Our favourite River Cruises

River cruising is for everyone! Whether you've done it before, or it's your first time. Here's a list of our favourite river cruises to inspire your next holiday.

1. Amsterdam to Budapest

Popular for first timers

History has never looked quite as beautiful as it does from Amsterdam to Budapest. The old taverns tell a story while the merchant houses store secrets; gothic architecture astounds and romance prevails. Bygone residents have all left their stamp, but they also left good wine, beer and coffee.

2. Portugal

Trending now

Cruise through the enchanting countryside of the Douro Valley in Portugal. Terraced vineyards rise from the riverbanks, historic landmarks pepper distant horizons, and charming townships lay hidden in the hillsides. Salamanca shines with its UNESCO World Heritage-listed old quarter

3. The Nile

Bucket List

The Queen of all river cruises is the Nile. Super popular with all the ancient history we know and love about the Pyramids and ancient Pharaohs – it’s a true childhood dream bucket list holiday experience. The brand new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM ) in Giza is also a sight to behold and another highlight of this journey

4. South of France

Everyone's favourite

Forge a path towards the Mediterranean, gorging on French cuisine as you glide between château and township. Feast on gooey fromage in Lyon, the gourmet capital of the world, while navigating the Rhône to the Côte d’Azur. Balmy nights and bouillabaisse await.

5. Vienna to Bucharest

Up and coming

For a cruise few others think about, travel from Vienna to Romania via fascinating Eastern European destinations such as Serbia, Hungary and Bulgaria. You’ll see ample fortresses and impressive castles while appreciating a beauty that lives in the shadow of Western Europe.

6. The Mekong

Distinctly unique

The meandering Mekong River is the thriving lifeline of Southeast Asia. Experience a different view every day as you cruise through Vietnam and Cambodia. Enjoy excursions to local villages, floating markets and ancient Buddhist monasteries as you experience an unforgettable fusion of distinctive sights, colourful cultures, and ancient traditions.
