EUROPEAN SAILINGS
Several cruise lines, including Viking River Cruises, Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection and AmaWaterways offer unique European itineraries with superb five-star amenities aboard intimate, luxurious riverboats. These itineraries simplify travel through Europe, yet guests sail through the middle of the most exciting cities, connecting with these destinations on a personal journey of discovery through Europe.
In France, cruise the Seine from Paris through the heart of Normandy, the Marne from Paris to Épernay, or the Garonne from Bordeaux to the country’s rich wine regions. Through Spain, the Garonne flows into Bordeaux’s Gironde estuary.
Winding through quaint French towns, including Pauillac, the river makes its way into Bordeaux’s wine region, along the Médoc wine route, passing beautiful wineries and vineyards. Rhone cruises take visitors through the heart of Provence and Burgundy and into the splendor of southern France.
Enjoy a leisurely sailing through the Schelde and Lys rivers, as well as the canals of Holland and Belgium. Travel from Amsterdam to Antwerp, admiring the unique beauty of remote country regions with windmills, tulip fields in full bloom and magnificent medieval cities.
One of Amsterdam’s most extraordinary features is the
city’s intricate canal system. Sailing through the canals is a favorite activity for visitors to the town, as it affords a unique perspective.
In Central and Eastern Europe, make the journey along the Elbe from Hamburg to Prague, through Eastern Germany and the Czech Republic, which boasts well-preserved castles and palaces. During a sailing along the Danube from Passau, which borders Austria and the Czech Republic, experience a city that dates back more than 2,500 years.
Guests sail through the middle of the
most exciting cities, connecting with these destinations on a personal journey of discovery through Europe.
