5 reasons why fall is ideal for river cruising
Summer may be in the air, but now's the time to settle your fall travel plans.
Depending on where you go in Europe, the season offers myriad unique joys.
Head to Central Europe for cozy sweater weather and the changing of the
leaves, visit wine country for harvest season, or take advantage
of the beautiful weather in the south of France.
Autumnal Riverscapes
 
One of our most popular itineraries, Castles along the Rhine is
particularly picturesque in the fall, when you can spot dozens of
medieval fortresses nestled into red and gold hillsides.
Wine Harvest Season
 
Harvest season is an excellent time to embark on a wine trip like
Brilliant Bordeaux. The vineyards are buzzing with activity, and you
can see more of the winemaking process in action.
Temperate Weather
 
The best time of year to join our Burgundy & Provence trip might just
be the fall; the sun is still out, but the heat is milder, and the
summer crowds begin to disperse.
Shoulder Season Perks
 
Traveling just outside of peak season—AKA "shoulder season"—can
make a big difference in terms of crowds, particularly in sought-after
destinations like those on Enchanting Danube.

It's not too late to save on luxury travel for this fall! Book by July 31, 2024,

Why a River Cruise?
Why a River Cruise?
Travel all over, unpack once on boutique river cruises that take you through countries, not around them. Besides being one of the most immersive ways to travel, our trips also offer a more personal experience on ships averaging under 120 guests with a guest-to-crew ratio of 2.4 to 1.
