Discover the best of Europe and Southeast Asia during every season, to add magical experiences to your river cruise. In Europe, summer brings warm temperatures and ideal travelling conditions, while spring brings vibrant tulips in bloom. Or travel in the winter to explore stunning Christmas markets and snow-capped mountains. In Southeast Asia, the tropical climate is ideal year-round. From May to October, short afternoon showers nourish fields with vibrant green pastures, while during the dry season from November to May you can bask in the sunshine, though temperatures will increase.

Knowing the length of time you want to travel will help you choose your itinerary. In Europe, you may like to combine a short river cruise with a land journey or city stay, or simply complete a longer-length cruise or a combination of cruises back-to-back to create your dream holiday. For Southeast Asia, choose a land journey through Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos) with varying durations from 11 to 27 days and then decide between a seven or nine-night Mekong River Cruise within that tour, based on your date of travel. You could even create a trip of a lifetime with a river and ocean cruise combination on a Scenic Eclipse Discovery Yacht. Extend your stay
