Whether you’ve visited Europe once or a dozen times, you haven’t really experienced the best of Europe until you’ve cruised one of the many popular rivers.

A RIVER CRUISE represents life in the slow lane, sailing along at a gentle pace, soaking up the scenery, with plentiful opportunities to explore riverside towns and cities en route. It is a supremely calming experience, an antidote to the pressures of life in a fast-paced world, in surroundings that are comfortable without being fussy or pretentious, with good food, fun and enjoyable company.

A river cruise is very different from an ocean cruise: you are in constant sight of land, stops are far more frequent, and when your vessel docks, you simply walk up the gangway and into the bustle of the pedestrianized town area, right at the heart of things. You’ll experience visiting a different destination every day, with the luxury of sleeping in the same bed for the duration of the cruise. During day-time you can stroll along cobbled pedestrian streets of interesting gem-like little towns, feel the atmosphere and meet die locals – after sunset you will be entertained with luxury and delight!

Sailing along historic waterways on-board your floating luxury hotel, you’ll see some of the most enchanting places in the world up close. Your proximity to the shore means that colourful hillside villages, picturesque castles, and ancient ruins are within view from all areas of your intimate ship—the elegant restaurant, the welcoming lounge, the inviting sun deck, and your own beautifully appointed stateroom.

River cruising offers an unparalleled level of convenience, as you often dock right in the heart of town, mere steps away from charming squares, magnificent cathedrals, and bustling market places. You’ll never wait in long lines to get on or off the ship; you’ll never tender into port; you’ll never spend long hours wave watching on a vast ocean (which is inescapable on larger cruise ships); and you’ll never experience rough water or motion sickness—only smooth and peaceful sailing throughout your journey.

A cruise provides luxurious and convenient access to destinations that is hard to match on other means of transport: whether you want to explore the castles of the Rhine, the wine-lands of the Mosel, the stately Volga, or the Rhône, the Douro or the incomparable River Nile.
