We are pleased to present the very best of small ship, river and luxury cruising in our Spring Brochure. With the days lengthening and the promise of summer in the air, what better time to book your perfect cruise for this year, or even plan ahead for 2017?

As usual, this thoughtfully chosen sample of our cruises represents just a small number of the hundreds of unique cruises we offer - all with the customary Blue Water exclusive offers you simply can't find anywhere else.

This brochure features a few of my personal favourites. Last year, I had the pleasure of cruising the Rhine on SS Antoinette from Uniworld Boutique River Cruises and in my experience, this is one of the finest ships on European rivers. The Rhône cruise from Avalon Waterways combined with stays in Paris and the glamorous Côte d'Azur, is a perfect way to see the highlights of France. River cruises on the Danube, Elbe, Douro and Seine from leading cruise lines Viking River Cruises, APT, Scenic and Riviera are also included to give a great taste of what European river cruising has to offer.

I am also pleased to be able to bring you a tempting selection of cruises to the more exotic corners of the world. From the dramatic natural beauty of French Polynesia on board one of my favourite luxury ships, Paul Gauguin, to a small yacht in Cuba or a romantic tall ship sailing cruise around the unique ABC islands in the Caribbean, it is possible to experience tropical islands, white-sand beaches and a laid-back atmosphere at any time of year.

If you enjoy immersing yourself in the culture of a destination, try our unique adventure cruise from Iceland to Greenland and Canada in the wake of the Vikings, or our tour to the highlights of Peru. Discover the golden temples and welcoming smiles of the Far East with cruises through Burma, Thailand, Vietnam or China. Closer to home, our Voyages to Antiquity cruise takes you to the ancient treasures of Greece.

Summer cruises include a short-break cruise to the highlights of Norway, a no-fly cruise around the British Isles, or another of my personal favourites, a yacht cruise along the beautiful Croatian coast.

If you have a particular cruise in mind but haven’t seen it in the brochure, please call us – as the UK’s leading experts in river, small ship and luxury cruising we will be able to give you the benefit of our years of experience. Remember that there are hundreds more cruises on our website at www.bluewaterholidays.com. These exciting offers must end on 31 March, so please call our friendly Yorkshire-based team on 01756 706506 to reserve your cabin. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes,
