Insight Guides Great River Cruises Europe & The Nile by Brian Bell is an indispensable guide for anyone planning a river cruise in Europe or on the Nile. Like all Insight Guides it is beautifully illustrated with full colour photographs and street maps throughout.
It covers all the major European rivers in France, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Portugal, Italy, Scotland, Ireland, Russia and the Ukraine plus the Nile in Egypt. One noticeable exclusion in England.
A travelogue accompanies the reader along each river with details of the sights and history of the region. For each major port of call, there is a colour coded two or four page spread with descriptions and photographs, street maps and details on getting around, business hours and other useful information.
A Travel Tips section provides useful tips on choosing a cruise and a vessel, when to go, what to take with you and life on board. There is practical information for each country covered in the main guide with basic facts and figures, any entry requirements and customs regulations, currency, shopping and importantly health and insurance details.
Finally there is a table with over 400 river cruise vessels that are star rated with details about when they were built, how many cabins they have and which rivers they operate on.
