THE ULTIMATE EUROPEAN JOURNEYS
For those who want to experience Europe in its most complete form, our Ultimate European Journeys blend the romance of river cruising with immersive land stays in extraordinary destinations. These itineraries go beyond the riverbanks — pairing sailings with curated time in iconic cities and scenic regions. Whether it’s extending your journey with a stay in Ljubljana and Lake Bled before boarding S.S. La Venezia to sail through Venice and its magical islands, or exploring the cultural gems of Prague, Amsterdam or Budapest alongside a Rhine or Danube sailing, these combinations offer a seamless way to see and savour even more.
LONGER LUXURY RIVER CRUISE ITINERARIES
Spanning up to 25 days, our extended river cruises invite you to explore more, linger longer and truly connect with the heart of each destination.
