Choose your getaway driver ...for the festive season
Great escapes with top-notch service and plenty of cheer!
It’s time to make your move
Planning your trip
With so much on offer, you might need some inspiration! We’ve hand-picked a selection of favourite destinations and provided an overview of the very best highlights...
River Danube Highlights
Undeniably beautiful, the Danube is one of the world’s most romantic waterways, celebrated in music, literature and the visual arts. Flowing through the centre of glorious Vienna, the historical core of Bratislava and the heart of Belgrade, the Danube is the division of beautiful Budapest. Along its banks, fascinating towns and cities seamlessly blend the best of old and new.
Holidays recommended just for you
River Main Highlights
The River Main meanders gently through the heartlands of Germany. It is navigable by way of 34 locks and dams that replace 19th century chain-shipping where the towing power of men and horses was needed to travel upstream. The landscape, as the Main winds through Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Hesse, is one of beautiful dense forests, valleys with rolling vineyards, ancient hilltop castles and quaint rustic villages with traditional half-timbered houses. In its path, the dynamic city of Frankfurt with its futuristic skyline contrasts with the medieval architecture of historic Bamberg. A cruise on the beautiful River Main promises the quintessential German experience.
River Moselle Highlights
Rolling hills crowned with the remains of feudal castles testify to the Moselle’s importance in the Middle Ages. In the heart of the most picturesque stretch of the valley lies Trier, a city with Roman influences. Where the serene Moselle twists and turns towards Koblenz and its confluence with the Rhine, the spectacularly vertiginous, lush, terraced vineyards produce some of the world’s greatest wines.
Holidays recommended just for you
River Rhine Highlights
Flanked by forested peaks and studded with rocky islands decorated with whitewashed chapels, the mesmerising Rhine Gorge is postcard perfect. In Cologne, the soaring twin spires of the city’s UNESCO-listed cathedral dominate the skyline – a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and a true icon of the Rhine. Further south, Bonn offers charm in abundance and, as the river winds into historic Koblenz, the scenery reaches a dramatic crescendo. Plus – no Rhine cruise would be complete without a stop in Rüdesheim am Rhein, famed for its cheerful taverns and atmospheric alleys!
Holidays recommended just for you
River Rhône Highlights
Flowing from the Swiss Alps to the Mediterranean Sea, the Rhône cuts through some of France’s most striking scenery. Along its banks, you’ll find the medieval walls of Avignon, the Roman heritage of Arles, and countless Rhône towns steeped in Provençal charm. The river winds through dramatic gorges, rolling vineyards and lavender fields, offering ever-changing views of natural beauty and cultural richness at every bend. It’s a route where history and landscape go hand in hand.
Holidays recommended just for you
Dutch Waterways Highlights
The Dutch Waterways offer a patchwork of charming towns, contemporary cities and peaceful landscapes. In vibrant Rotterdam, modern architecture lines the banks, while historic Nijmegen lays claim to being the oldest city in the Netherlands. Further north, sleepy harbours and windmill-dotted horizons reflect the region’s timeless character. Cruising past Amsterdam reveals rows of traditional canal houses and spire-topped churches, all hinting at the city’s rich heritage. It truly is unmissable!
