Railbookers is highlighting its train journeys as an alternative way to experience European rivers amid low water levels.
Railbookers’ Famous Rivers by Rail collection features five independent holidays following the Rhine and Danube through some of Europe’s most popular destinations.
Low water levels have led to changes on some European river sailings. For travellers interested in the destinations along these rivers, traveling by train offers another way to build a holiday around the places and scenery that draw visitors to the Rhine and Danube each year.

Railbookers also offers holidays around other famous European rivers, including the Seine in France and the Douro in Portugal.
“People have always been drawn to Europe’s great rivers, but you don’t have to be on the water to experience everything that makes these regions special,” Railbookers president and CEO Frank Marini said. “By train, you can spend a few days in places like Vienna, Budapest or Cologne, explore beyond the riverfront and then continue on to the next stop.”
