Learn more about how you can travel on your terms.
Travel Styles
Relax as you experience iconic sights on a convenient river cruise or head off the beaten path on a small ship cruise. Join a rail journey through spellbinding mountain scenery or pay homage to Europe’s old grace on an extended city stay. We have a range of travel styles to choose from, so you can explore Europe in a way that is just right for you.
River Cruising
One of the more relaxing ways to explore Europe, river cruising allows you to see more at a comfortable pace. Unpack once and wake to an exciting new destination each day. Dock right in the heart of town, closer to the sights you’ve come to see, and step ashore ready to explore.
Land Journeys
From the architectural treasures of Italy to the wonders of Eastern Europe, an immersive land journey is the perfect complement to any river cruise. Visit Europe’s famous landmarks and lesser-known gems. Delve into fascinating cultures and explore striking landscapes, all in total comfort, and while staying in centrally located hotels.
Rail Journeys
A contrast to the fast pace of everyday life, exploring Europe by rail is relaxing, comfortable and convenient. From heritage railways to high-speed trains that zip from city to city, be left in awe by the ever-changing scenery before disembarking in the centre of your destination. Our wide range of rail journeys criss-cross the continent, from the steamy souks of Morocco to the Arctic Circle on the hunt for the elusive northern lights.
Coastal Cruising
A small ship coastal cruise through the Adriatic Sea offers an exciting holiday experience without the crowds that come with cruising on a large ocean liner. With few passengers, cruising aboard the MV Lady Eleganza will reward you with greater access to Croatia’s smaller ports.
Combine Your Travel Style
For an in-depth discovery of Europe, why not combine your next cruise with a land or rail journey? Stay a little longer and uncover some of Europe’s most enchanting destinations or extend your river cruise and journey right to the heart of countries such as Italy, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Norway, Sweden and Scotland.

The Douro's Sweet Spot
For more than 2,000 years, grapes have been harvested and wine has been produced in Portugal's Douro Valley. Vineyard boundaries were laid here in 1756, making this the oldest demarcated wine region in the world. Joe Boulous highlights why the Douro Valley remains the heart of Portugal’s wine country.
The Gems of Germany
Visit the charming, historic towns along the Danube River in Germany. Whether they’re “bergs” or “burgs”, these German towns remain uniquely inviting, as Ute Junker discovers.
Wines of the Danube Table
Joseph Boulous takes to the magnificent Danube River to visit some of Europe’s most important wine regions. Whenever the phrase “fine European wine” is cited, familiar scenes of France’s Champagne region or Italy’s Chianti Road often spring to mind. However, Europe’s waterways have also played a significant role in shaping the landscape of centuries-old viticulture methods. At its heart lies the mighty Danube.
