The World's Most Incredible Regions and Rivers

The ever-changing scenery affords guests an opportunity to explore some of the oldest historical cities and locations across the globe once in port, too. Dive into the world of winemaking on the Douro or travel back to a forgotten world along the Rhine, where medieval towns line its banks like something from a fairy tale.

Elsewhere, the Yangtze river gives you the chance to see Beijing and Shanghai up close in all its technological splendour, a technicolour tapestry of sights and sounds that delights all who journey through it. Along the River Volga, a winding 2,175-mile stretch that weaves through the heart of Russia, you’ll experience the curiosity and mystery of a country still shrouded in intrigue.
