Newmarket Holidays has unveiled its 2021-2022 river cruise brochure, featuring 16 itineraries with A-Rosa.
The operator’s 84-page brochure – created in partnership with the German river line – includes a new Classic Rhine and Moselle Cruise, a themed Rhine in Flames option and a Christmas on the Southern Rhine sailing.
Up to two excursions are now included with the cruises in the brochure, which also features departures on A-Rosa’s new part-electric E-Motion ship (pictured), which is due to launch next spring.
To help agents secure bookings, £100 discounts are being offered on a range of seven-night cruises and £60 discounts are offered on five and six-night cruises for all bookings made between July 1 and August 31, 2021.
Newmarket is also offering agents £20 per booking over the same period.

Richard Forde, Newmarket Holidays’ head of trade sales, said: “This is our second brochure to launch in as many weeks, and we hope it will provide a real boost for agents to have something tangible to help them sell our river cruises.
“Alongside all our best sellers are some great new products and a range of incentives and offers to help drive sales.”
Lucia Rowe, A-Rosa managing director, UK & Ireland, added: “This brochure is packed full of our products and we really hope it will inspire agents to promote river cruises.
“We know that many customers are keen to get back on the water and we have a proven track record of sailing safely last year.
“We recently restarted our 2021 cruises and we look forward to being able to welcome our UK guests back on board again soon.”
Agents who make bookings between July 1 and August 31 will be entered into a prize draw to win a cruise in 2022 for a family of four.
A-Rosa is hosting a live training webinar at 9.30am on July 13 and Newmarket will hold training via in-person events at agency branches or Zoom.
