Luxury River Cruises

Luxury river cruises are a great way to combine a relaxing holiday with the opportunity to explore a variety of countries, cities, and hidden gems in a relatively short space of time.

The Cruise Line is one of the UK’s leading luxury cruise specialists and would be delighted to assist you in booking your river cruise holiday. We offer fantastic special offers on voyages with AmaWaterways and Scenic River Cruises.

Why Choose A River Cruise

In recent years, river cruises have become an increasingly popular holiday choice because they offer all the attractions of an ocean cruise holiday but on a smaller, more intimate scale.

Here are five of our favourite reasons to consider a river cruise:

  • Explore great destinations, including Europe, Asia and the USA.
  • Fantastic standard of onboard accommodation, dining options and service.
  • Front-row seats to some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
  • River ships dock in the heart of cities and towns without transfers or shuttle buses.
  • Smaller capacities enable guests to forge a real sense of camaraderie onboard – which is also fantastic for solo travellers.

Included on a luxury river cruise holiday

What is included on your river cruise holiday largely depends on your chosen cruise line. Many operators include onboard dining, wine with meals, selected shore excursions and onboard WiFi as standard. However, there are also lines – like Scenic and Tauck – which include flights and transfers in the cruise fare and offer complimentary drinks throughout your voyage.

Selected cruise lines that visit exotic destinations like the Far East will also include land programmes on selected itineraries. These are ideal for allowing guests to explore in-depth before or after their voyage.

Luxury River Cruises – Where to go?

Deciding where to go on a river cruise depends entirely on personal preference. The most popular destination is undoubtedly Europe. Home to numerous rivers that cross many countries, Europe is highly recommended, especially if you are looking to experience river cruising for the first time.

A region of contrasts, all of Europe’s rivers have attractions and highlights: The Seine blends the bright lights of Paris with the historic towns of Normandy, while the Danube offers castles, picturesque scenery and a fantastic way of seeing cities like Budapest and Vienna.

Other options include the enchanting Rhine, which sailed from either Amsterdam or Basel and the Douro, which flows through Portugal and is perhaps the best European option during the summer, owing to the superb weather and beautiful vineyards and countryside.

Alternatively, why not head to the USA and experience a river cruise on the legendary Mississippi or the Columbia and Snake Rivers? Thanks to specialist operators like American Cruise Lines, the USA’s great rivers are now easily enjoyed on a cruise. They are a must if you are interested in American history, culture, music and food.

However, if you seek something a little more exotic, several river cruise lines offer itineraries in Asia along the Mekong, the Irrawaddy, and the Yangtze. Steeped in ancient mysticism and with no shortage of beautiful landscapes and history, these rivers offer the best way to explore great countries like China, Vietnam, and Cambodia at close quarters.
