If you have already tried European river travel, you will surely know that it is a very pleasant and lush way to travel and explore the continent. And if you have not yet been on such a trip, read on to discover the benefits!
European river travel may strike you as an outlandish proposition, but it is actually one of the best ways to see parts of the continent in style, blending in both major signs and less travelled waters - both figuratively and literally speaking.
Virtually all of the major rivers in Europe have luxury travel trip packages available on them. These magnificent boats cruise the powerful rivers through the indescribable landscape that is steeped in history. Each day you can visit another settlement, city, village or point of interest - all without travel in rough surroundings and the packing and unpacking required by other means of European travel.
Many of the cruise trips have themed options available depending on the time of year. Art and music, antique furniture, golfing and nature/hiking cruises are available. Wine tasting cruises can take you to some of the best vineyards and wineries in Europe's wine countries.
See the colors of autumn or watch as spring arrives. Most times, the shore excursions and city visits provided by the river cruise lines are included in your ticket price. Now that's value added!
Most European river travel boats will have a sundeck, so if the weather is warm you will be able to enjoy the passing sights from the deck, enjoying a commanding view of the surroundings.
If the weather turns cold, the boat will be fully heated and you will still be able to enjoy the view through floor to ceiling bay windows, so you won't miss anything even if you have to spend part of the day inside your European river travel vessel.
Most cruises will have catering included. The kind of cooking that you will be served during European river travel will usually be of the local sort, and will be prepared by experienced onboard cooks that will delight you.
Besides the marine personnel and the cooks, there will be other staff waiting on your needs on a boat thought out for luxury European river travel. Whether barmen to mix your cocktails at the bar or room ladies to keep the cabins tidy, you will be well pampered.
There are a great number of locales for European river travel, but in all cases the comfort of an upper end cruise will delight you. You may even find it hard not to come back for another European cruise the next year!
