A-Rosa is Newmarket’s sole river partner for 2019


Harry Kemble harry.kemble@travelweekly.co.uk


Newmarket Holidays will dedicate its 2019 river cruise programme solely to A-Rosa after signing a partnership with the German river cruise line.


The operator will replace its


existing portfolio with all six of A-Rosa’s ships, which offer sailings on five European rivers: the Rhine, Danube, Rhône, Saône and Seine. More than 4,000 agencies have


been sent a 92-page standalone brochure, featuring 64 departures across 16 itineraries, as the programme went on sale April 11. A ‘How to Sell’ guide is being distributed to agents, with in-store and online training available. Agents who complete the


courses will qualify for 15% off their own Newmarket holiday. To mark the launch, Newmarket


and A-Rosa are offering agents £35 for each booking made before May 31, along with entry into a prize draw to win an A-Rosa sailing for two.

“This will enable us to appeal to


a wider river cruise audience than has previously been possible, and the depth and scale of our offering will provide more choice than ever before.” Lucia Rowe, A-Rosa’s head of


sales for the UK and Ireland, said: “This is the first time any operator has dedicated their entire river programme to our products.” An eight-day Classic Rhine
