River cruises offer travelers a unique way to explore many of Europe's most popular countries to visit. Who needs a rental car when you've got a cruise ship! Many European river cruises dock right in the center of town so travelers can hop off the ship and have access to a number of shops, restaurants and other attractions. Travelers will also have access to rail stations in popular cities that provide access to cities all across Europe. Most cruise itineraries give travelers plenty of time to explore while they are docked.
Many of our cruise partners offer additional activities for travelers both on and off the cruise ship. Dining options and meals offered on cruise ships are often inspired by the local cuisine.
