River Cruising

Our river cruising content is brought to you in partnership with Riviera Travel Riviera Travel logo

River cruises combine the conveniences of ocean travel, but with a smaller crowd and a much slower pace. Offering the chance to combine numerous city breaks into one holiday, you can enjoy exploring a new destination each day after sailing through the night in serene comfort.

River cruise ships can sail further into the ports and inner-depths of the city, cutting travel time down for your itinerary and allowing you to explore freely. You’ll get more opportunities to immerse yourself in culture and atmosphere with a river cruise than you would anywhere else. Check out our tips and guides to ensure you get the best.
