A very popular cruise with Grand UK for many years this special 6 day Spring Break offers a relaxing journey from the Dutch capital of Amsterdam, into the scenic Rhine Valley area and to the historic city of Cologne, with its magnificent cathedral. As an added bonus there is an included sightseeing excursion deep into the Rhine Gorge too!

Springtime in Holland introduces the advent of the Bulbfields season with its colourful blanket of colours and sweet smells sweeping across the open countryside. Our special Dutch river cruise combines visits to the world-famous Keukenhof Gardens - the most spectacular array of gardens and floral displays - with cosmopolitan Amsterdam and lots more besides.

This is a unique river cruise itinerary, from Linz, on the River Danube in Austria, to Cologne, on the River Rhine in Germany. A highlight is navigating the Main Danube Canal, to over 1,300 feet above sea level. The total cruising distance is 634 miles in 10 days - this is the same distance as from Brighton, on our South Coast, to Inverness, in the Scottish Highlands!

The opening of the Main-Danube Canal in 1992 made possible the dream of sailing across the heart of Europe from the North Sea to the Black Sea. This special cruise will take you from Germany to Austria, by the Rivers Rhine and Main, the new canal and the River Danube. With 10 nights on board, there is a lot of cruising, many locks to negotiate, much to experience, and dozens of interesting and picturesque places to see, but the overall pace is as leisurely and relaxing as possible.

Our new Danube cruise by air includes the three historic capital cities of Vienna (Austria), Budapest (Hungary) and Bratislava (Slovakia), with plenty of time for sightseeing, plus leisurely cruising on some of the most scenic sections of the river. Joining by air, with easy embarkation on board the popular Esmeralda at Linz, will add to your enjoyment.

This cruise takes you to the most scenic section of the River Rhine, and also includes the beautiful scenery of the Moselle Valley, with the added bonus that all your excursions from the ship are included. If you are new to river cruising, this is an ideal cruise to take, and represents great value for money!
