Snaking its way through six countries – Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, France and the Netherlands – the Rhine is among Europe’s major rivers. From the days of the Roman Empire, these flowing waters have played an essential role in trade and life, which is why you’ll find many castles and fortifications along the banks of the Rhine. 

Another prominent river of the Roman Empire, the Danube is one of Europe’s longest rivers. Flowing through 10 countries – the Danube spans across both western and eastern parts of Europe. As well as history and culture, you’ll find panoramic views, UNESCO World Heritage, and charming cities, towns and neighbourhoods along the banks of its flowing waters. 

This famous river flows through China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, and is the world’s 12th longest river. Life along the waters and banks of the Mekong is fascinating. From iconic boathouses and markets to rice paddies, ancient temples and local culture – you’ll be swept away by everything you see and do on a river cruise of the Mekong.
