A-ROSA
Ice-skate against the backdrop of Vienna’s famous palaces, wrap your hands around a warming grog while strolling around Bratislava’s market stalls and see thousands of lights and baubles as a brass band plays at Linz’s winter forest. All are experiences available on A-ROSA’s Danube festive Christmas cruise aboard DONNA. Prices for the November 25 sailing start at £1,349pp.

Pandaw
Pandaw has added two new stops on its Mekong, Cambodia, small expedition ship sailings.
The line says these authentic experiences for guests, such as stops at local pottery and craft markets, will be offered from September 2024. The idea is to benefit local communities by spreading tourist visits to new places not called at by other vessels. Pandaw offers seven-, 10- and 14-night Mekong cruises.
