Cruise the world in great company


Imaginative itineraries with a full price guarantee – river and coastal cruises from Voyages Jules Verne

With over 30 years of globe-spanning travel experience, innovative tour operator Voyages Jules Verne offers an array of competitively-priced river and coastal cruising itineraries.  Journey along the charismatic European waterways of the Rhône, Danube and Douro, choose an iconic cruise on the Nile, Mekong, Yangtse or Hoogly, tour the coastline of Croatia and the canals of Venice, or opt for a once-in-a-lifetime experience exploring the remote and wild beauty of Antarctica or the Galapagos Islands.

Renowned for the quality of its arrangements and eclectic range of vessels - including classic river and coastal cruisers, traditional paddle steamers and luxury steamships - each of Voyages Jules Verne’s tours is imaginatively crafted to capture the true essence of a destination and expertly guided by local specialists.

Travelling in limited group sizes alongside companions who share the same tastes and interests, many of the cruises also include special events and/or exclusive arrangements such as helicopter trips over Porto, a Luxor Temple private reception and a private gala ballet performance featuring artistes from Russia’s world-famous dance companies. Many of Voyages Jules Verne’s tours also have no single supplement for single travellers on selected departure dates.
