The last few months of the year are the perfect excuse to hop on a river cruise with Avalon Waterways – and now you can save an extra £250 while you’re at it. Picture yourself gliding down the Rhine or Danube as the leaves turn golden, stopping off for wine tastings during the harvest season (because it’d be rude not to). When winter rolls in, swap the dreary British drizzle for twinkling Christmas markets, steaming mugs of mulled wine, and fairy-lit town squares straight out of a snow globe. Fewer crowds mean more space to explore, more time to linger, and more chances to bag those festive gifts before anyone else. But don’t hang about – these savings (and the best cabins!) won’t stick around for long.
