Agents attending Clia’s RiverView conference in Vienna in March heard what has become a very familiar story in the<br />
past 12 months. Namely that cruising – and in this instance river cruising in particular – is well and truly back. Indeed<br />
those were the exact words AmaWaterways UK managing director Jamie Loizou used when opening the conference.<br />
There’s more news and comment from the event, as well as updates from the sector and a first-hand report from a<br />
Nicko Cruises' voyage on the Danube in a 22-page river cruise special in this month’s issue of <strong>Port</strong>s & <strong>Destinations</strong>.<br />
Two new features make their debut this month. Inspired by the<br />
conference location, A day out in … kicks off with Vienna, while Press<br />
pause in…, focusing on the ‘stay’ side of a cruise-and-stay holiday,<br />
starts with a look at Doha.<br />
All that plus an in-depth look at Gibraltar, a report from Fred Olsen<br />
Cruise Line’s Bolette and plenty of cruise news.<br />
