Luxury River Cruising

Let Europe’s finest come to you on one of our impressive multi-country itineraries by cruising the waterways.

From the moment you depart to the moment you return, everything you need is included in the trip price you pay.

Carefully designed to help you experience Europe in far greater depth, they offer more insight into Europe’s cultural fabric than regular sightseeing, and are not normally available to independent travellers. More than just places to sleep, our hotels are experiences in their own right. Rural estates within historic vineyards. Châteaux that have withstood the test of time. Onboard suites with every mod-con. We have it all on offer. By land, river or sea, the dining experiences on offer will not disappoint. Michelin-starred restaurants. Family-owned estates. Cooking classes. Meals in private homes. Plus on our river and ocean ships, a fine selection of beverages are included. An APT cruise or tour director is always present, while local experts join you along the way. We’ll make your bed, pour the drinks and cook up a feast. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Sit back and relax while we take care of all the details. We understand that different travellers like different things. That’s why we work with you to personalise your journey to suit your interests. Mix and match a wide selection of cultural, culinary, historical and active experiences.
