Explore England on a Luxury River Cruise

England and the United Kingdom are amongst the most popular travel destinations in the world. However, the magical waters of the stunning island are often overlooked as tourists opt for the big cities such as London to go sightseeing and see sights such as Big Ben, Westminster, The Tower Of London, The London Eye, Tower Bridge, and other sights that tourists typically associate with England. However, in doing so they are missing the opportunity to see the true beauty of classic England.

A far cry from the hustle and bustle of London, the English waterways offer a serene and quaint way of seeing the rustic elegance of the country as it sails through the green landscape of the countryside and also some of the most important sites in the identity of the historic country.

Throughout your journey, you will get the chance to see gorgeous riverside towns, villages and through the River Thames Royal and past numerous royal palaces. The majority of your journey will be through the picturesque royal towns in Surrey and Berkshire. Along the way, there will be multiple stops allowing you time to explore the natural beauty that these areas have to offer.
