There is something uniquely satisfying about a european river cruise which offers

a journey to the heart of the continent while travelling in comfort and style aboard your elegant river cruiser.

A short river cruise on the Danube takes you effortlessly to no fewer than three capital cities – Bratislava in Slovakia, Vienna in Austria and Budapest in Hungary – while also introducing you to smaller, equally delightful towns and villages, such as Melk in Austria, dominated by its Baroque abbey, and Dürnstein, located among the vineyards of the scenic Wachau valley.

The Rhône and the Saône in France flow through the heart of Burgundy and Provence, regions of outstanding natural beauty which are also renowned for the quality of their food and wine. From gastronomic Lyon and the wine towns of Mâcon and Beaune, your river cruise will also take you to historic Avignon and south to the Camargue and the Rhône delta.

Our 2015 programme features two cruises on the Danube and two on the Rhône and Saône, with itineraries planned for June and September, when temperatures are comfortable and the cities, towns, churches, museums, vineyards and countryside visited extend a quieter welcome.

As ever, a Swan Hellenic guest Speaker will accompany each cruise, teasing out the stories that lie behind each river. You will also be accompanied by a Swan Hellenic Cruise Director and Shore Excursion Manager to ensure that your holiday is an enjoyable one.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard a Swan Hellenic river cruise in 2015.

Kind regards

“The rivers of europe are literally flowing with history. every settlement along the banks of the rivers could write their own story, and many have.

There is always so much to see and something to capture the imagination, from the magnificent cities of Central Europe on the Danube to the luminous clarity of light you can experience along the RhÔne.

There is a serenity about cruising along rivers. You have time to notice the small things, to wonder just how generations past managed to tend those steep vineyards or scale the walls of that indomitable castle hanging precariously above the riverbank.”

Sheila Salmon, Cruise Director

On board, the atmosphere is relaxed and congenial. Attentive staff wait at your table and serve you drinks on deck. Menus offer a mix of regional and international dishes. There are no seating plans and the dress code is smart casual.

Disembark the following afternoon to enjoy a scenic drive through the southern Ardèche region, viewing the dramatic Karst gorge and, on our June cruise, enjoy the fragrant scenery of lavender fields in bloom.

Any passengers arriving at the departure port/airport/train terminal without a passport or correct documentation will be refused permission to board the boat/aircraft/train. Failure in this respect is not covered by insurance and no refund can be made. The purser on board deals with all immigration formalities.

At time of going to press, March 2014, there are no mandatory vaccination requirements for destinations featured in this brochure. If you do not normally enjoy good health, you should consult your doctor regarding the advisability of taking a cruise and being away from the usual medical and hospital facilities. Your insurance company must be advised of any pre-existing condition at the time of booking and of any condition arising subsequently prior to departure, otherwise your insurance may be invalid. We ask you to advise us at the time of booking of any disability or illness as you may be required to complete a detailed questionnaire (see below).

Health Care Companions: all passengers with special needs must be self-sufficient and must be accompanied by a passenger who will take full responsibility for any assistance needed during the cruise and in the event of an emergency.

Passengers with Limited Mobility: we feel we should point out that we are not specialists in catering for the disabled. If you or any person travelling with you suffers from a disability, you must contact our office for advice before you make your booking.

At all ports of call featured in this cruise programme, passengers are required to walk up or down the gangway when embarking or disembarking the vessel. There are times when river cruisers are moored up alongside each other; this might mean walking through one or more river cruisers to access your vessel. Please note: There is no lift on board either the Stella or the Bella; there are stairs (spiral staircases on Bella) between decks and steps up to the Sun deck.

Special Diets: we can usually make provisions for special diets provided that sufficient notice is given. A vegetarian choice is available on board and vegetarian snacks are also available on flights. Please indicate any requests at time of booking. We will make every effort to satisfy your request, although this cannot be guaranteed.

Note: The company has the right to refuse or revoke passage to anyone who, in its judgement, is in a physical or mental condition unfit for travel, or who may require care beyond that which the vessel can provide. under such circumstances, no refund, assistance or compensation will be payable.

SHORe eXCuRSiOnS

Shore excursions are included in your cruise fare in every port of call, where available. Please note that the company reserves the right to amend, cancel or substitute an included shore excursion and in these circumstances is under no obligation to make a refund.

Additional optional excursions, including some as mentioned in the brochure, may be available at a supplementary cost. At the time of going to press, March 2014, the exact content of the optional shore excursion programme has not been finalised.

All excursions can be pre-booked although it is also possible (subject to space) to book your excursions on board. We strongly recommend that you pre-book your excursions to guarantee your place. Shore excursion details will be sent to you approximately 8 weeks before departure. Please note that it is not possible to credit the non-use of an included shore excursion against the cost of an optional shore excursion.

TRanSPORT

Trains Check in at stations will generally begin about 1 hour before the train departs. Timetables are not confirmed by the rail companies until approx 10 weeks before travel date. It is expected that those travelling in a Swan Hellenic group will depart london St Pancras in the early morning and arrive in the late afternoon on the return. You can expect to change trains in lille/Brussels. You will need to carry and handle your luggage throughout the train journey. There is considerable walking at the stations. This option is not recommended for passengers with reduced mobility. Assistance cannot be guaranteed at overseas stations. Transfers from overseas stations to/from your river cruiser are included.

Parking/Accommodation

We can offer a range of parking options at almost all uK airports. We can also offer a variety of airport hotels which offer parking for the duration of your cruise. Please speak to one of our holiday advisors for more information.

Flights We use scheduled flights, however, we are not always in a position to confirm full flight details at time of booking and any information that may be provided at that time is subject to change. Flights usually depart london early morning. return transfers and baggage handling between the airport and the vessel are included. Baggage allowance is 23kg on most scheduled flights, although it may vary slightly according to the carrier. All flights are non-smoking. You must check in at airports at least 2 hours before your flight is due to take off. If you do not check in on time, the airline may not allow you to board the flight. We cannot accept responsibility if such situations arise and, whilst we will do our best to arrange alternative transport, any resulting costs will be your responsibility. We reserve the right to determine carriers and routings. All upgrades are on request and subject to price and availability. Please contact our reservations department Tel: 0844 209 9000.

FligHT DelaYS

If flights are cancelled or delayed, it is the responsibility of the airline to look after you. We’ll do our best to ensure that they meet their obligations. dependent upon the length and nature of the delay, these obligations include providing you with meals and hotel accommodation, assuming always that those services are available. If the airline will not provide you with these services, most holiday insurers will cover you if you are required to pay for them yourself. It is essential when choosing a holiday insurance policy that it provides you with cover in this important area. Where the airline that you’re travelling with won’t provide meals or accommodation in the event of delays, we will do our best (subject to availability) to offer you these services at the lowest possible price. It will be your responsibility to pay for these services at the point that you receive them, and to obtain receipts to enable you to make a subsequent claim against your insurers. under no circumstances will we be liable to meet any costs should such an event arise. under eu regulation 261/2004 you may be entitled to claim compensation in the event that your flight is cancelled or delayed but it is your responsibility to pursue the airline in respect of this. Subject to the airlines own restrictions, please make sure that all medications are packed in your hand luggage.

inSuRanCeWe consider adequate travel insurance to be essential, especially for cruises outside the uK. It is therefore a condition of booking your cruise that you are adequately insured. We will require you to give us details of your travel insurance company including the policy number. You must ensure that your policy covers as a minimum, cancellation for the total value of the cruise, delay or curtailment, medical charges, evacuation (from the vessel) and repatriation costs for not less than £5 million. We can recommend great value insurance via our preferred partners.

inDePenDenT TRavel aRRangeMenTS

The Company will have no responsibility, financial or otherwise, in regard to air, hotel, transport or any other arrangements made by passengers with third parties. Passengers should ensure that any such arrangements are transferable and refundable, or covered by their travel insurance, in the event of delay, amendment or cancellation of any of these independent arrangements, or of your cruise. Information regarding embarkation and disembarkation times as well as access to the port will be given in your pre-cruise documentation. Passengers making their own travel arrangements must also arrange transfers from the airport/station to the vessel and vice versa. Your travel insurance policy should be checked with regard to its coverage of independent air arrangements.
