Cruise Europe with Olympic Champion Barbara Kendall

Cap off a trip to the London 2012 Olympics with a cruise through Europe's waterways with triple Olympic medallist Barbara Kendall onboard the regal River Queen.

Barbara - who is now an International Committee Member (IOC) - will host the 14-night cruise onboard Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection's River Queen, departing 20 August 2012, as it wends its way from Budapest in Hungary through Austria and Germany, to its final destination of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

The cruise will take passengers along three great rivers - the Danube, Main, and Rhine - and to countless UNESCO World Heritage sites taking in amazing sights such as music-rich Vienna, Austria's lush Wachau Valley wine region and the Medieval cities of Regensburg, Nuremberg and Bamberg.

With an enduring love of the water, Barbara is very excited. "I have never cruised the waterways of Europe and I'm sure it will be a relaxed way to experience the rich history and culture of Europe."

Harvey World General Manager Adrian Turner says, "We are pleased to offer New Zealanders this cruise as a post 2012 London Olympics and furthers our relationship as official retail travel partner of the New Zealand Olympic Committee."

The regal River Queen is the most unique river cruise ship in Europe and her exterior resembles the great steamships of the 1930's. The ship was named one of the world's 'Top Small Cruise Ships' by Conde Nast Traveler's 2010 readers.

Prices for the European River Cruise - which includes a choice of five stateroom categories or suite accommodation, all meals - including wine, beer and non-alcoholic drinks with lunch and dinner - onboard entertainment, 16 optional land excursions and use of bicycles - start at $7,995* per person, twin share (*terms and conditions apply).
