and ‘link 2 trips’ icons offering ideas on which itineraries can be linked.

 

Discover the World Cruising’s 2014 Cruising Europe & Exotic Corners brochure showcases intimate sea experiences with Variety Cruises, the more conventional Louis Cruises, and a range of pre and post SeaTour extensions and hotel stays. 

 

Trafalgar has launched an early payment discount of up to 10% on its 2014 Europe and Britain program, with early bird air deals with Etihad Airways, Virgin Australia and Singapore Airlines also available.
