Happy cruising, The RiverVoyages.com team

We’re the river cruise experts with plenty of first-hand experience

As Europe’s leading experts in river cruising, RiverVoyages.com truly understand what makes a river cruise holiday so special. We pride ourselves on knowing more about river cruises than anyone else, and on providing outstanding service to our customers to ensure you have a holiday you’ll truly love.

When you first speak to us, you’ll talk to a member of our renowned Cruise Concierge team. As a river cruise specialist, we have spent a lot of time on board the river cruise ships, so we can offer personal experiences and opinions to help you find your perfect cruise.

My first time on a river cruise was with APT and the experience did not disappoint. The excursions made our river cruise even more enriching, from gentle walks and hikes to bike rides – they made for an incredible experience, I think everyone should try a river cruise!”

Emma, Cruise Concierge

One of my favourite things about Ama is the dining they offer on board, the food choices change every evening and they have something to suit all guests. A must try is the Chef’s table which is a tasting restaurant, this is a really personal experience with the chef and with fellow guests. It’s included in the price and can be booked on board as soon as you arrive!”

Erin, Cruise Concierge

I stayed in a balcony suite and the first thing I should point out is the bed is one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in, perfect for laying on the bed watching the world go by as you cruise along to your next destination in true comfort. With suite guests benefiting from a dedicated butler service, he took note of my preferred beverages and stocked the mini-bar each day accordingly. Luxurious Asprey toiletries mean there’s one less thing for you to have to pack when sailing with Uniworld.”

Kat, Cruise Concierge

I stayed in a Panoramic Balcony Suite and would recommend this to anyone considering an Emerald Cruise on board one of their star class ships, these suites are modern, bright and well designed to make the view from the full height windows the central feature. High standards of dining and service are something that is central to a cruise experience, and this is something that is also true of a river cruise. With only 182 guests on board, you really do get personalised service. What I learnt from this trip is that a river cruise can offer something for all ages.”

Sally, Marketing Director

Explore the World’s Most Breathtaking River Cruise Destinations

The serene nature of river cruises and the intimate ships that take to waterways across the world are what attract customers to this way of travelling. A river cruise is similar to lots of city breaks rolled into one, reaching a new destination each day without the hassle of packing and unpacking in between. Enjoy staying in a cabin with similar décor to a boutique hotel where the views constantly change as the world’s waterways pass by on either side.

Every day there is a new destination for you to explore and experience, making it a truly immersive cruising holiday.

The Danube

Danube River cruises wind through ten countries in the heart of Europe, showcasing a rich tapestry of history, culture, and stunning landscapes. From the vibrant cities of Vienna, Budapest, and Bratislava to charming, lesser-known towns, you’ll experience grand architecture, medieval castles, and picturesque villages along the way.

The Douro

Douro River cruises take you through the scenic heart of Portugal’s wine country, offering a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and culinary delights.

The Douro Valley’s dramatic landscapes, combined with historic cities like Porto, visits to UNESCO World Heritage sites and family-owned wineries, make for an intimate and enriching experience.

The Rhine

As you sail along this iconic river, you’ll encounter fairytale castles perched on hilltops, charming medieval towns and vibrant cities like Cologne and Strasbourg. The Rhine’s stunning landscapes, from the lush Rhine Gorge to the vineyard-clad hillsides, provide a perfect backdrop for exploration, while its rich cultural heritage invites you to uncover centuries of history and tradition at every stop.

Dutch Waterways

Offering a serene and scenic exploration of the Netherlands’ charming landscapes, experience picturesque canals, windmills, and tulip fields abound. These cruises take you through vibrant cities like Amsterdam and Rotterdam as well as quaint villages, showcasing the country’s rich maritime history, iconic architecture and colourful gardens.

The Seine and Rhône of France

French river cruises offer an elegant way to explore the country’s diverse regions, from the vineyards of Bordeaux to charming villages and iconic cities like Paris and Lyon. As you sail through the heart of France, you’ll experience world-class wine, gourmet cuisine and rich cultural heritage.

The Po and Venetian Lagoons

This enchanting journey takes you through the picturesque landscapes of northern Italy, from the vibrant streets of Venice, with its iconic canals and St. Mark’s Basilica, to the tranquil Po Delta, a haven

for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. Whether wandering cobblestone streets or enjoying a sunset over the lagoon, this holiday is an ode to Italy’s timeless allure.

The Ganges

As you glide along the sacred waters of India’s most revered river, you’ll witness a mesmerising tapestry of life on its banks - from bustling cities like Varanasi, to tranquil rural landscapes dotted with temples and villages. Providing a front-row seat to timeless traditions and stunning sunsets, with guided excursions to iconic landmarks, it’s a perfect way to explore the spiritual and historical essence of India in comfort and style.

The Mekong

This stunning river takes you on an unforgettable journey through the heart of Southeast Asia, offering a captivating mix of natural beauty and cultural discovery. As the lifeblood of Vietnam and Cambodia, the Mekong weaves through verdant rice paddies, floating markets and bustling riverfront villages. From the intricate temples of Phnom Penh to the lush Mekong Delta with its labyrinth of waterways, each stop unveils a new layer of the region’s charm.

My favourite excursion of the holiday was the SaintÉmilion bike tour and wine-tasting, which was so much fun and so picturesque.
