A River Cruise gives you the perfect opportunity to see the sights along the rivers which you would not normally see when travelling by coach, taxi or train. It's a unique way to travel offering ease, breathtaking sights along the way and fine dining onboard. As you travel from city to city, you can relax with a glass of wine, taking in all the wonderful sights. As an added experience, we always recommend extending a few extra nights at either end of your sailing. This gives you extra time to see the sights at your leisure in these extra two cities.

River cruising is a smaller, more intimate experience than Ocean cruising. If you are already an avid cruiser, we would certainly recommend this option if you are looking for something new to try with more sightseeing options. It allows you to explore charming picturesque cities that are not accessible to the larger ocean ships. In addition, to destinations such as the Nile in Egypt and the Mekong river to name a few.

As the ships are smaller, you can often dock right in the city, giving you the opportunity to explore with ease. Many sites and attractions can often be found within easy walking distance due to their location which adds to the experience and saves time travelling. As you are not in the ocean, you will also find the sailing to be very calm as there's no waves on a river. Plus you can experience how the locks work as you travel the rivers.
