River & Ocean Cruise Holidays
Rivers or oceans. Coach or air. All sorted.
National Holidays runs great-value river and ocean cruise holidays, with many sailings reached by coach so there's no flying, and others flying out to further waters. Either way, the trip is sorted for you.
There's a particular kind of relaxation that only cruising delivers. Unpack once, watch the world drift past and let the days unfold at their own pace. Whether it's the great rivers of Europe or the open sea, a cruise turns the journey itself into the holiday.
At National Holidays, we make getting there as easy as the cruise itself. Many of our sailings are no-fly, with comfortable coach travel to the ship, while others fly you out to further-flung waters. We tell you which is which, sort the details and leave you to enjoy the trip.
River and Ocean Cruise Holidays with National Holidays
Our cruise programme covers two very different ways to sail. On the rivers, you can glide through the heart of Europe on our river cruises, taking in the cities and scenery from the water. Some of these are no-fly, with coach travel to the ship and ferry crossings included, while others, like the Douro cruises with A-ROSA, fly you out to Portugal. Out at sea, our Ambassador ocean cruises offer the classic cruising experience, with all the entertainment and comfort of life aboard.
Each cruise sets out exactly what's included, from the dining on board to how you travel to the ship, whether that's by coach or by air. You'll see the full details on each individual cruise, so you know precisely what you're booking before you go.
