River cruise and stay holidays
Enjoy the best of both worlds
Join one of our river cruise and stay holidays and you can combine a relaxing river cruise on the Danube, Douro, Rhine or Elbe with a break in some of Europe's most fascinating cities.
These holidays have been carefully designed so you can spend longer in some of Europe’s most celebrated cities, and we have hand-chosen hotels in Vienna, Prague, Bern, Davos, Berlin, Budapest, Lisbon and Copenhagen, as well as in the Romanian region of Transylvania.
Alternatively, if you want something a little different, we offer French barge cruises – stay in one hotel and explore the French countryside by intimate canal barge during a series of day cruises.
