Themed River Cruises

Breathe new life into your favourite subjects. Exciting destinations, expert guides and like-minded travelling companions await on our themed river cruises.  

You don't have to know your Beethoven from your Mozart before a river cruise on the Danube or your crocus from your cranesbill on the Rhône (although it does help), our holidays are designed for enthusiasts of every level. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, everyone is welcome.  

Explore your love of art, music, gardens, history, or food on a river cruise along one of Europe's beautiful waterways. You could enjoy live musical performances in the birthplace of classical music or taste wine created by the vignerons who cultivate grapes in the Douro Valley. Perhaps, you’d prefer to retrace the life of illustrious artists or watch the festive lights flicker in the Christmas markets of the Rhine. Whatever your passions are, we're sure to have the perfect getaway. 

Together, we’ll soak up the expert knowledge of our insightful speakers and local guides, and explore the fascinating destinations that bring their stories to life. So, go ahead, let your passion guide you on your next adventure.
