Dear river cruiser,

I like to think of river cruising as a series of city breaks, where you never have to change hotels, even though you’ll wake up in a new destination each day. There are new sights, sounds and tastes to discover in each country and city that you visit, whether you’re exploring ashore or enjoying fine cuisine aboard your ship, freshly made with local ingredients.

Though I enjoy river cruising, I also value the opinion of others when it comes to finding the right holiday and with that in mind, I’m lucky to have such an experienced team here at RiverVoyages.com. They’re river cruising experts and in the pages of this brochure, they’ll share with you what they like most about some of the world’s most popular cruise lines, as well as some of their favourite itineraries.

Let your imagination run away with you as my team transport you to the beautiful vine-clad valleys of the Rhine and the Douro, the historic cities along the Danube, the ancient waterways of China and many more enchanting destinations besides.

When you feel like you’re ready to turn your holiday dreams into reality, just give my Cruise Concierge team a callon 0800 107 1280.

All the best,

James Cole Managing Director RiverVoyages.com

Concierge recommendation

“The thing I love most about Avalon is the fact that I know I’m going to be cruising in total luxury, every time I set sail. Whether I’m exploring the Dutch Waterways, the rivers of France, the Danube or the Rhine, my ship is like a luxurious floating hotel and when I retire to my suite at the end of the day, I know I’ll be reclining in one of the largest river cruise accommodations afloat. With Avalon, you don’t have to worry about gratuities and when it comes to exploring, you’re free to do what you want, as all your shore excursions are included too.”

It’s all about the complete package with Riviera Travel, which means that my transfers are always included and my Tour Manager takes care of everything and ensures that I enjoy an unforgettable cruise every time. On-board, there’s always something to keep me entertained (and pampered) between ports too, with a splash pool, spa, sauna and even a giant chess set on deck or putting green! Come the evening meal time, I know I’m going to enjoy a four-course meal and that’s not just during the Captain’s Gala.”

“Wherever it is in Europe that I’m exploring, I know that I’ll be doing it on-board one of the most innovative and stylish cruise ships there is when I cruise with Emerald. My favourite thing has to be having an on-board pool which becomes a cinema by night and the fact that free Wi-Fi is always available is great too. Sometimes it’s the simpler pleasures which matter though, and I always look forward to a coffee on the stylish terrace and a great choice at the buffet breakfast. Did I mention the Massage Therapy Room? It’s the perfect way to unwind after a day ashore!”
