River cruises by Great Rail Journeys

Combining scenic rail journeys with Great Rail Journeys river cruises brings together two of the most pleasurable modes of travel. Whether it is a connecting journey from St Pancras International to our ship's harbour or a scenic shore excursion, travelling by rail is a lovely and seamless complement to river cruises. Enjoy interesting and cultural places, fabulous hotels and friendly Tour Managers, all combined with some of the most spectacular scenery the mighty rivers of Europe have to offer.

We are the rail cruise experts. All of our great rail cruises allow you to travel on the most famous modern and historic railways, wake up relaxed and refreshed in specially-selected hotels and ships, and enjoy excursions that go beyond the normal tourist traps. View quaint villages along the ever-changing landscape of a riverbank as we lazily cruise toward our next port of call. Whilst your Tour Manager takes care of the smooth running of each of our great rail cruises, we are met in our destinations by local guides who bring the excursion programmes of our great rail cruises to life, sharing their intimate knowledge of the local language, history and culture.
