Summer River Cruises

Explore

Make the most of the summer sun with a relaxing river cruise along some of the most beautiful waterways in Europe and beyond.

Imagine yourself soaking in the glorious weather on the Sun Deck, mingling with like-minded travellers over a glass of wine or cooling off with a dip in the splash pool as you travel to your next exciting destination.

This summer, you could find yourself along the beautiful waterways of Europe, from castle-spotting along the Rhine, exploring the charming towns and cities that line its banks. Perhaps exploring the UNESCO-listed wine terraces of the Douro Valley will tempt you (Wine-tasting anyone?). On our French river cruises, you could see historic sites along the Seine from Paris into the heart of Normandy or through the natural beauty of Burgundy and Provence and more along the Rhône. Then there's the Danube. A journey along this river offers a chance to explore four incredible capital cities - Belgrade, Bratislava, Budapest and Vienna - and discover the river's musical legacy.
