Waterways World River Cruising

Are you looking for a cruise on a “hotel ship” sailing on the inland waterways of Europe?

Since 1984,we have been arranging river and canal cruises on behalf of Waterways World, the number one inland waterway magazine. These cruises are open to anyone with a love of rivers and canals and you will be travelling with like-minded enthusiasts who enjoy navigating the rivers of Europe and occasionally those of other continents. Sometimes 'technical visits' are arranged and destinations often include places to which other cruises do not go.

For details of upcoming cruises, see the summaries below or download the current brochure using the link on the left. If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

For details of future cruises, you can subscribe to Waterways World or ask to be placed on their (free) cruise mailing list.
