Trafalgar will sail Danube and Rhine itineraries this year on the 128-passenger Trafalgar Verity and Trafalgar Reverie. Stroll through Bratislava's medieval Old Town and sample Vienna's famed Sachertorte on Best of the Danube, or explore Amsterdam's canals and enjoy lunch at a family farm on Best of the Rhine & Amsterdam. In 2027, Trafalgar will introduce Seine River sailings in France on the 126-passenger Trafalgar Harmonie.

On every sailing, all meals on your ship are included, along with beer and wine during lunch and dinner. Ships feature onboard entertainment such as cooking demonstrations and regional performances. Wellness options include yoga sessions and complimentary bike rentals. The company's signature "Be My Guest" dining excursions are offered on all trips, and hotel extensions in cities like Lucerne, Prague, Paris and London are also available.
