Itineraries and destinations offered by Celebrity River Cruises
Celebrity River Cruises offers an in-depth exploration of Europe’s two vital arteries: the Rhine and the Danube. The Rhine cruises connect Amsterdam to Basel, passing through landscapes of steep vineyards, medieval castles, and iconic cities such as Strasbourg, Cologne, and Rüdesheim. Themed departures are also offered during tulip season in the Netherlands or for the Christmas markets in Alsace and Germany.
The Danube cruises extend from Bavaria to the Black Sea. Passengers can choose classic cruises connecting Vienna and Budapest, or venture toward the Lower Danube to discover the Iron Gates and Serbia, with extended overnight stays in Bucharest. These journeys are marked by stops in less frequented ports, offering direct access to the historic heart of cities and hidden gems of European heritage.
For those wishing to extend their stay, pre- and post-cruise extensions are available in iconic cities such as Prague or Budapest, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in the local culture before or after the cruise.
