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. Ranging from sedate sojourns on the Danube to a full-blown adventures on the Amazon, our collection takes in the best of them, all handpicked by our experienced cruise specialists.
In Europe, the Rhine winds a picturesque route through Germany, Switzerland and Holland, also joining the Main-Danube Canal to connect with Austria, Hungary and the Black Sea. Other popular European options include meanderings along the Douro in northern Portugal, cultural cruises in northern Italy and wine-soaked explorations of the Garonne and Dordogne Rivers in beautiful Bordeaux country or the Rhône in Burgundy.
In northern Africa, the Nile offers a rich mix of archaeological sites, rare birdlife and croc-watching – a genuine icon of the river cruise world – while to the east, the Mekong courses through Vietnam and Cambodia, sailing among floating villages hardly touched by tourism. In Asia, India enthrals and captivates with journeys along the holy Ganges or Brahmaputra. And look out for our epic adventures that combine river cruises with rail journeys aboard some of the world's most luxurious trains.
Whatever you choose, our specialists are on hand to help you plan, from choosing the right itinerary to adding on everything from flights and transfers to pre- and post-cruise touring.
