If the phrase "you haven’t lived until you’ve cruised" is true, you haven’t cruised until you’ve experienced the pleasure of a river cruise on one of the worlds’ major rivers, lakes and waterways!
Unlike their big brethren, the ocean faring mega ships, river cruisers provide the best combination of an escorted motorcoach tour along with the most desired aspects of a cruise. No packing and unpacking, delightful cuisine, exciting and varying sights and excursions on a daily basis, education, adventure and entertainment all in the relaxed intimacy of a floating hotel where people get to know you and remember your name.

Because of their size, accommodating anywhere from 100 to a maximum of 260 passengers, river cruisers can sail the inner waterways of varying countries and destinations. They can dock in the center of small, quaint towns and villages sometimes difficult to reach by any other means of transportation. They allow for a far greater variety of sightseeing and exploration affording a true taste of the history, culture and the people of the countries you are visiting. In all, they provide a far richer travel experience for those seeking to satisfy their mind as well as their senses.

Our Ships and Destinations
We are proud to present one of the most comprehensive choices of river cruises and destinations you will find anywhere. From the classic European sailings on the Danube, to the rivers of Southern France, to China’s Yangtze, Russia’s Volga and new for this year, Egypt’s Nile cruises, we also offer lesser known sailing destinations such as Australia’s Murray River, Ukraine’s Dnieper, Russia’s Siberia and Romania’s Danube Delta.

Our ships are equally unique. While they vary in size, look and technical rating based on the rivers and destinations they explore, all of them have been meticulously inspected and chosen because they offer the best combination of comfort, cleanliness, cuisine and friendly on board service provided by carefully selected crews and on board staff. Some, like the brand new "Viking Europe" are deluxe 5* vessels that offer the highest level of service and luxury. Others such as the "Balkan Beauty" in Romania may lack the opulence of their western European counterparts - but they more than make up for it with their friendly hospitable crews and unusual, soft adventure itineraries that are unique and incomparable.

All Inclusive and Hassle Free
Most importantly, all of our programs regardless of destination or ship offer the same all inclusive, hassle free formula that has made our river cruises so popular. Once aboard, all your meals are included. All basic shore excursions are included. All on board lectures, education, entertainment and many special features such as classical concerts, folklore performances, caviar tasting’s - are also included in your package price. Compare our rates and inclusions to any of our competitors and you’ll understand why we offer the "best value that money can buy!".
Welcome aboard! We look forward to the pleasure of your company!
