With more itineraries and better, newer river cruise vessels, European river cruising is poised for a boom, predicts a leading operator.

Luxury river cruise specialist Peter Deilmann Cruises forecasts that river cruising will be one of the growing travel trends in 2007 as the public's interest in cruising holidays continues to grow and the choice of vessels and itineraries continues to improve.

Peter Deilmann's programme of river cruises for 2007 features a choice of classic itineraries along Europe's greatest rivers: the Danube, Seine, Rhine, Rhône and Elbe. Passengers can sit back and relax on board a choice of eight luxury vessels, and visit some of the most beautiful cities and historic places on the continent. The captivating itineraries take away the stress of tenders or coach transfers by delivering passengers to the heart of the cities, giving instant access to the cultural sights, history, art and architecture of Europe, while offering all the amenities of a luxury floating five-star hotel - gourmet food, great wines and superb service.

Highlights include:

  • Prague & the Treasures of Saxony: A seven night cruise along the historic river Elbe from Prague to Postdam (Berlin) or vice versa aboard either the five star MV Katharina von Bora or the MV Frederic Chopin
  • Dutch Waterways: A seven night round trip from Amsterdam visiting the flower-filled fields of Holland and Belgium aboard the five star MV Heidelberg
  • Majestic Blue Danube: A 10 night cruise from baroque Passau in Bavaria to Constanta on the shores of the Black Sea aboard the five star MV Mozart
  • Week-long cruises along the rivers Rhône and Saône, past the famous vineyards of Burgundy and the lavender-scented hills of Provence, aboard the luxury Princess of Provence.
