the rhine And moSelleWith its fairytale castles perched high above terraced vineyards, and beautiful wine-producing towns, the Rhine is undoubtedly one of Europe's most picturesque rivers. Flowing from the Swiss Alps, it passes through the breathtaking scenery of Germany, France and Holland before reaching the North Sea.

Many cruises along this popular river begin in the Dutch capital of Amsterdam and cruise through the scenic Rhine Gorge and past the famous Lorelei Rock, before visiting the historic city of Cologne with its striking Gothic cathedral, and quaint Koblenz, where the Rhine meets the Moselle.

the beAutiful blue dAnubeThe Danube is one of Europe's most-loved rivers, flowing from Germany's picturesque Black Forest region through ten countries, including Austria, Slovakia, Hungary and Serbia, before reaching the Danube Delta and Black Sea. With breathtaking scenery, diverse cities, traditional towns and architectural masterpieces, it is easy to see why the Danube is so popular. The essence of this iconic river was beautifully captured by composer Johann Strauss II in his renowned waltz, On the Beautiful Blue Danube. On the Lower Danube, cruise through the dramatic Iron Gate which divides the Balkan and Carpathian Mountains, and continue towards the Danube Delta, an unspoiled haven popular with ornithologists, and on to the Black Sea.

viennAThe historic Austrian capital of Vienna has been shaped by famous composers including Mozart and Beethoven. The city is home to many iconic sights, from the UNESCO-listed Schönbrunn Palace to the majestic St Stephen's Cathedral and baroque Spanish Riding School for Lipizzaner horses.

budApeStThe Hungarian capital of Budapest straddles the Danube, with ancient Buda on one side, overlooked by Buda Castle, and lively Pest on the other, dominated by the impressive Hungarian Parliament.

brAtiSlAvABratislava, the diverse capital of Slovakia, has a wealth of historical and cultural attractions, from the quirky Old Town, the perfect place to start sightseeing, to the 9th-century Bratislava Castle overlooking the city.

melKThe picturesque Austrian town of Melk in the UNESCO-listed Wachau Valley is renowned for its 11th-century Benedictine Abbey which houses medieval manuscripts and ornate frescos.

dürnSteinVisit the castle where Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned on his return from the Crusades.

Although not on the banks of the Danube, the musical city of Salzburg and the Czech town of Český Krumlov are often visited on excursions. Salzburg is renowned as the birthplace of Mozart and the setting for The Sound of Music film, while the orange-roofed town of Český Krumlov in the Czech Republic is home to a magnificent 13th-century castle.

The Far East is a fascinating cruise destination, from the mighty Irrawaddy, Brahmaputra and Mekong rivers to the idyllic Indonesian archipelago and beautiful islands scattered off the coast of Thailand.

The Irrawaddy River meanders through the heart of Burma, a deeply spiritual country which was left untouched by tourists for a generation, while the mighty Brahmaputra flows through the UNESCO-listed national parks of the Assam Valley in India, and the Mekong showcases two fascinating countries - Vietnam and Cambodia.

Authentic tall ship Star Clipper is perfect for exploring the tiny paradise islands and natural beauty of Thailand and Indonesia. Impressive limestone karsts rise from the emerald-green waters of picturesque Phnang Nga Bay in Thailand and the stunning UNESCO-listed Komodo National Park in Indonesia is home to the famous Komodo Dragons.
