Enjoy a River Cruise
We hope you have enjoyed our river cruise guides to the Danube and Rhine Rivers, the most
popular itineraries for American’s enjoying the lazy, indulgent lifestyle of modern river cruising.
Unpack once and the world comes to you!
This guide goes beyond the more common cruises to show you what has become the quickest
growing segment of the European river cruise market: cruising on the rivers of France, the
Belgium and Netherland’s Lowlands, Italy and Spain & Portugal.
French cruises sail the Seine River north from Paris to the Normandy coast, the mighty Rhône
River flowing south from Lyon through Provence to the Mediterranean Coast and the Gironde,
Dordogne and Garonne Rivers which make up the Bordeaux wine region’s Girande Estuary.
Through Belgium and the Netherlands a patchwork of canals gives the springtime river cruiser
access to wonderful towns and breathtaking views of the tulip empires that spring to life each
April.
Italy’s river cruise market in limited to the Po River which passes through northern Italy’s
heartland east to the Adriatic with most itineraries starting with a cruise out of charming
Venice. Most cruise operators have developed tour/cruise packages that integrate the lazy river
cruise with a comprehensive tour through Italy’s ancient and Renaissance wonders.
Portugal and Spain share the Douro River, running west from the Spanish highlands through
historic wine country to Porto, Portugal.
Stiff competition among the various cruise lines has led to a boom in shipbuilding with modern
ships replacing older, smaller ships and setting new standards for comfort, amenities, safety
and cuisine. The cruise lines have upped their game on entertainment and excursions and
continually add new routes, themes, guest lecturers and chefs to their packages.
River cruise vacations are wonderful options for your travel group. Group pricing and amenities
start with as few as 10 people traveling together.
Don’t delay. Call Go Bucket List Travel today at 804-557-3006 or toll-free at 855-GOBUCKET
[462-8253]. Let us find you the perfect river cruise and the best deal. You can receive up to
$250 in shipboard credit.
