The Region
A river ship carries around one hundred and sixty guests into the heart of the continent: Vienna and Budapest on the Danube, the castle gorge of the Rhine, the terraced vineyards of the Douro and the run from Paris to Normandy on the Seine. You dock in the centre of town and simply step ashore. From Scenic and Emerald to AmaWaterways and Uniworld, we match the line to the river.
When to Sail
Spring on the rivers, and tulip season on the Dutch and Belgian waterways.
Long days and the vineyards in full leaf. The Douro books earliest.
Harvest on the Douro and the Rhine, then the Christmas markets light the Danube.
