European River Cruises Routes

Ardeche Gorges

Experience breath-taking gorges, flower-strewn lowlands, vineyard-covered hillsides and fascinating riverside towns and cities from the comfort of your river cruise vessel.

Cruise along the spectacular Rhine, following its languid path from Switzerland, through France and Germany into Holland. Upon its banks sit vibrant, history-rich cities, countless wine-towns and villages, as well as ripening vineyards, crumbling castles and the astounding, UNESCO-listed Rhine Gorge.

Sip a glass of port on the banks of the River Douro. Gaze at Alpine valleys, medieval towns, verdant vineyards and fairy-tale castles along the pretty, meandering Moselle, or discover cosmopolitan Mannheim on the River Neckar, and the great city of Frankfurt on the River Main.

Admire the grandeur of modern French engineering as you pass under the Seine-spanning Pont de Normandie, then sail upriver to historic Joan of Arc city Rouen. Take in the glorious Dutch countryside, and explore the canals and cobblestones of Amsterdam, historic Rotterdam, and picturesque towns and villages on a Dutch river cruise.

Whichever European river cruise you choose, when you cruise with Newmarket Holidays you'll experience fascinating itineraries and excursions, and the leisurely atmosphere and pace of life on board an A-ROSA river cruise vessel.
