How can one convey the inimitable experience of river cruising with Swan’s? Certainly one of the best aspects about this mode of exploration is the way it combines the pleasures of discovering many places during one holiday, without any cumbersome travel changes or the hassle and inconvenience of a tour.

You can literally journey from place to place, taking in the sights and sounds from the tranquil settings of the river, capturing the splendour of cities such as Vienna, Budapest and Lyon, and the serene beauty of cities like Avignon, Arles and Esztergom. Soak up the scenery and absorb the atmosphere, all from the intimacy of our modern yet elegant cruise boats, which feature all outside cabins - many with balconies. Along the way, our guest speakers will use their expert understanding and knowledge of each destination to bring it to life, talking about local traditions, history, art, music, cuisine and wines.

Local artists and classical music will also play a part of our entertainment programme with concerts on board and/or ashore. Travelling in comfort and style, absorb the ever changing vista from the comfort of your intimate sized cruise boat. Travel from country to country, discovering hidden gems and historic cities en route. A relaxed atmosphere on board, with no fixed seating plans in the dining rooms, makes it easy to meet and dine with new friends whenever you wish.

Swan’s range of river cruises offers exceptional value and enables you to create the perfect, tailor-made trip that includes everything you need to make your experience unforgettable. All meals, entertainment and gratuities are included, as well as a full programme of excursions led by local guides who’ll help you discover places you might not otherwise find.
