  If you book with an English or German travel agency you will pay roughly half price. In my opinion this is not a deal as nowadays you can book globally and take advantage of cheaper prices.
  Sorry rep.

    The price is based on the quality of services we provide, you can compare our services to English or German agency you mentioned.

    thank you for your feed back

      Guess what? When I ask the Chinese providers there, they will also mention their outstanding quality.
      Fact is, those trips have profit margins of 50-100% and I'd rather give it to the people providing services locally directly. I calculated the different components separately and found that this is a rip-off.
      But don't worry - the German river cruises are the same. Pay 2000+ here or book the exact same cruise with the exact same providers in Germany for less than 1000. Rip-off.

        Not commenting no whether this is a "rip-off" or not, but are you aware of another tour provider offering a similar tour with similar inclusions (features, quality, etc.) for less?

        There are ultra-cheap tours that strand you at shopping areas for hours, in between sightseeing, but you only end up paying around $200 for the whole week. I went on one from Nexus Holiday. Something to think about on the opposite end of the spectrum, monetarily if not quality-wise. Good fun when the tour guide doesn't appear to meet his quota of assisted sales.

        Hi Gallifrey, I would be interested if you had more details about booking the German river cruises directly (eg which websites in Germany). Thanks.

        If you let me know which area (Rhine, Danube into Austria etc.) I can have a quick look. Approximate date (eg between March and May) might also help. The websites are in German, for example: http://www.flusskreuzfahrten.de/
        However, if you could call them via Skype English is no problem - they speak English normally - I have tried it before.

        By the way, the same savings can be had by booking Caribbean cruises in the US rather than at a travel agency in OZ or for that matter in Europe. Done that several times for my parents and saved them about $1500 AUS for a two week trip.

        Good website. Nothing in particular, just general interest at the moment. I was always amazing at how expensive these cruises are & thought there must be another option.
        Yes, we've done a couple of Caribbean cruises & the savings when booking through the US websites is quite substantial.
