Why River Cruise?
Why river cruising?
An airport doesn't tell you much about a country. But it's rivers – well, that's a different story. River cruising is a more civilized and exciting way to see a destination in all its glory. It's a journey through history and ever-changing scenery. River cruising gives you the real experience. And it does so in style!
The river cruising experience
Amsterdam to Budapest. Lyon to Avignon. St Petersburg to Moscow. Even the names are enough to generate a buzz of excitement! Take each journey and you'll discover the sights no air traveller could see as they soar overhead. Every day you get to tick off a brand new destination and explore your surroundings on an incredible excursion - no sea days here! River cruising is a thrilling assault on the senses. One of the best things about a river cruise is that you'll only have to unpack once, meaning you can holiday without hassle. Think of your ship as a floating hotel, transporting you to new destinations day in day out, picking you up where you left off.
Onboard, the atmosphere is always relaxed and informal. Because you're sailing waterways, not high seas, there's no seasickness to contend with. Your ship is relatively small and intimate, so you don't feel lost in the crowd, but always with enough space to do your own thing. You can get to know your fellow like-minded travellers. There's no mile-long treck between room and deck. Sometimes, it can feel as if the whole experience has been laid on just for you.
