It would be very difficult to find a better way of discovering a large number of interesting and famous locations than taking one of many river boat cruises available in Europe. One of the most famous of these is the Rhine cruise. This usually takes in the major cities of Europe, including Amsterdam, Cologne and Prague.

These boats are usually regarded as travelling hotels and are extremely luxurious. However the accommodation is usually limited to approximately 200, therefore combining the feeling of luxury and companionship. Even if you are travelling alone, you are bound to develop new friendships as you discover the hidden gems on the banks of this River.

A lot of Rhine cruises usually start in the city of Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands. Here you will be able to visit some of the most famous art museums of Europe, and stroll along the numerous canals. You shouldn't miss the opportunity to visit the Anne Frank house, the location where the young girl wrote her diaries during the country's occupation in World War II.

The next major city on the cruise would most probably be Cologne, where you have the opportunity to take a trip around the magnificent Cologne Cathedral. Bonn, the former capital of West Germany is close by. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall the status of capital city has moved to Berlin.

A city that is becoming extremely popular to visit is Prague, in the Czech Republic. A major Eastern European city, it contains a wealth of history and culture. It is quickly becoming one of the most visited cities within Europe, especially by backpackers.

river boat cruises of Europe visit non-traditional tourist attractions, however they are usually full of interesting landmarks that you would normally not get to see in a typical vacation. These cruises give you the opportunity to disembark and visit certain areas more closely, whereas others you will be able to view as you sail slowly past. A very luxurious way to visit Europe.
