Hello 2026 river cruises. Hello perfect 2026 holiday. Our 2026 river cruise collection is now on sale.

As well as launching 2026 dates for all of our ever-popular river cruises, we’ve launched a selection of themed cruises. Explore (or should we say taste) your way around the Lindt Chocolate Museum, sample Riesling from wineries along the Moselle or try Budapest’s specialties in their Central Market, or indulge your horticultural passions with the natural beauty of the Rhine. ​

As always, enjoy unbeatable value on our European river cruises with luxury accommodation, full-board dining, free all-inclusive drinks, flights from your local airport at no extra cost, transfers, services of a wonderful Riviera Cruise Director and all excursions with knowledgeable local guides. ​

Thinking of going further afield? Discover our new Nile cruise that takes in the classic highlights of Egypt, or venture to Vietnam and Cambodia for a truly luxurious exploration of these culture-filled destinations.
