A river cruise gives you the opportunity to visit several countries in one holiday and see the most famous sights of every town and city that you visit. Iconic capitals such as Vienna, Budapest, Amsterdam, Paris and Beijing all feature on river cruise itineraries but of course, if you want to concentrate on one particular country or area of a river, then that’s fine too, as there are hundreds of itineraries to choose from. And then there’s the scenery. Beautiful countryside, wine-rich valleys and dramatic gorges are all yours to experience as you travel and with a river cruise, the scenery is constant and ever changing. As you travel from port to port, you’ll see wonders both natural and man-made, passing through stunning valleys and intricate lock systems. River cruise vessels offer you your own personal view of this scenery when you’re spending time in your room, so whether it’s a picture window, French Balcony or Veranda, you’ll be able to take in the ever changing horizon as you travel from port to port. Aboard a river cruise you will find facilities akin to a stylish, state-of-the-art hotel. Enjoying fine dining every night, often using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, you will also benefit from the services of experienced staff and crew who will be on hand to cater to your every need. As evening falls, return to your cabin to enjoy contemporary accommodation with all of the facilities and features you would expect, including flat screen televisions, Wi-Fi, luxury linen and complementary bathroom products.
