Sail Europe's
Legendary Rivers
We’ve chosen six incredible routes where a range of river cruises can travel. These will whisk you through multiple countries, boasting vineyard-clad valleys,
fairy-tale towns, and grand capitals with gourmet cuisine.
Breathtaking scenery
The Danube
Stretching 1,770 miles from Germany’s Black Forest to the lack Sea, the Danube is a river shaped by empires. Carrying you through 10 countries and four capitals, you’ll see Budapest’s commanding Parliament building, Bratislava’s hilltop castle and Vienna’s Baroque elegance before venturing to Tulln for 2,000 years of Roman history and the UNESCO-listed Wachau Valley.
Enchanting Cities
The Rhône
Coursing 500 miles through southern France, the Rhône unveils the best of Burgundy, Rhône-Alpes and Provence. Sail from the ancient walled city of Avignon to Arles, the Roman port that inspired Van Gogh, before gliding through the Rhône Delta to Tarascon, where legends of a fearsome water dragon have endured for centuries.
Gourmet Cuisine
The Saône
Sailing the Saône takes you through the heart of France’s celebrated culinary heritage. In Lyon, discover the famed Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse market, before continuing into Burgundy’s renowned wine country. Join the Rhône and enjoy truffle hunting in Viviers and visit Tain-l’Hermitage’s famous Valrhona City of Chocolate.
Poets and Philosophers
The Rhine
Celebrated as the river of poets and philosophers, the Rhine has inspired dreamers for centuries as it winds from the Swiss Alps through six countries. Discover four nations in just eight days, passing clifftop castle ruins, forests and rolling vineyards. You’ll travel from Basel or Amsterdam to Strasbourg, Mannheim and the wine town of Rüdesheim, before ending beneath Cologne’s soaring twin-spired cathedral.
Ancient History
The Moselle
A quieter tributary of the Rhine, the Moselle flows through one of Europe’s most beautiful regions. Begin in Trier, where 2,000-year-old Roman ruins stand alongside vineyards, which are now producing some of the world’s finest white wines. Continue to Cochem to sample the red Moselle vineyard peach before joining the Rhine to reach Breisach, known for Europe’s largest wine cellars.
Fairy-tale Magic
The Main
Germany’s longest river, the Main, winds through a landscape of picturesque towns and medieval fortresses. You’ll pass by Nuremberg’s old-world Altstadt, Bamberg’s four-towered cathedral, Würzburg’s historic Marienberg Fortress and Miltenberg’s timbered streets, home to Germany’s oldest inns.
