By joining a river cruise vessel you can unpack just once, and then throw yourself into a very special travel experience. So why choose river cruising?

Each day, you awake somewhere new on a river voyage: river cruise vessels can dock right in the centre of key cities: their historical significance relates directly to their geographic position, dominating those highways of ancient times, the great European rivers. After a day exploring, you set sail for somewhere new, watching the scenery pass as you enjoy a pre-dinner swim, or a cocktail on deck.

If you like to learn something new whilst you are on holiday, have an interest in culture, history and architecture, love beautiful scenery, or are passionate about food and drink, you are going to have a ball on your river cruise holiday in Europe, as you learn the language, drink the wine, see the galleries, listen to the music and eat the food.

Comfortable river-view accommodation will feature portholes, picture windows, French balconies or even spacious verandahs, perfect for enjoying the sunshine. Whichever you choose, you will also spend plenty of time on the European rivers up on the top deck for 360-degree views, particularly when watching the skillful manoeuvring through locks or alongside the quay in your latest destination.
