Hi Julia, I'm trying to decide between the Bordeaux River Cruise and the Venetian one.  When I pressed book now on the French river cruise and added my first name, the total cost increased by £100 for some reason.  Can you clarify please.  Also, are there many people booked on this cruise yet and is there a spread of ages?  This will be my first holiday on my own since my husband died last year and having plucked up courage to book, I would not want to book something and then for it not to go ahead because of insufficient numbers.
