Luxury river cruises
Introduction
The world's great rivers offer a unique insight into a country's landscapes, food and culture, and there's no better way to explore them than on a luxury river cruise. From sedate sojourns on the Danube to full-blown adventures on the Amazon, our collection features some of the world's finest river journeys, all handpicked by our experienced cruise specialists.
In Europe, the Rhine winds a picturesque route through Switzerland, Germany and the Netherlands, while the Main-Danube Canal provides a link to Austria, Hungary and beyond. Other popular European options include meanderings along the Douro in northern Portugal, cultural cruises through northern Italy, and wine-soaked explorations of the Garonne and Dordogne rivers in beautiful Bordeaux country, or the Rhône through some of France's most celebrated wine regions.
In northern Africa, the Nile offers a rich mix of archaeological sites, rare birdlife and opportunities to spot crocodiles, making it a true icon of the river-cruise world. Further east, the Mekong flows through Vietnam and Cambodia, passing floating villages largely untouched by tourism. In Asia, India captivates with journeys along the sacred Ganges and the mighty Brahmaputra. And for something truly exceptional, look out for our epic adventures that combine river cruising with rail travel aboard some of the world's most luxurious trains.
Whatever you choose, our specialists are on hand to help you plan every detail, from selecting the right itinerary to arranging flights, transfers, and pre- or post-cruise touring.
