The height of summer is a fantastic time to escape on a river cruise, with cruises in July offering a great selection of sailings for you to enjoy. As the sun shines, nature is in full bloom, and holiday season beckons, July offers the perfect opportunity to explore the world's' waterways. No matter which itinerary you choose, the views from your cabin couldn’t be more charming and extraordinary aboard a July river cruise.
If you’re in Europe, you’ll enjoy some of the continent’s finest weather, whether that be across Northern Europe along the Rhine and Danube or along the waterways of southern France and along Portugal’s River of Gold, the Douro.
Longing for something a little more exotic? Spend your summer sailing along the Mekong River as it courses through Cambodia and Vietnam. The mysterious Mekong is a great choice as temperatures in the region vary between 23°C to 32°C. APT, Avalon Waterways, Emerald Waterways and Scenic Ocean all offer sailings along this unique river.
