Europe’s great rivers, made simple

Sail the Danube, Rhine, Moselle or Douro on contemporary ships that dock close to the old towns. Expect walking tours in the morning, lingering afternoons for cafés and galleries, and relaxed evenings back on board with regional dishes and wine. With flights and transfers included, Europe-by-river becomes an easy, good-value choice for first-timers and seasoned cruisers alike.

Croatia by small yacht

Travelmarvel’s intimate yachts trace the Dalmatian coast between Split and Dubrovnik with calls at islands such as Hvar and Korčula. Days are unhurried: swim stops in clear coves, strolls through stone-paved squares and dinner ashore if you fancy it. Small-ship scale means fewer fellow guests and more time in harbour.

Egypt and Asia with the essentials included

On the Nile, classic temple days pair with a comfortable river ship base. In Southeast Asia, Mekong itineraries weave between floating markets and riverside villages. In both regions, Travelmarvel’s value-first approach covers meals, core sightseeing and tipping, so the only surprises are the good kind.

"Flights, transfers and drinks with dinner were all wrapped in, so we just picked a café and wandered. The ship docked close to the old towns, the tours were spot-on, and it felt effortless from start to finish—great value without feeling cut-back."

A beginner’s guide to river cruises: myth vs reality

If you've never taken a river cruise before, you could be forgiven for imagining doilies, decaf, and a schedule that rigidly revolves around mealtimes and a bingo bell. But river cruising, dear reader, has had something of a glow-up in recent years.
