The Joy of River Cruising
Europe has so much history, beauty and diversity. Where the rivers run through it, river cruising is one of the best ways to experience it.
Get your adventure off to a wonderful start by going on optional two to five night pre and post cruise tours. In-between, enjoy a river cruise where everything is catered for you, on a luxurious but unpretentious river ship with a homey and welcoming feel. Open the door for the first time and admire your beautifully appointed room, your home for the next 7 to 14 days.
Look forward to a large choice of excursions included at every port, escorted by the best local tour guides. Hear about tomorrow's destination during nightly presentations from the tour director, at the pre-dinner complimentary cocktail hour.
Enjoy regionally inspired gourmet cuisine, fine wines and craft beers, followed by entertainment from local artists, such as folkloric dancers, storytellers and musicians, to complete another wonderful day, made all the sweeter by friendly and attentive staff you will not want to say goodbye to.
With small ships and very high demand, river cruises are becoming fully booked far in advance. When possible it's best to plan a year out.
