Being single can get savings
Full marks to Avalon Waterways for the good news which should be welcomed by those who travel single-style. The company intends waiving single supplements on some of its most popular peak-season itineraries, which means you get the chance to cruise the great rivers of Europe at a twin-share price. The waiver means singles receive more than a third off the cost of travelling alone, yet still have a luxury cabin to themselves. The deal is valid on 20 departures between April and August this year. For instance! The offer includes the top-selling 15-day Magnificent Europe tour which is now available to singles from $6414. However, you need to check conditions and availabilities by visiting www.avalonwaterways.com.au
