Dear Vacations To Go Customer,

Gate 1 Travel has released its European river cruises for 2019, along with early booking discounts of up to $1,200 per couple for our customers.

The upfront rate of a Gate 1 sailing includes your river-view cabin, onboard meals, late-night snacks, unlimited wine and beer with dinners and shore excursions led by licensed guides. There's free Wi-Fi in public areas of the ship. Just unpack your bags and settle in for a leisurely journey.

Save $200 to $1,200 per couple ($100 to $600 per person) off 2019 sailings on the Danube and Rhine and "tulip time" cruises in the Netherlands and Belgium. Or, choose a departure that encompasses the Danube, Main and Rhine in one panoramic voyage. Book by June 4.

Five ships will sail in Europe for Gate 1 next year, carrying 136 to 144 passengers each. They are outfitted with sundecks, cozy bars and lounges, fitness rooms, self-serve coffee and tea stations and other amenities for a comfortable and relaxing trip. The newest vessel, the MS Monarch Empress, features French balconies with most of its cabins.

On a Danube sailing, guests can stroll the cobblestone lanes of Passau, see one of the oldest stone bridges spanning the river in Regensburg (whose medieval Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site) or drive along the Ringstrasse, Vienna's main boulevard lined by monuments and palaces.

Gate 1's Rhine River cruises call at towns like Breisach, which was almost completely destroyed in World War II and then restored to its original historic character; Koblenz, where walking tours highlight the narrow lanes and picturesque squares, fountains and Romanesque churches; and Strasbourg, an Alsatian city that combines French and German cultures.

Gate 1's tulip time cruises depart from April 20 through May 1, and guests can explore places like Nijmegen, one of the oldest towns in the Netherlands, and Antwerp, where guild houses edge the medieval square known as Grote Markt. Highlights of these itineraries are excursions to the colorful floral displays of Keukenhof, which is open for just a few weeks each spring, and to the Delta Works, a massive chain of dams, locks and dikes that was named one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
