River cruising is one of the fastest-growing trends in travel, perfect for experienced or novice travellers alike. Once you’re settled aboard your River Cruises ship, you’ll glide along the world’s most legendary rivers and watch the world come to you.
You’ll see exciting destinations in Europe, Russia & Ukraine, or China up close. With each of our trips, you’ll enjoy a varied itinerary and unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in local cultures and traditions and you’ll experience it all without the 'work' of travel.
Unlike a coach tour where you spend more time on the road than your destination, with River Cruises you’ll visit a port a day on virtually every itinerary. You’ll be surrounded by ever-changing scenery right in the heart of your destination. And your ship will often dock right in the town centre, allowing you to walk off your ship into the heart of your destination.
When you go onboard one of the modern, deluxe ships, you’ll find:
A knowledgeable Cruise Manager and English-speaking crew
The highest standards of friendly, attentive service
Fine gourmet dining featuring traditional favourites and regional specialties
Accommodation in outside, river-view cabins with private bathroom and shower
Beautifully appointed public areas with a single-seating restaurant, bar and lounge
During river cruises the countryside is usually in view, so they are especially relaxing to those who prefer land nearby. River cruises usually last from 7 to 15 days.
Many River Cruise Ships resemble five stars hotels, with sun decks, dining rooms, lounges, fitness facilities, swimming pools and other entertainment.
Most River Cruises have a variety of onboard and off board activities. The latter include guided tours to historic and cultural sites, visiting local attractions, museums and galleries, and other places of interest.
Just picture yourself cruising along the legendary rivers of some of the world's most fascinating countries. Before long, you no longer feel like a visitor as you become completely immersed in a different culture.
Nearly every port of call gives you opportunities to expand your journey through enriching shore excursions, which are often included with your cruise.
