River Cruise World is run by Westgate Travel, an independent travel agency based in Talbot Green, South Wales. We are a small team, and we built this site for one simple reason: river cruising is a wonderful way to travel, but it can be hard to compare ships, routes and fares when every brochure is written to sell rather than explain.
The same team runs several specialist travel sites, including luxury-trains.co.uk for the great rail journeys of the world, norwegiancoastalcruises.com for voyages along the Norwegian coast and antarctica-cruising.com for expedition cruises to the White Continent. River Cruise World follows the same approach: focus on one kind of holiday and get to know it properly.
We act as an agent for the cruise lines we feature. Our first is Viking River Cruises, and more lines will be added over time, so you will be able to compare different styles of river cruise in one place. When you book with us, your holiday is booked directly with the cruise line, and we stay on hand to answer questions right up to the day you leave.
We work by email, which suits most of our travellers well. It gives you a written record of every price and detail, lets you take your time over decisions and means your questions reach someone who knows the product. Write to enquiries@rivercruiseworld.co.uk and tell us what you have in mind.
Our aim is straightforward advice. If a cheaper stateroom would suit you just as well, or a different river would be a better fit, we will say so. We would much rather you come back to us for your next cruise than sell you the wrong one this time.
