Europe & Southeast Asia

In Europe, the landscapes surrounding the iconic rivers are a wonderful mix of enchanting countryside, charming villages, and fabled cities.

In Southeast Asia, over three millennia of proud history introduces you to Vietnam and Cambodia via the awe-inspiring Mekong River.

The historic Danube

To traverse the mighty Danube River, the longest in Western Europe, is to journey through the very heart of the continent. So vital is the Danube, four capital cities call it home—Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade. As you sail, each destination showcases Europe’s great variety of heritages, cultures, and traditions. Beyond the inspiring capital cities, the Danube promises dramatic natural beauty.

The fairy tale Rhine

The Rhine River crosses a fairy tale-like landscape of age-old castles, medieval towns, and historic cities. Rising from the Alps of central Switzerland and draining into the North Sea in the Netherlands, sail the Rhine to uncover the centuriesspanning story of this vital European waterway. Some of the continent’s most historic and beautiful destinations call the riverbanks home, including the stately Strasbourg, and the romantic, Rüdesheim.

The elegant Rhône

Carving its way through rugged glacial mountains, the Rhône River flows from the alpine landscapes of Switzerland and France before draining into the warmer climes of the Mediterranean Sea. Along the river’s path, parcels of green land stand separated by stonewalls opening up into illustrious vineyards, vibrant orchards, and prosperous towns. Here, you’ll find longstanding Gallic heritage evidenced across the sweeping landscapes.

The majestic Mekong

Along the meandering Mekong River’s epic course, ancient spirituality, bustling cityscapes, and tranquil rural countryside await you on your voyage. The majestic Mekong River is a place of extraordinary vibrancy, a treasure trove of natural spectacles, ritualistic cultures, and warm locals. Sailing through the near-mythical geographies of Vietnam and Cambodia is an otherworldly experience as you uncover the natural beauty of one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth.
