Discover the beauty of Europe's most iconic waterways

Uncover the historic Danube

To sail the Danube is to journey through the heart of Europe, passing some of the world's most elegant, vibrant and influential cities. Many of Europe's great capitals sit along the course of this beautiful waterway, including Budapest, Vienna, Bratislava and Belgrade, a kaleidoscope of history, culture and heritage. Travel through five countries as the Danube carves its way through the picturesque landscape of lush green slopes, wine-producing villages and historical monuments.

Discover the fairytale landscape of the Rhine

The fairytale-like landscape of the Rhine evokes grand visions of German Romanticism. Here, you’ll discover an ethereal landscape of castles, fortresses, ruins and hilltop vineyards. Legendary monuments stand in testament to the region’s mythology, a source of artistic, poetic and literary inspiration throughout the centuries. Sail through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Rhine Gorge, a geological and historical wonder, before touring the romantic and welcoming city of Koblenz, boasting spectacular views of the Deutsches Eck.

Fall in love with the Douro Valley

In the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Douro Valley, enchanting landscapes invite you to explore. Home to idyllic towns and villages and some of the most breathtaking views in Europe, two millennia of wine-growing tradition shape the communities along the Douro River. Here you can explore the history and tradition of northern Portugal’s Port wine-making region and taste the famed produce straight from the source. Feel revitalised during an EmeraldACTIVE walk through the spectacular collage of hilltop towns, olive groves, and vineyards, and enjoy a special EmeraldPLUS evening at the prestigious Quinta da Pacheca winery, where you’ll try local cuisine with exquisite views of its extensive private grounds.
