Evergreen Cruises & Tours has an excellent reputation for quality, value and professional service. From start to finish, we carefully plan, arrange and coordinate every aspect of your holiday. Our itineraries are cleverly designed with the appropriate balance of inclusions, must-see sights and free time, all planned to unlock Europe’s richness and vibrancy.

Our guests recognise that value is not only about the price but also what’s included in a cruise and tour. As part of the Scenic Group, we use the organisation’s purchasing power to pass the best value on to you.

Every one of our unforgettable cruises has been designed to showcase the best

of what the local region has to offer. Our inclusions bring to life the Europe you’ve always dreamed of.

You can look forward to an included excursion in almost every destination you visit. On your river cruise you’ll enjoy at least one included guided shore excursion every day. On these tours you’ll also receive your own personal ‘whisper’ headset so you don’t miss any of the fascinating information your Local Guide will present.

Evergreen encourages you to be active and use your free time to explore Europe like a local, by bike and on foot. Maps of each town, village and city are provided at the Reception of your ‘Star Ship’

and your Cruise Director can suggest sightseeing off the regular tourist routes.

Join us on a journey into the Europe seldom seen by visitors. Evergreen includes unique and exclusive local experiences where our guests are welcomed into the lives of real people. You’ll come home with a knowledge of Europe far deeper than a grand church or historic landmark alone can offer. In small groups, you’ll meet local families and leave with an understanding of daily life in Europe.

These rewarding experiences will all become lasting memories and are exclusive to Evergreen.

Our You’re Invited, EmeraldACTIVE and Discover More programmes are highlighted on each itinerary page in coloured text.

More active inclusions for the guests who enjoy a slightly faster pace.

A range of extra sightseeing allowing you to personalise your holiday in your free time. Additional expense.
