European River Cruises from Canada

A European river cruise is the most relaxed way to see the continent — a small, elegant ship that ties up right in the heart of each town, so you step off into castles on the Rhine, palaces in Vienna, port lodges on the Douro or the streets of Paris, then sail on to the next while you sleep. Unpack once, and let the near all-inclusive fare take care of the rest. Fond Travels, an IATA-accredited Calgary travel agency, compares the river lines and books your cruise, flights from Canada and hotels in one call, all in Canadian Dollars.

Call our cruise specialists at +1 (587) 287 1191 and we’ll build your river cruise around your dates — the Rhine, the Danube, the Douro or a festive Christmas Market sailing, 8 AM–9 PM, 7 days.

Where European river cruises take you

• The Rhine — Amsterdam to Basel past castles, vineyards and storybook towns.
• The Danube — Budapest, Vienna, the Wachau Valley and beyond.
• The Douro — Porto and Portugal’s terraced wine valley.
• The Seine — Paris and the villages and history of Normandy.
• Christmas Markets — festive December sailings on the Rhine and Danube.

Ways to river cruise

• Classic Rhine or Danube — the most popular first river cruise.
• Wine & scenery — the Douro or the Rhône for vineyards and food.
• City-focused — the Seine from Paris.
• Christmas Markets — a festive winter sailing with a city stay.
