Welcome to Guardian
Travel. Here, you will find one of
the largest collection of discount European
river cruise vacations offered to you by
Brendan Vacations,
Globus Journeys,
Viking River Cruises, and
Trafalgar Tours.
 There
is no better way to discover the splendor of
Europe than on a European river cruise. Europe's
grand waterways take you to the heart of many of
Europe's magnificent cities, and to
vineyard-lined valleys and medieval castles. The
cultures that flourished along these inland
waterways are fascinating and unforgettable. Why
limit yourself to the coastal regions visited by
big cruise ships? Sail instead in an intimate
setting aboard a small, cozy and
beautifully-appointed riverboat.
These spectacular
European River Cruises will take you through many
European destinations like Austria,
France, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and Italy.
Experienced travelers agree that European
river cruises are one of the most enjoyable and
hassle-free ways to explore Europe's castles,
cathedrals and picturesque villages. Travel
along the famous rivers of Europe and discover
fascinating history and authentic experiences
with comprehensive sightseeing plus your own
exploration. Discover Grand Cruises along the
Rhine, Main and Danube, as you sail across
Europe from Amsterdam to Vienna, Budapest, or
all the way to the Black Sea. Glide past hilltop
castles on the Rhine. Travel on the great rivers
of France, from Paris to Normandy, or Burgundy
and Provence in the south. Experience colorful
tulips on Dutch and Belgian waterways. Cruise
the Douro in Portugal and Spain. Uncover the
cradle of the Renaissance in northern Italy.
Enjoy the art, music and culture along the
Danube. Make this the year you discover what
makes river cruising in Europe so memorable. |

In addition we offer European river cruises
which are a part of a longer tour
itinerary that include hotel stays. When
packaged this way, our European river cruises
save you up to thirty to forty percent off the price of traveling
the same itinerary on your own. That's because
tour operators negotiate low group rates on
everything from hotels to cabins on European
river cruises, and pass the savings on. And
that's not all. Our European river cruises are
hassle-free because all the details are handled
for you. They're easy to budget, as so much is
included in one price. And, local guides with
years of experience help you discover more
sights than you could possibly find on your own.

fields of Holland, and explore the great museums
and palaces of the Russian Czars. Wherever
rivers lead,

Europe from a delightful and unique perspective.
