A BOUTIQUE RIVER CRUISE LINE · PRIVATE SALE · BY INVITATION
The Quiet Quay
113 exclusive selected sailings aboard five-star boutique river ships. Privately negotiated fares we simply can't advertise — the ship's name and the operator are revealed when you make your booking request. Nothing is taken as a commitment until you've seen every detail.
WHAT THIS MEANS
A boutique river cruise line, sold the quiet way.
The Quiet Quay is not a run-of-the-mill tour operator catalogue. It's a hand-picked private sale: one leading river cruise line's finest sailings, negotiated at a price that can't be published openly — booked personally by Kat & Simon, with everything included from the moment you step aboard.
- One fixed fare per stateroom grade — no dynamic pricing, no last-minute surprises
- Flights, transfers, all meals, drinks with dinner and included excursions
- Five-star boutique ships — intimate, with balconies and fine dining
- Booked and protected through Kat & Simon at Hays Travel — ABTA L9515
