Dear Traveler,
July 10, 2026
Like so many travelers, I am very fond of our River Cruises. There is something about gliding down a tranquil waterway that melts your stress away... how every bend in the river reveals an unexpected delight. I recently joined travelers aboard one of our river ships in Budapest. My pulse quickened in anticipation of stepping ashore in both the grand Hungarian capital and tiny medieval villages alike— and leaving my suitcase behind.
See what makes this type of travel so special with our complete collection of 2027 European River Cruises. You will be transported along storied rivers like the Seine, Danube, Rhine, and Mosel aboard our fleet of award-winning river ships. While other cruise companies have one cruise director overseeing the entire ship, ours have up to 4 Program Directors onboard— one for each group of up to 38 travelers. So, you will receive much more attentive care and a deeper feeling of camaraderie among your group.
Along with the intimate ambience, personal service, and regionalinspired dining while onboard, our shore excursions bring you up close to European life and culture during Exclusive Discovery Series events like Home-Hosted Visits, cooking classes, farm visits, and more. And inclusive features like complimentary onboard wine, beer, and spirits are just part of the value and amenities that have made us the leader in river cruising.
Unpack just once, relax, and enjoy a front-row seat to Europe’ s most captivating landscapes and storybook villages on one of our 2027 River Cruises.
Warm regards,
Harriet Lewis Chair Grand Circle Cruise Line
