Old cruisers

There are a good number of former BBC employees who would rather eat old news scripts sauced with Tippex rather than spend leisure time with John Simpson, Martin Bell and Kate Adie.

The same cannot be said of Daily Telegraph readers. What seems to have become an annual event in the cruise calendar, a seven-night October trip up the Danube, is selling out fast. Cheaper cabins, from £2,020, have all gone - lowest entry point is now a deluxe balcony cabin, at £3,190.

For those in search of anaesthesia, "there are unlimited complimentary beverages, including top-shelf spirits and cocktails".  I presume these are different to top-shelf magazines.
