September River Cruises

Though it traditionally marks the start of autumn, September is a fantastic month to embark on your river cruise. Not only will you escape the summer holidays rush but you’ll still enjoy fantastic weather, with an incredible selection of itineraries available.

Where can you sail?

There are plenty of choices to pick from for your river cruise, from the coasts and vineyards of France to the architecturally beautiful streets and squares of Northern Europe. Europe is an excellent river cruise destination as cities and towns become less crowded after the height of summer, but you can still catch some lasting weeks of warm weather and sunshine.

September is also a month where more Asian voyages begin to become available, as most regions are at their driest ahead of the monsoon season towards the end of the year. Asian rivers you can sail along during September include the Mekong, Irrawaddy and the Yangtze.
