Enjoy the gentle pace of river life and the landscapes that unfold in comfort and luxury - these are great journeys of discovery without the need to pack and unpack on a regular basis. Enjoy the history and drama of the River Nile either on an exclusive Bales Dahabiyya or another of our carefully selected river boats. In the Far East venture into the Gorges of the mighty Yangtze or explore the Mekong, Upper or Lower sections, on a small boat adventure. The riverside communities and cultures in India or Myanmar (Burma) are brought to life on the Bhramaputra, Ganges or Irrawaddy. Try game viewing from the Zambezi or venture into one of the world's greatest wildernesses, the Amazon, where the river itself becomes the highway and lifeblood of the region.
