Berlitz River Cruising in Europe

by Douglas Ward

A river cruise is undoubtedly the most civilized way to see the best of Europe; you can relax in the comfort of a small vessel as you glide through beautiful towns and spec tacular scenery. But how do you choose which cruise company, which kind of rivership, and where to go? The Berlitz guide to River Cruising in Europe will tell you everything you need to know about taking a cruise along Europe’s beautiful rivers and waterways. The book cuts through the brochures’ hype – almost every river cruise company promises you luxury. But what does ‘luxury’ really mean? The guide gives you unbiased advice on the different kinds of river vessels and the facilities they offer, helping you to make an informed choice. We take you on a journey along Europe’s rivers and waterways, describing the highlights along the way – the historic cities and majestic scenery of the Danube, the castles and vineyards of the romantic Rhine, and much.  Also included are listings for over 200 river vessels, which are described in detail and impartially rated, so that you can easily compare ships and their facilities.

Great preparation for a river cruise. We're heading to Europe in the spring and had no idea how this type of cruise compared to the big megaship cruise lines we're familiar with. The book gave us great information on what to expect, and more importantly what NOT to expect. We'll be carrying it along as we go.

A great, honest guide. Pair this with your internet research and you'll be the most prepared River cruiser ever.
