Welcome to the world of river cruising, one of the most effortless, immersive, and memorable ways to travel.
At Complete Getaways, we believe the best trips don’t just take you somewhere — they immerse you in it. That’s why we’re thrilled to bring you the magic of river cruising — a unique, luxurious, and surprisingly adventurous way to experience the world.
Forget what you’ve heard — river cruises aren’t just for retirees
Travelers in their 30s, 40s, 50s, and beyond are discovering just how incredible these journeys can be. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, planning a romantic getaway, gathering your best friends for an epic trip, or checking a dream destination off your bucket list, a river cruise offers a perfect blend of culture, connection, and comfort.
Why You’ll Love Traveling by River Cruise
- Explore More, Stress Less:
Unlike traditional ocean cruises, river cruises dock right in the center of historic cities and picturesque towns, giving you more time to explore and less time commuting. Step off the ship and right into the action — museums, cafés, local markets, and famous landmarks await just steps away. No long bus rides or transfers — just more time soaking in culture, food, and unforgettable sights.
- Unpack Once, See So Much:
With a river cruise, you only unpack once. Your luxurious stateroom travels with you as you glide effortlessly from city to city. No trains to catch, no hotel check-ins — just settle into your luxurious room — your boutique hotel on water — and wake up somewhere breathtakingly new each day. - Boutique Luxury, Not Big Crowds:
Forget massive cruise ships with thousands of passengers. River cruise ships are intimate by design, often carrying fewer than 200 guests. That means no overwhelming crowds, no lines, and a truly personal travel experience. - All-Inclusive Perks:
Many river cruises include guided tours, gourmet meals, fine wines, local excursions, and cultural performances — giving you incredible value and eliminating the need to budget for every meal or excursion. - See Multiple Countries in One Trip:
Why limit yourself to one destination? In a single river cruise, you could explore the fairytale towns of Germany, the vineyards of France, the art cities of the Netherlands, or the castles of Austria — all while relaxing in the comfort of your floating hotel. With a river cruise lets you see more without feeling rushed. - Authentic Local Experiences:
Enjoy private wine tastings, market tours, cooking classes, outdoor concerts, and more. River cruises specialize in immersive, enriching experiences that connect you to the heart of each destination. You’ll enjoy authentic local experiences you simply can’t replicate with traditional travel. - A Travel Style That Fits You:
River cruising has evolved. Today’s river cruises feature luxurious accommodations, outstanding dining options, rooftop pools, wellness activities like yoga, mixology classes, and even active excursion options — perfect for travelers who want culture, adventure, and modern comfort all in one trip. - Sail along the Danube from Germany to Hungary, where medieval towns, grand cathedrals, and vibrant cities await.
- Glide through the Seine in France, savoring fine wines and the romance of Parisian nights.
- Journey through Portugal’s Douro Valley, known for its rolling hills and legendary vineyards.
- Enjoy the stunning Rhine River featuring fairytale castles, dramatic valleys, and historic cities across Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands.
- Wander through tulip fields and historic windmills in the Netherlands on a springtime cruise you’ll never forget.
