A number of cruises will be available with a 25% discount before the offer expires, the line said.

The Golden Age of Art on the Rhine, Autumn Colours of the Danube and Art of the Danube itineraries have all been added to next year’s programme.

Prices for the seven-night Golden Age of Art sailing on May 8, which includes visits to galleries in Amsterdam, Utrecht and the Hague, start from £1,241.

The lead-in price for the 10-night Autumn Colours of the Danube sailing on November 11 on the Spirit of the Danube, with stops in Budapest, Bratislava and Vienna, is £1,574.

Prices for the Art of the Danube departure on October 27 featuring visits to the Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest and Bratislava’s City Gallery, start from £1,499.

Gardening expert Charlie Dimmock will join a seven-night cruise departing on April 17 on Spirit of the Rhine. Prices start from £1,649.

A themed Gilbert and Sullivan cruise on the Rhine, which features live music performances, is priced from £1,274.

Each cruise in the programme will have a number of dedicated cabins for solo travellers. The line stressed that single passengers should “book early to secure them as they are always very popular”.

Chief executive Nigel Blanks said: “We know our guests want an exceptional experience and real value for money so the river cruises will move to all-inclusive from 2023.

“We’re introducing back-to-back itineraries with 10% off and discounts starting from 25% off in response to their feedback.

“These are in addition to the complimentary chauffeur service, travel insurance and a range of included excursions we already offer.”
