European River Cruises

Experience breathtaking landscapes, charming riverside towns, and the highlights of each region's major cities from the comfort of your river cruise vessel.

Cruise along the spectacular Rhine, taking in the treasures of the four nations it cuts through – Switzerland, Germany, France and the Netherlands. As you sail, take in the historic cities, wine-making towns and enchanting rural villages that line its banks, as well as the UNESCO-listed Rhine Gorge.

In Portugal, no region highlights the country's wine-making heritage quite like the Douro Valley and sipping a glass of port on the banks of its namesake river is the ideal way to spend an afternoon. Further west, the mighty Guadalquivir, which traces its path through Andalucía, combines exploration of colourful regional centres and a wide array of hidden gems. 

Admire the grandeur of modern French engineering as you pass under the Seine-spanning Pont de Normandie, then sail upriver to ancient Rouen. Take in the glorious Dutch countryside, and explore the canals and cobblestones of Amsterdam, historic Rotterdam, and picturesque towns and villages on a Dutch river cruise.

No route boasts more wish-list sights than the elegant Danube, and as you meander along its winding passages, you'll have the opportunity to experience four majestic European capitals - Vienna, Bratislava, Belgrade and cosmopolitan Budapest.

Whichever European waterway you choose, when you sail with Newmarket Holidays and our trusted partners, CroisiEurope and A-ROSA River Cruises, you'll enjoy carefully curated itineraries, all-inclusive comfort and a host of truly memorable moments on the water.
