From Portugal’s vineyard-lined Douro Valley to the imperial cities of the Danube and the storybook scenery of the Rhine, now is the time to reserve your preferred dates, itinerary, and cabin for 2027.

Portugal by River

The Douro: The Soul of Portugal

Sailing the Douro means experiencing a landscape shaped by both nature and tradition over centuries. In 2027, discover the heart of Portugal from the river.

Drift past terraced vineyards in the UNESCO-listed Douro Valley, enjoy a port wine tasting at a local quinta, and take in the charm of Porto all the way to the Spanish border. This itinerary celebrates slow travel, authentic cuisine, and the warmth of Portuguese culture.

Imperial Europe

The Danube: Europe’s Imperial Heart

The Danube is more than a river — it’s the thread that weaves through Europe’s history.

Our 2027 collection invites you to explore cities that inspired kings and composers. Wake up to the illuminated Parliament in Budapest, stroll through Vienna’s elegant gardens, and visit the Benedictine abbeys of the Wachau Valley.

Castles, Legends & Storybook Scenery

The Rhine: Europe at Its Most Picturesque

Few routes are as picturesque as the Rhine, winding through Germany’s valleys and the canals of the Netherlands.

This journey is filled with cliffside castles, medieval towns, and timeless legends. Visit Cologne’s iconic cathedral, explore half-timbered villages, and cruise past vineyard-covered hillsides.
