US travel company Gate 1 Travel
is entering the European river
cruise market in its own right,
with the 2016 debut of the MS
Monarch Empress which will
cruise on Holland’s waterways as
well as on the Danube.
The ship is the first to be built
and operated solely by Gate 1,
which opened an Australian office
last year (Travel Daily 22 Sep 14).
The ship will offer cabins
ranging from 140 to 210 square
feet, with 80% of staterooms also
offering French balconies.
Gate 1 will also next year
operate the privately chartered
MS Sound of Music in Europe.
