October cruises in Europe: exploring cultural heritage by sea and river
Embark on a voyage of Europe’s waterways on one of our expert-led cultural cruises in October 2026. Uncover the rich history, architecture and culture of the Douro region and the Dalmatian Coast, while enjoying the comfort of a first-class small ship exclusively chartered by Martin Randall Travel.
Journey along the unspoilt and scenic Douro river – one of the most secluded and scenically spectacular corners of Europe, bewitching in its splendour and scenic drama. The river sweeps through the wine regions of northern Portugal, passing quinta estastes, where the history of this most spellbinding of wine-growing regions will unfurl as a main theme.
Explore one of the most spectacular of Mediterranean coastlines with crystal water and innumerable islands and inlets on our Sailing the Dalmatian cruise. Join us on our journey from Split to Dubrovnik on an exclusive small ship charter for just 30 passengers to explore the Roman roots of Split and the medieval UNESCO world heritage site that is one of the country's oldest cities.
