Trafalgar has announced plans to expand into the river cruise sector in 2026 and in response to agent feedback here’s more details on the two ships, the itineraries and the experiences on offer along the Rhine and Danube rivers from 11 Apr.
TTC Tour Brands deputy ceo Melissa DaSilva says the company has always been about making it easy for travellers to connect with the heart and soul of every destination. “Now, we’re bringing that same philosophy and unmatched experience, valued by our travel agent partners, to Europe’s iconic rivers,” she says. Agents, DaSilva adds, can be confident in the river cruise experience it is creating. “We can’t wait to share that same feeling of ease and comfort, local connection and joy of discovery we’re going to bring to Europe’s rivers aboard our two beautiful ships, the Trafalgar Reverie and Trafalgar Verity.”
