Czech Republic Small River Cruises
Cruising Europe is not stepping aboard a massive cruise ship with 2,500 other people... no, we do cruising right when it
comes to Europe! Small, modern but luxurious river ships with less than 200 people to share a journey through the small
waterways of Europe, exploring small towns and villages and making friends along the way.
When it comes to dining, you’ll savor your destination in more ways than one. Whether you’re planning a busy day of sightseeing or a relaxing day on board, start each day with the breakfast that’s right for you! Sumptuous breakfast buffets feature menu items that are conveniently color coded to indicate foods that are low calorie, low fat/low calorie, high fiber, low cholesterol, and high energy. Meanwhile, tantalizing lunch buffets will please your palate, and each onboard sit-down dinner features an inviting selection of appetizers, soups, entrees (including vegetarian choices), desserts, and complimentary coffee, tea, and regional wines. From the rouladen of Germany to the fine wines of France, our professional chefs will delight your tastebuds with regional specialties as well as Western favorites. And for those times when a quiet breakfast sounds appealing, room service of Continental breakfast is available in all Royal Deck staterooms and suites on our European ships.
