European river ports cruise ports
River cruising connects places through waterways rather than a single national coastline. A route overview is useful for understanding that geography, but the stops and moorings on your own sailing remain the basis for a practical plan. Use these pages to identify the river, the destinations along it and the distinction between a riverside stop and a place reached by excursion. Water conditions and operating arrangements can affect an itinerary. Read the guide alongside your operator's current information, and check the meeting point and return time for each day away from the vessel.

Getting into town
A walkable port isn't necessarily step-free. At tender ports, the walk starts at the landing. A fare may cover only part of the journey, so check the guide for the full route.

How to read these comparisons
We only compare shuttles and public transport where walking isn't a clear yes. A bus or shuttle may cover only part of the way, or go somewhere else entirely, so check the guide for the route and what the ticket covers. Free shuttles come first. Fares are only put in order when the tickets are the same kind.
Not recorded: we haven't checked this yet, though the guide may say more. None: the guide records no such service. Not applicable: the comparison doesn't fit, either because the guide covers a route or several places, or because you can walk and a shuttle doesn't matter. Unknown fare: there's a service, but we don't have its price. Service unknown: we haven't confirmed the shuttle runs.
Times and distances run from the berth or landing to the landmark named in each guide. That isn't always the city on your itinerary. On the walking page, realistic walks come first, then conditional ones, then ports where walking isn't practical. Within each group, the shortest walks come first.
