BERLITZ AUTHOR TURNS
FROM OCEAN CRUISING TO RIVER CRUISING
Douglas Ward, the
Berlitz author renowned for setting the internationally recognised rating system
for ocean-going cruise ships worldwide, has turned his attention to river
cruising. June 2014 sees the
publication of the first edition of the frank and forthright Berlitz:
River Cruising in Europe (£14.99). Almost every river cruise company
promises ‘luxury’, but what does ‘luxury’ really mean?
With around one
million people each year choosing to cruise on riverships, the guide will be
invaluable for both river cruise novices and converts, as well as for those in
the travel industry. Ward concentrates on the cruises that can be purchased
through specialist travel agents and tour operators, and on seven key rivers in
Europe: the Danube, Rhein, Elbe, Rhone, Seine, Po and Douro , with a rundown of the best sights along those
waterways.
Douglas Ward travels up to 200 days each year aboard the
world’s ocean-going cruise ships and riverships. He is best known for Berlitz
Cruising & Cruise Ships, the best-selling annual guide to ocean
cruising, which in September 2014 celebrates its 30th year of
publication. The first edition of
Berlitz: River Cruising in Europe (published June 2014, 256 pages, £14.99) is
available from all good bookshops.
