Favorite European River Cruises

I had a customer ask me what my favorite European River cruise is.
Here are the results.
#4/ Tulip Time Cruise: These cruises are only in April and May every year when Tulips are in bloom in Holland.
From taking a canal boat ride in Amsterdam to visiting world famous Keukenhof Gardens.

#3/ Romantic Rhine: This 9 day cruise starts in Amsterdam cruising down the Rhine ending in Basel, Switzerland.

#2/ A Taste of the Danube: This 9Day cruise visits Vienna, Melk, Budapest and more. Cruise by charming small towns , visit the city of music, did I mention Bratislavia?

#1/ Capitols of Central Europe: This 10 day one is my favorite; Prague; known as the Paris of the East. Budapest, Vienna, Melk and Passau.

About River Cruises

The River Cruise Industry has grown more than 200% over the last 10 years.

Why? Once you check in on your River Cruise you unpack once staying in your luxury accommodation. (I recommend an upgrade to a cabin with a French Door balcony). Gourmet meals, sightseeing excursions and on many cruise companies even wine and beer included with dinner....all this for one price. With many major cities right on rivers, you wake up right in the city to explore its' culture and history. Here is an example of some cities right on Europe's great rivers; Amsterdam, Brugges, Paris, Melk, Vienna, Nuremberg and Basel.

This industry has had a customer satifaction rate above 95%.

The Legendary Rivers of Europe are The Rhine, Moselle, Main, Danube. Other rivers becoming more popular are the Rhone and Seine rivers in France.

River Cruises range from as short as eg. Avalon's 'A Taste of the Danube' for 4 days to as long as the 23 day 'North Sea-Black Sea Cruise' (by Avalon Waterways)
