Iglu Cruise has long been a go-to for ocean sailings – from Mediterranean getaways to once-in-a-lifetime adventures to Antarctica. Now, the travel agent is relaunching its river cruise programme, expanding its portfolio with curated itineraries from three of the sector’s most respected names: AmaWaterways, Emerald Cruises and Scenic.There’s a growing appetite for river cruising, as more travellers look for new ways to explore Europe’s heartlands. These ships are smaller, the routes more scenic, and the itineraries built around time ashore. River cruises sail right into the centre of towns and cities, making it easy to visit cultural landmarks, sample regional food and wine, or wander at your own pace.Iglu’s new collection includes a variety of itineraries from three distinct cruise lines. AmaWaterways is known for its focus on food, wellness and regionally themed sailings. Emerald Cruises combines contemporary ship design with great value, while Scenic caters to the all-inclusive luxury end of the market, offering exclusive shore experiences and fine dining on board.
