Happy sailing

River cruise holidays often raise a lot of questions - you often find yourself wanting to learn more and more once you have started digging. We've tried to cover as much as possible by answering some of the most common questions we are asked by people just like you, the customer. If there is anything that we haven't answered, give our expert river cruise Concierge a call and they will be happy to assist you.

European river cruising is not advised for wheelchair users, simply because getting around may be a little tricky. Due to variances in water levels along the rivers, getting on and off the ship could involve steep gangways and sometimes requires crossing other ships via the sun deck to get to your port. As lifts tend to stop before reaching the sun deck, it could get difficult.

What’s included in the price?

It really does depend on the cruise line you choose to sail with.

When you see a price it more often than not includes return transport from the UK, all meals on-board, excursions in every destination you visit and on some cruise lines even your drinks will be included.

This varies by line, so give our River Cruise Concierge a call for full details on what is included.

EUROPE

Portugal

Europe is one of the world’s most popular destinations for river cruises and provides travellers with plenty of choice when it comes to the array of destinations and waterways on offer.

From the ancient landmarks and vineclad hillsides along the banks of the Rhine and Danube to the sun-soaked landscapes of Portugal, Spain and Italy on offer for those travelling on the Douro or Po, Europe offers unforgettable cruise experiences in every corner of the continent. Elsewhere, popular European waterways include the Seine, Rhone, Elbe, Moselle, Main and the Dutch Waterways amongst others.

Amsterdam

N O RTH AM E R I CA The USA is a country rich in colonial and native history wherever you decide to explore and its lifeblood for many has long been the mighty Mississippi River. This iconic waterway is the country’s largest and one of the world’s most famous and though it’s synonymous with the glory days of paddle steamers and the Deep South, it actually begins its journey far north in Minnesota. That said, most Mississippi River cruises concern themselves with the south, offering cruisers an authentic paddle steamer experience on state-of-the-art yet historically sympathetic river boats.

Cambodia

AS IA A river cruise across Asia is a truly inspiring experience, with a cornucopia of fascinating destinations and stunning areas of natural beauty to be found along the banks offer the continent's major waterways. Wherever in Asia a river cruise takes you, you will uncover a wealth of intriguing ancient landmarks, deeply spiritual cultures and bustling districts brimming with exciting excursion possibilities and authentic local experiences to savour.

One of the more significant of the Rhine’s numerous tributaries, the Main begins its journey near Kulmbach at the convergence of the Red Main and White Main waterways.

With a length of 527km (327 mi), it is the longest right tributary of the Rhine and the longest river lying entirely in Germany.
