You will adore the away-from-it-all experience and visit some of Iberia’s most beautiful medieval towns, monasteries and vineyards, and feel you have been away for months!

Hidden among some of Europe's loveliest landscapes is a world of art, music and architecture that's just waiting to be uncovered on our spellbinding cruise along the Rhine river. We'll start with a journey into the verdant and wild countryside of Switzerland that inspired some of Mendelson's finest compositions and wander through the Black Forest - a dark pine forest steeped in fairytales - where we'll explore a world of traditional handicrafts.

And that's just the onshore adventures - Portugal’s once-wild river Douro may have been tamed by locks but there's still an untouched wildness to the valley’s breathtaking rolling hills.
