May River Cruises

 

The last days of spring see a fantastic choice of May cruise itineraries available, as Europe starts to enjoy a noticeably warmer climate and much of the world starts to welcome the summer season.

 

Where Can You Sail?


Legendary capital cities like Paris, Amsterdam, Budapest and Vienna are all yours to explore during a river cruise in May, along with a host of historic towns and cities. Alternatively, you could visit the river of gold in Portugal, as the Douro's sun-kissed valleys offer the perfect place to sail.
