Europe River Cruises


Cruise
European river cruises are an increasingly popular way to explore the scenic waterways of this fascinating continent; gently glide along the river and explore historical cities and towns that traditional ocean liners just can’t access.

Short flights to cities such as Amsterdam, Budapest, Venice, Vienna and Porto, among many others, mean your time can be spent exploring the city sights before boarding your purpose built ship for your Europe river cruise.

There are many iconic European rivers, including the Danube, the Rhine and the Douro, that can be enjoyed from the comfort of your river view stateroom.

The joy of European river cruising is sailing into the heart of each destination. You can step off your ship and start to explore. From historic port cities and towns to idyllic villages and luscious landscapes of rolling hills, mountains or winelands. Sightseeing, dining and entertainment options are all easily accessible.

Trailfinders work with all of the world's top Europe river cruise lines such as Viking, APT, Riviera and Uniworld, plus many more.
