Adventure into Europe With Riviera Travel Cruise Europe’s most beautiful waterways– the Rhine, Douro, Rhône, Seine, and the Danube, to name a few – on board exquisite ships, complete with spacious suites and cabins – that will make you feel like royalty, many of which come with a French balcony for those ‘ooh la la’ views!

Picture this – along the Danube, you’ll make stops on a quest to find the most delectable schnitzel; Vienna tends to be the top contender for the crown, as it’s hailed as its birthplace. On the Douro, you’ll journey through the lusciously green rolling hills, spotting the famous Rabelo boats that traditionally carry the delicious port wine Portugal is famous for. For some, the Rhône awaits, offering glimpses of the majestic Alps and a chance to walk in the footsteps of the Romans in the old town of Lyon. But, why stop there? Top it off with a glass of rosé fresh from the vineyards of Provence.
