U.K.-based European Boating Holidays is celebrating its first holiday season in the North American market by giving the gift of 10 percent off to all U.S.- and Canada-based travelers who book a 2008 sailing of one week or more by December 31.

The discount applies to all regions of Europe and all categories of boats, including the company’s Locaboat Holidays Penichettes and the luxury Cardinal Boating Europe Class boats. With the promotion, rates for an European Boating Holidays sailing start at $900 per person, meaning that a family of four could cruise their own boat on Ireland’s Shannon River for one week, for about $1,200.
