Europe is well known for its historic waterways and a luxurious river cruise is a great way to explore the old continent by gracefully gliding through the endless maze of waterways. For example, the Danube River is a very popular cruise and has a wealth of grand baroque architecture, medieval cities, picture perfect towns and the sights that inspired the likes of Strauss and Mozart.
Sailing by river allows you to enjoy all the conveniences of traditional cruising, with all the benefits of inland travel. Stopping in multiple destinations on every trip, you’ll visit bustling cities and hidden villages, all the while only unpacking once. Even while onboard you’ll be immersed in the local sights, with ever changing views right outside your window.
Docking mostly in the centre of town, you can step right off your river boat and start exploring, independently or with expert guides. Plus, with most river cruises being all-inclusive (shore excursions too), you can enjoy your vacation without having to reach for your wallet at every turn.
