Switch off and drift off along Europe’s waterways on a Riviera Travel cruise says Sarah Riches

Moon river, wider than a mile / I’m crossing you in style some day... Two drifters, off to see the world / There’s such a lot of world to see.... sang the actress Audrey Hepburn in the classic 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Hepburn was right – there is such a lot of world to see. And if, like Hepburn, you’ve always dreamt of drifting down a river in style, then you may be in luck as Riviera Travel is offering the chance for you and a guest to win a five- to seven-night river cruise through Europe in 2024 or 2025.

When sailing down the river Seine, Rhone or Rhine, you will meander past the 12th century Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, the two-tiered Roman amphitheatre in Arles and the majestic castles in the Rhine Gorge.

While the landmarks’ will grab your attention, take time to notice the rivers’ more subtle delights too.

Keep an eye out for herons hiding in reed beds on the riverbank, listen to the sounds of water lapping gently against the ship’s hull or the distant toll of church bells and breathe in the earthy aroma of the Rhone Valley’s vineyards – then taste some of their produce onboard.

Such journeys provide a unique perspective on the region’s history, culture and natural beauty, allowing you to immerse yourself in the tranquil rhythm of life along Europe’s waterways.
