Trafalgar has announced its expansion into river cruising. Launching in Spring 2026, Trafalgar will debut in Europe with two river cruise journeys along the Rhine and Danube, offering guests must-see sites, local secrets and one-of-a-kind experiences.
As part of its rollout strategy, Trafalgar is opening sales exclusively to its trusted travel partners, giving agents the chance to secure preferred sailing dates and cruises ahead of the general booking window.
Trafalgar begins with two new journeys, an 8-day cruise along the Danube on the 128-passenger Trafalgar Reverie and a 10-day cruise along the Rhine on the 128-passenger Trafalgar Verity.
Both journeys feature signature Trafalgar moments, including Local Specialists who offer in-depth insights into each destination, and meaningful ‘Be My Guest’ encounters that foster real connections with locals.
Each itinerary also features one MAKE TRAVEL MATTER™ Experience that supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Guests will also enjoy a variety of onboard entertainment – from regional performances to in-house baking demonstrations; wellness options from yoga sessions to complimentary bicycles for offshore excursions, and delicious regional dining.
River cruise journeys are open for booking now for sailings beginning April 11, 2026.
