River & Expedition Cruises
The world’s great rivers evoke a sense of romance and timelessness, linking grand cities, forgotten villages, and endless countryside. Luxury river cruising has become very popular and allows you to explore smaller cities along rivers such as the Nile, Danube and Rhine. The river barges are far smaller than ships meaning that there are less people onboard and more intimate experiences to be had. There are many options for luxury river cruising and canal barge cruising with top notch service and amenities including spacious staterooms, indulgent treatments at the onboard spas, world-class wine and champagne and Michelin-inspired cuisine, and guided personalised shore excursions with cultural immersion in smaller medieval villages and quaint towns along the way. Embark on a memorable barge cruise thru the canals of Burgundy or Champagne, get up close and personal with the quaint villages in Germany, Belgium, Hungary, Austria and the Netherlands, explore local tribal life along backwater lagoons of the Peruvian Amazon or the Mekong River in Cambodia. Our expert travel designers will help you sort through the many destinations and luxury river cruise choices based on your interests and assist with planning and executing all aspects of an amazing luxury river or canal cruise experience.
