Dear River Cruiser, This October, the cruise industry has a ‘Plan a Cruise’ focus and this week it’s River Cruising. At RiverVoyages.com, we enjoy helping you plan your river cruise all year round but to support the initiative, we’ve split this brochure by departure season.

River cruising offers so much in terms of cultural experience all to be enjoyed from the comfort of your stunning ship. You’ll visit iconic cities, see stunning architecture, marvel at beautiful scenery and indulge in local produce and you can choose the type of cruise which is right for you.

AutUmn 2017 As the seasons turn, the banks of the rivers you cruise will change in colour to be even more striking than summer’s brightness. The port backdrops will be bathed in rusty hues and the milder temperatures make for very pleasant sightseeing. With architecture to take your breath away, cultural curriculums, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and concerts to make the most of, your autumnal cruise will be rich in experience.

WinteR 2017 A city break in winter brings with it the warmth of festivities which lie ahead.

Wrap up and enjoy beer tasting, the iconic art of Paris if you choose to stay in Europe. If you want to see somewhere a little more exotic though, cruise the Irrawaddy and appreciate the ambience of a monastery as part of your adventure.

The choices for winter river cruising are really quite diverse but all still benefit from incredible offers.

You won’t need to book restaurants in advance and with all dining options included you can dine somewhere different almost every night.

Rather than being tied to a particular table, you can dine wherever and with whoever you like.

Plus, if you’re craving a late-night snack, you can typically benefit from complimentary room and/ or butler services.

All part of the service, expect exceptionally welcoming and attentive crews, there to cater to your every need. With remarkably high staff to guest ratios and only around 500 passengers per ship you’ll never have to wait for elevators, sun loungers or restaurant tables, nor will you experience delays when embarking and disembarking your ship.

During your time onshore you’ll have the advantage of visiting more unique, secluded ports of call and worldwide hidden gems, which are simply inaccessible to larger ocean vessels.
