A new approach to River Cruising

On board every Great Rail Journeys charter vessel, the level and dedication to professional service is second to none.

From your first moment on board, you'll be greeted by a designated porter who will take your luggage from reception straight to your cabin. From this point on, your every care and need will be taken care of by a team of hard-working, friendly and professional crew, all under the leadership of a designated Hotel Manager.

Each staff member speaks superb English, and is always happy to answer any questions, whether that be a query about the river or about the ship. Above, on the top deck, the Captain himself is a fountain of knowledge, as is your Cruise Director, and both are readily available to provide information about the waterways, countries and cities you pass through on your holiday.

At Great Rail Journeys, we know that the itinerary and destination make up only part of the excellent cruise experience we strive for. On a cruise, your accommodation becomes part of the holiday, and your ship should be as comfortable, as luxurious and as elegant as possible. With that in mind, our vessels are some of the finest ships cruising the rivers of Europe today, featuring some of the largest cabins in the industry.

Our fleet of chartered Amadeus ships are designed specifically to provide you with the highest level of comfort and convenience throughout the duration of your river cruise. As such, each ship has a range of excellent and well-maintained amenities and facilities at your disposal, all run by a friendly, professional and multilingual crew. Take a look at our floating hotels below, and enjoy browsing all that they offer.

At Great Rail Journeys we are committed to providing you with an unrivalled holiday experience, ensuring that every aspect of your holiday has been designed to maximise your enjoyment while representing outstanding value for money. And with over 40 year's experience organising holidays for our customers, we know that one of the aspects they appreciate most is the exclusive promise we make to each and every person who books with us, guaranteeing the best possible value whichever cruise you choose.

We are proud to assure you that booking in advance will never mean paying a higher price, and we will never sell your river cruise cheaper to someone else. Though if we do reduce the cost at any point, for any reason, we will also apply that saving to you, refunding you the difference with minimal fuss. When it comes to cost we also guarantee that once your booking has been confirmed we will not increase the price, even to account for factors beyond our control. We will never artificially infl ate the cost of a river cruise and then discount it at a later date to make you think you're getting a better deal, unlike many other cruise companies.

And with so much included in our prices - air or rail travel, transfers, the services of a Cruise Director and Tour Manager, a full itinerary of shore excursions as well as all meals during your cruise, you can be sure you're getting the most from your money.
