River Cruises

Feel at home on one of our hand-picked ships which offer a choice of well-equipped cabins and suites featuring panoramic windows, balconies or Juliet balconies. You will find a 24 hour English-speaking reception on board to assist with any queries and excellent facilities including indoor and outdoor bars, restaurants, sundecks with loungers or tables and chairs and Wi-Fi (additional charge on some ships). Selected ships also offer leisure facilities, such as swimming pools, whirlpool baths, saunas, spas and gyms, as well as fantastic on-board entertainment programmes.

Enhance your cruise with shore excursions and take in iconic sights, visitor attractions, towns and cities along the way. We can include a pre-bookable package of excursions or offer them as optional excursions which can be booked on the cruise. Audio guides are usually included on guided tours.

If en-route overnight accommodation is needed, we offer a great selection of hotels in excellent locations to suit all tastes and budgets. Likewise, we can arrange longer stays to combine with your cruise – our Italian lakes add-on to the Venice cruise on page 13 is a great example of this.

Sit back, relax and let someone else do the cooking! All meals are included with hearty breakfasts and buffet or set lunches and dinners on the menu. Most cruises also include a gala dinner on one night with some also offering themed dinners. A welcome drinks reception is a great way to kick off your cruise and is included on most ships, whilst afternoon teas and snacks are also served on selected ships. We offer both inclusive and full board cruises, the latter of which come with optional drinks packages on some cruises.
