European river cruise operator CroisiEurope has opened bookings for its 2026 river cruise season, offering more than 170 itineraries on 55 ships across 39 waterways in 37 countries.

The 2026 programme includes traditional routes on renowned rivers like the Rhine, Seine, Danube, and Douro. Groups seeking less-travelled waterways can also explore rivers such as the Guadalquivir, Vltava, Po, Garonne, as well as Lake Kariba in Southern Africa.

The cruise line’s fleet also features boutique hotel barges on France’s charming canals, ideal for private hires. Every spring, CroisiEurope celebrates the season’s bloom with a popular river tour to Keukenhof Gardens near Amsterdam.

For wine aficionados, CroisiEurope offers exclusive tours from Bordeaux, allowing guests to delve into the region’s rich wine culture. Onboard, guests can relax in light, spacious cabins with en-suite facilities, while enjoying time in panoramic lounges and bars that provide scenic views. Each cruise maintains a leisurely pace, allowing travellers to absorb the landscape.

CroisiEurope prides itself on attentive, multilingual staff, ensuring that passengers feel at ease in the heart of European culture. Dining is a central experience, with cuisine prepared by French chefs who craft three- and four-course meals inspired by French and regional flavours.

With peak dates in high demand, operators are encouraged to book soon. Limited availability also remains for last-minute 2025 bookings.
