With autumn well and truly here, many of us are already longing for the summer once more and a river cruise offers the perfect escape from the often dreary weather back home, with an excellent selection of October cruises available.
Whether it’s the Danube or the Rhine, October is a fantastic time to cruise, with much of Europe still enjoying pleasant weather. What's more, events such as Oktoberfest and Halloween making for some exciting themed events to get involved with!
For sailings further afield, Asia continues to welcome visitors to its riverbanks, including rivers such as the Mekong.
