TUI River Cruises has launched its summer 2024 programme, with direct TUI flights from Gatwick and Manchester into Budapest for the first time.

There will be two flights a week from both UK airports to Budapest from May 2024.

TUI has also increased the number of holiday duration options, so customers can choose three-, four-, six-, 11- or 15-night itineraries in addition to its existing seven-and 14-night options.

It also has three new itineraries, which are an 11-night European Explorer, a six-night North Rhine Explorer and a three-night Rhine Gorge Discovery.
