For centuries, waterways have connected cultures across Europe. Today, you can drift through remarkable landscapes and connect with the places that line their banks in an entirely new way. Because the best journeys aren’t only about where they take you. They’re about the stories you discover along the way.




Some moments happen on the water. Others happen ashore. Together, they create an experience filled with meaningful connections, unforgettable discoveries and stories worth bringing home.


From inviting lounges and sun decks to thoughtful touches throughout, our ships are designed to help you relax into life on the river. Enjoy onboard entertainment, local experiences and insights from the Captain and crew, all supported by a dedicated Experience Director and one of the best guest-to-staff ratios in river cruising.

No, flights to and from your start and end destination are not included in the river cruise prices shown. However, you can add flights to your booking during the booking process (subject to availability). Call Us to discuss flight options and receive a quote.
Prepare for a variety of weather conditions depending on your travel season and the regions through which you will be cruising. Layering is always your best approach, allowing you to comfortably adjust to changing temperatures throughout the day, including those onboard and ashore.
Pack a lightweight waterproof jacket (preferably hooded) or a heavier-weight windbreaker for cooler temperatures.
Comfortable, sporty, smart-casual daywear is suitable both onboard and onshore. For warmer temperatures, lightweight, breathable fabrics that can be layered work well. For early spring and late fall departures, heavier cotton or wool tops, long-sleeved shirts and pants are perfectly appropriate.
You will participate in a significant amount of walking over uneven terrain during your time ashore. For your comfort and safety, we recommend comfortable walking shoes with good ankle support. Sturdy sandals are another good option.
For evenings, resort-style attire is perfectly suitable; however, we do ask that shorts not be worn to dinner.
During your trip, you will be supplied with Vox Tour Guide Systems, which will let you hear your Local Specialist during selected experiences. We supply a one Vox in-ear earphone, but we recommend you bring a personal set of earphones with an Auxiliary Audio Cable. This will ensure you have the sound quality which suits your preferences.
Due to limited storage space onboard ships and motorcoaches, guests are asked to bring one (1) suitcase and one (1) carry-on bag per person, excluding purses. Additional fees may be assessed onsite for excess baggage. Note that your suitcase will be stored under your bed onboard the ship, so we suggest your main hold luggage/case does not exceed 76cm x 45cm x 25cm (30” x 18” x 10”). In some destinations there are health and safety restrictions around how much weight Crew Members and Drivers are able to lift, therefore a maximum of 23kg (50lbs) weight restriction is strictly enforced. Airline restrictions with hold or hand luggage: Airline baggage regulations vary by carrier and are subject to change. Each guest is responsible for confirming baggage weight, size, carry-on allowances and any applicable fees directly with their airline prior to travel. Be sure to check regulations for both international and domestic flight segments, as allowances may differ. Guests are responsible for their baggage and personal belongings at all times. Trafalgar is not responsible for loss, theft or damage. A Travel Protection Plan covering lost, stolen or damaged baggage is strongly recommended.
Porterage is included for your luggage upon arrival at the ship for your main hold luggage/ bag (one item per person).
