Why you should go: Cruising isn't all about the ocean. River cruises take you past serene landscapes at a leisurely pace. Many of the world's most beautiful destinations are built along its great waterways. So, they also provide an immersive adventure as you dock right in the heart of towns and cities.

Imagine Cruising has curated a collection of six of the best, starting from £1749 per person. A few of our favourites:

• Cruise the enchanting Danube this summer. Sail from Bavaria, through Austria and Slovakia, to Budapest. At £1799 per person on multiple dates, it saves up to £1696 compared to the regular price for just the flights and cruise.
• Meander down the Nile on a brand-new ship with experts onboard. Explore the treasures of ancient Egypt. At £2899 per person, you'll also get three nights in Cairo. And save up to £1496.
• Traverse the mighty Mekong later this year. Start in Cambodia and tour the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat temples. Sail through sleepy fishing villages and serene rice paddies into the Vietnamese Delta region. At £2699 per person, it saves us £296 compared to pricing elsewhere.

What's the big deal? We found savings of 9–48% on prices elsewhere. These all include flights, taxes, and fees.
