Stuart Coffield presents Europe’s best river cruises

TRAVELLERS looking to experience Europe at a slower pace have more options than ever, with Scenic’s 2026 France and Portugal river cruising program now available through Geelong Travel.

The collection, presented by Geelong Travel director Stuart Coffield, features all-inclusive cruises through some of Europe’s most celebrated waterways, including Bordeaux, the Rhône and Saône rivers in southern France, the Seine through Normandy and Paris, and Portugal’s picturesque Douro Valley.

Coffield said the itineraries continue to appeal to travellers seeking a more immersive way to explore Europe, combining local culture, food, wine and history with the convenience of unpacking just once.

Scenic’s luxury river cruises include meals and beverages, butler service, Scenic Freechoice excursions, airport transfers and gratuities, while travellers can also personalise their journey with optional city stays in destinations including Paris, London, Lisbon, Porto and Madrid, or by combining multiple itineraries into a longer European holiday.

Coffield is also offering exclusive savings on selected Scenic departures, alongside Scenic’s 2026 earlybird offers, which include discounts, selected airfare offers and bonus hotel nights on eligible cruises.

Bookings for Scenic’s France and Portugal 2026 season are available through Geelong Travel, with Coffield and the Belmont-based team able to help travellers tailor river cruises, extensions and land journeys to suit individual travel plans.
