HF Holidays has launched a River & Coastal Cruise Collection for 2026.

The new itineraries combine premium small-ship river and coastal cruises with small group guided walking experiences in Europe, covering the Rhine, Seine and Danube Rivers, as well as Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast.

A highlighted itinerary is the seven-night Cruise and Walk the River Rhine which leads in from £2,699, including flights.

Passengers will embark at Amsterdam and sail through the Netherlands, Germany, France and Switzerland, with guided walks in Amsterdam, Strasbourg and Siebengebirge (Seven Mountains) Nature Park.

Another highlight is the seven-night Cruise and Walk the River Seine which starts from £2,899 including rail travel on Eurostar.

The route combines a small-ship river cruise through northwest France with calls in Rouen, Giverny and Paris.

There is also a special interest itinerary, the seven-night Cruise & Classical Music on the River Danube which costs from £2,699 including live performances, music-themed sightseeing and guided walks.

HF Holidays chief executive Chris Simmonds said: “We are excited to launch our new collection of Cruise & Walk holidays for 2026.

“We know many of our guests and members already enjoy cruising and now we can offer them the opportunity to combine small-ship cruising with walking to see Europe from a whole new perspective.

“Sailing in comfort, HF Holiday guests can then step ashore each day for exclusive small group guided walks, tours and sightseeing with our HF Tour Managers and expert local leaders designed specifically for HF Holidays guests.

“The launch of this brand new programme is a very exciting step for us and true to our co-operative spirit; camaraderie and community sit at the heart of every journey with exclusive sociable excursions and shared dining by night.”
