European Cities & Scenic Rivers

This European cruise blends leisurely river cruising with effortless city exploration. Navigating the Seine during daytime is an undoubted highlight, with Balmoral gliding past charming villages and rolling French countryside – a route only possible on smaller ships. There’s also daytime cruising along the bustling Scheldt, offering a contrasting glimpse of river city life. Exploring ashore is made even easier, with Balmoral docking close to the highlights in most of your ports of call. There are also longer stays in Antwerp, famed for Belgian beer and chocolates; Rouen, gateway to Paris with its iconic landmarks and café culture; and Pauillac, where you can join a tour to Bordeaux and sample world-class wines during grape harvest season.
