River cruising<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not all cruise ships are made equal \u2013 some are built specifically for the river cruise experience. Most popular in Europe, these smaller ships allow for an up-close and personal look at the surrounding landscapes, as you wind your way down iconic waterways such as the Rhone, Danube or Rhine rivers. The rolling hills, medieval villages and vibrant vineyards make for picture-perfect moments with every kilometre you sail. Most itineraries include a stop every day, allowing you to cover more of your chosen country (or countries), with offshore excursions often included in your package. For an opulent French countryside escape from Avignon to Lyon, there\u2019s no beating Riverside Luxury Cruises \u2013 the exclusive seven-day voyage<\/a> uncovers the beauty of southern France in the best way possible, with an all-inclusive drinks package and a 24-hour butler service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
