The secret of our success lies in the selection of holidays we have chosen, which offer something for every taste and budget combined with some of the finest river cruising.

Rhine, Moselle, Danube and Main Rivers
From ancient Roman times through World War II, the Rhine has been at the heart of the rise and fall of empires. The Rhine is Germany’s longest river, and it’s in Germany where it encounters some of its most important tributaries, such as the Moselle and the Main, as well as the 106- mile Rhine-Main-Danube Canal, which joins the Rhine and Danube together, thereby allowing ships to sail from the North Sea all the way to the Black Sea.

The Danube is Europe’s second longest river, and like the Rhine, the Danube has played a significant role throughout history in defense of warring empires, as well as being a major waterway for transporting resources throughout Europe. And like the Rhine, the Danube has inspired artists, poets and musicians for centuries, and now these rivers will inspire you.

Dutch and Belgian Waterways
Belgium and the Netherlands, described as the Low Countries, since they are below sea level, comprise the land around the Rhine Delta and the North Sea. Given their proximity within the delta and the North Sea, they often have been threatened by flooding. With the help of protective defenses such as the Zuider Zee and the Delta Works Project, these regions have prospered and have given way to countless canals crisscrossing through these countries.

Douro River Valley
The Douro is one of Europe's most unspoiled rivers with fertile slopes of vineyards and villages clinging to the hillsides. Over the centuries, the river has carved a spectacular and scenic valley endowed with panoramas stretching from stately Porto in Portugal's center of Port wine production to Spain. Discover a world where nature and architecture stand in perfect harmony.

Seine River
The Seine River flows through the heart of Paris and past famous sights such as the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower. It continues meandering through the inspiring country-side to Normandy and Rouen, where it enters the English Channel between Le Havre and Honfleur.

Volga River
The Volga is not only Europe’s longest river, flowing about 2,300 miles, it’s also one of Europe’s most important rivers as it has played a significant role in the lives of the Russian people throughout the centuries. It is referred to in Russian folklore as “Mother Volga,” as nearly half of Russia’s population lives near it, and Russia’s greatest cities can be found along it.

Rhône and Saône Rivers
The Rhône is one of Europe’s longest rivers. It rises high in Switzerland and flows southward into France where it joins with its principal tributary, the Saône River. It then completes its journey into the Mediterranean Sea. Inspiring landscapes of sunflowers, cypress-lined avenues, and bountiful vineyards bless the riverbanks of these breathtaking rivers.
