River cruising is the biggest trend in travel today and Europe’s rivers invite the wonders of what is nestled on her banks. Each of the three cruising rivers, the Rhine, Danube and the Seine are filled with characteristics uniquely attributed to their countries and people.

The Rhine River is culturally and historically one of the great rivers of the continent and among the most important arteries of industrial transport in the world. It flows from two small headways in the Alps of east-central Switzerland north and west to the North Sea, into which it drains through the Netherlands.

The Danube River the second longest in Europe after the Volga. It rises in the Black Forest mountains of western Germany and flows for some 1,770 miles to its mouth on the Black Sea. Along its course it passes through 10 countries: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, and Ukraine.

The Seine River rises 18 miles northwest of Dijon and flows in a northwesterly direction through Paris before emptying into the English Channel at Le Havre. It is one of Europe’s great historic rivers, and its drainage network carries most of the French inland waterway traffic.

River boat tours Europe include castles restored and fragments of battles launched over centuries. Mozart and waltzes were born here, cottages and villages are welcoming, as are the Abbey’s that sprinkle the cliffs along the river. Why just travel, when you can travel back in time? Christmastime on river boat tours Europe is especially a grand time for a river cruise.
