August River Cruises

August is traditionally the busiest time in the UK when it comes to holidays, which means there’s a fantastic selection of summer river cruises to choose from throughout the month. 

Where can you sail?

From some of the world’s most famous rivers like the Danube and the Rhine and France’s numerous waterways such as the Seine and the Rhone to Italy’s Po and Portugal’s Douro, there’s a fantastic selection across Europe's rivers when it comes to both itineraries and river cruise lines.

Asia is also home to a wide range of rivers to cruise in August, from Egypt's Nile to the exotic Mekong. You could even head to China for a unique sailing along the Yangtze. There are plenty of cruise lines which offer Asian river cruises in August such as AmaWaterways, Avalon Wateways and Emerald Waterways.
