The allure of shoulder season cruising has taken Australians by storm, with river cruise lines rewarding demand with more departures than ever before almost year round.
Have you even wondered what itโs like to work for King Charles? Or wanted to see the war rooms in London where the D-Day landings of June 1944 were planned? You can on a river cruise.
Whatโs not to like? French champagne, Dior high fashion, a private screening of the movie Mrs Harris Goes to Paris and Uniworldโs luxurious river sailing on the Seine in France.
This spring season, major cruise lines are highlighting an array of river cruises to explore and discover the awe-inspiring wonders of the storied and magnificent rivers of Europe.
