River Cruises
For those who like to travel in small numbers in a comfortable environment with lots to see, river cruising is the perfect choice. River cruises mean that you can sightsee all day long, both from your ship and on shore excursions. River ships may have less facilities but they can make up to three stops a day so there is plenty to keep you busy.
The friendly and professional team at Scotland's Cruise Centre are able to offer first hand experience of a river cruise holiday whether it is your first or your twenty first.
River cruising is one of the fastest-growing trends in travel, perfect for experienced or novice travellers alike. Once you’re settled aboard your River Cruises ship, you’ll glide along the world’s most legendary rivers and watch the world come to you. You’ll see exciting destinations in Europe, Russia & Ukraine, or China up close. With each trip available, you’ll enjoy a varied itinerary and unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in local cultures and traditions and you’ll experience it all without the 'work' of travel.
Unlike a coach tour where you spend more time on the road than in your destination, or an ocean cruise with endless hours at sea, with a river cruise you’ll visit a port a day on virtually every itinerary. You’ll be surrounded by ever-changing scenery right in the heart of your destination. And most ships (averaging with just 150 guests) often dock right in the town centre, allowing you to walk off your ship into the heart of your destination. On all ships a great joy is to unpack only once. You can travel through different countries, visit famous cities, explore historical sites - and yet every night find the same comfortable accommodation waiting for you with a warm welcome, a cool drink and familiar faces. Bring clothes to suit the cruise - there may be a chance to be formal but you will want to have comfortable clothes to amble round ancient towns and have plenty of luggage space to bring home souvenirs. Unpacking only once also has the joy of only having to pack once at the end of your memorable trip !
