Thoughts of going to Europe during your next summer break? You might find it a lot more amusing and calming if you take one of many European cruise travel right out of a city like New York. Now think about it: one time you are in Rome, and the next you are wandering the avenues of Istanbul. You don’t even have to pack up to reach the next destination. Simply rest into your cabin on a extravagant cruise ship and let the ocean take you to dream cities across Europe. Without phone communication on the open water it guaranteed you shall have a trouble free holiday. Why sail on the sea? You can experience a completely unique holiday by cruising on the rivers.

1. Guadalquivir River: While sailing on the Guadalquivir river, you will totally feel the country, its traditions, food and wine. You will make a break to the cities of Jerez and Seville. The crafts are very comfortable.

2. Volga River: It may not be the most lavish cruise however it certainly has its gems. But don’t worry, the cabins are relaxed enough and the food served on-board is great. So go travel the longest European river.

3. Rhine River: You will cruise on a excellent boat trough five countries while a group of excellent chefs prepare your very great tasting meals. You will view fairytale castles in Germany and party in Amsterdam!

4. Gota Canal: This cruise is located in Sweden. This cruise isn’t a five star cruise also. The showers and toilets are common. But if you don’t object to that, you should go for this dreamy cruise from Stockholm to Gothenburg.

5. Dnieper River: This one is a little longer – you will cruise 17 days from Kiev, Ukraine to Istanbul, Turkey. However it’s worth it! Additionally the ship is comfortable and lavish, the food is fantastic. 6. Elbe River: This one starts from Berlin. You will catch a sight of Eastern Germany and a little of Czech Republic. It cotinous for 12 days and a four star vessel gives you everything you require to feel comfortable and secure.

7. Douro River: This cruise sails in Portugal and Spain. Great cruise for wine aficionados! This cruise has a number of fabulous wine making parts of the two countries. The ship is great, it even has an on board swimming pool!

8. Rhone River: Cruise through France. Very romantic journey through Rhone Valley including a number of great outings available. The vessel is better than a number of of the five star hotels. 9. Po River: If Italy sounds attractive, set off cruising its longest river (although this is the shortest trip on this list – it takes only 6 days). The vessel is quite good, and the on-board cuisine is great.

10. Danube River: I’m sure you’ve been informed about the most prominent waltz ever! So why not travel the Blue Danube? The trip starts in Germany (Passau) and ends in Hungary (Budapest). The ship is so striking and comfortable.
