More News From World of Cruising

It's been in the works for several weeks now, but World of Cruising is officially a sister company with River Cruises Europe, Britain's top website for everything to do with European river cruising.

Our owners, Real Response Media, have acquired the website to add to their growing cruise portfolio, and we will be sharing content, links and brand recognition with each other in the weeks and months ahead.

River Cruises Europe is a great one-stop-shop for all things to do with cruising along the likes of the Rhine, Danube, Rhone, Seine, Elbe and other smaller rivers, detailing all the cruise lines and the areas they cover, with great photos, video and the latest news and special offers.

And, as things develop, there will be a great opportunity to enjoy even more cruise events and insights into this fascinating business.

Real Response Media Director Chris Pitchford says: “We’re delighted to be the new owners of River Cruises Europe, which is already an

excellent resource for all things to do with river-cruising and which we intend to build even further in future. 

"With the expertise behind our cruise magazine - which already includes a section on river-cruising - and our other marketing and database contacts, we aim to provide a fully independent, fully up-to-date website that gives people everything they need to make a sound and informed holiday choice.”

Fellow RRM Director Matthew Underhill adds: “We know how much river-cruising is expanding and increasing in popularity and we want to ride that wave of interest and contribute to even more growth in future. And we also now have great synergies between the range of publications to allow for cross-marketing and great brand recognition.”

We will be sure to pass on more news as it happens, but be sure to add www.rivercruiseseurope.co.uk to your favourite websites, and add @RiverCruisesEU to the Twitter accounts you follow (as well as @WorldofCruising!).

It's A Fantasy Float-Out

Disney Cruise Line are now firmly on course for the arrival of their new Disney Fantasy vessel in March with the official float-out today of the 128,000-ton ship at the Meyer-Werft Shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.

The second new ship in as many years, DCL will unveil the ship with inaugural events in both New York and Port Canaveral  (Florida) in March, when Fantasy will also start regular 7-day Caribbean voyages from the line's purpose-built terminal just 45 minutes from Walt Disney World.

Numerous bloggers and Tweeters were in Papenburg for the big event - which included the inevitable Disney speciality of fireworks - and you can see the best of them on the following links from Stewart Chiron (@CruiseGuy) and Chris Owen (@orlandoChris):
