Titan Travel to charter new ship in 2021

Titan Travel has agreed a three-year deal to charter a new ship for 2021.

The 135-metre long River Discovery II carries 176 passengers across six cabin grades and will operate on the Danube in its maiden season with Titan.

This year, Titan operates Serenade I and Bellejour but next year Bellejour will be replaced by River Discovery II.

The three-deck vessel, built in 2012, will be the larger river cruise vessel in the operator’s two-ship fleet.

A total of 59 Double Cabins have French balconies and 12 Double Cabins have upper windows. The ship has 12 23-metre squared Deluxe Suites and a 30-metre squared Owners Suite.

River Discovery II features in Titan’s latest River Cruise brochure.

Prices for the eight-day Majesty of the Danube itinerary departing from August 4, 2021, lead in from £1,599.

Andy Squirrell, Titan Travel managing director, said: “As Titan’s exclusive river cruising product continues to go from strength to strength, we’re delighted to unveil River Discovery II as Titan’s new chartered river cruise ship.

“As part of our continued aim to deliver the best river cruises available, River Discovery II will provide guests with a more premium offering, complete with spacious lounge areas, as well as our greatest range of cabin options suiting all budgets, including dedicated single cabins.

“We look forward to welcoming guests on board River Discovery II along the Danube from 2021.”

Next year, Titan is also offering a new itinerary called The Blue Danube and Romantic Rhine. The 15-day sailing, departing on August 27, 2021, on Serenade I leads in from £2,699.
