European Cycling Adventure

As if river cruises in Europe, with their quaint bank-side villages, marvelous hotel stays and intimate settings weren't already one of the most enjoyable leisure vacations available, there's a new breed of river cruise appearing that caters to those who want to get a more intimate view of the land these scenic rivers navigate.

Peter Deilmann Cruises has announced the creation of a countryside cycling program for some of its river cruises along the Seine, the Rhone, the Elbe and the Danube rivers this summer.

From June to September, the cruise line's cycling-themed river excursions will include the chance for adventurous but introspective bicycle rides through some of the most intriguing areas of France and Germany. Some of the cycle tours include backwoods paths, monasteries, castles, orchards, nature reserves, wine-tastings, picnics, and hotel stays overnight. This type of slow travel will allow visitors to take in the essence of cities like Lyon, Dresden, Paris, Vienna, Budapest and Hamburg from a totally different perspective than the average escorted tour or cruise.
