European River Cruise Expert
River cruising is a great way to see the wine regions of Europe.
You get to travel through some of the most beautiful and historic wine-growing regions in the world, while also enjoying the convenience and comfort of a river cruise ship.
There are many different river cruise itineraries that focus on wine, so we can find one that fits your interests and budget. Some popular wine regions for river cruising include:
- The Dordogne & Garonne rivers, in the Bordeaux region
- The Rhine River in Germany, France, and Switzerland- The Douro River in Portugal
- The Rhone River in France
- The Danube River in Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, and Germany
- The Moselle River in Germany
On a river cruise, you'll have the opportunity to visit wineries, go on wine tastings, and learn about the history and culture of winemaking in each region. You'll also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the wine country, and sample some of the delicious local cuisine.
Here are some of the benefits of river cruising for wine lovers:
- Convenience: River cruises are a great way to see a lot of wine country in a short amount of time. You don't have to worry about driving, parking, or finding your way around.
- Comfort: River cruise ships are typically small and intimate, so you'll feel like you're part of a small group. The cabins are spacious and comfortable, and there are plenty of amenities on board, such as restaurants, bars, and swimming pools.
- Education: Many river cruise lines offer educational programs about winemaking, so you can learn about the history and process of winemaking. You'll also have the opportunity to meet with winemakers and learn about their wines.
- Affordability: River cruises can be a great way to experience wine country without breaking the bank. There are a variety of price points available, so we can find a cruise that fits your budget.
If you're a wine lover, I highly recommend considering a river cruise as a way to see the wine regions of Europe. It's a great way to relax, learn about winemaking, and sample some of the world's best wines.

Huge Success in Dubrovnik
Reviewed By JS - Jacksonville, FL | Traveled to Croatia ~ Europe
Jeff: I just wanted to write a note to tell you that the arrangements you made for E and me (and my sister in Dubrovnik) all came together without a hitch and helped ensure that our trip was a huge success. All of the tours, transfers, and Dubrovnik hotel met or exceeded our expectations. The last leg of my flight (from Atlanta to Jacksonville) was early if you can imagine that. Thanks again. JSPS The oysters/mussels wine excursion to Ston was fabulous and definitely a highlight (even though it was a bit pricey).

Amazing Trip Out West
Reviewed By JD - Bowdon, GA | Traveled to USA
We just took an amazing trip of the American West none of us will soon forget! Every transaction was as Jeff planned. He secured our flights, rental car, hotels, tickets for multiple top notch tours, and travel insurance. He planned and managed all of the logistical details. He was very knowledgeable about the area and it was evident he had visited the area himself (Phoenix AZ, Sedona, South Rim, Page, Zion, Las Vegas). He booked us with one of the most trusted airlines, reserved us an Infinity QX60 for a one way trip during a rental car shortage. This 10 day trip was all planned by Jeff in less than 48 hours. I contacted Jeff and he replied the same day and this entire trip was booked in about 48 hours for the dates we originally scheduled. No complaints, only gratitude! We will definitely use Coggin Travels again and highly recommend this agent!
