Small Ship Cruising in Elegant Style

Choose from our exceptional array of deluxe European riverboat and barges. This convenient means of exploring the heartland of Europe has helped thousands explore Europe in this comfortable manner since this niche of the tour industry was in its infancy.

But more importantly is the value that today’s riverboats bring to you as a consumer. The vessels you’ll find here are better and more technologically advanced than ever: spacious cabins with better amenities and larger windows, beautiful public areas, excellent food and service. Without exception, the European crews aboard these ships are well-trained professionals who understand what distinguished travellers are looking for in a deluxe travel experience.

These small vessels—carrying from 20 to 160 passengers—are the best way to immerse yourself in an area’s diverse landscapes, the capital cities and small river towns, the fascinating culture and architecture that a place has to offer. Cruise slowly past vineyards creeping down to waters edge, castle ruins atop nearby hills, and into towns where towering church steeples announce medieval towns.
