QUINQUENNIAL SAVINGS

Imagine - relaxing on the deck of one of French Country Waterways' three luxury barges, sipping a Grand Cru wine and snacking on local cheeses, while taking in the aroma of spring and the vistas of the French countryside - while receiving a quinquennial discount. For those fortunate enough to be celebrating a quintennial anniversary in 2010, that's an anniversary that takes place every five years, a discount will be applied equal to the number of years.

For example, 5% discount for a fifth anniversary, 15% discount for the fifteenth year - all the way up to 50% for the golden anniversary. The discount will be applied on select departure dates throughout 2010. French Country Waterways offers 6-night cruises with weekly departures between 04APR10 and 31OCT10 aboard 8- and 12-passenger luxury barges - Adrienne in the Champagne Region, Horizon II in Central Burgundy and Nenuphar in the Burgundy-Cote d'Or Region.
