Great River Cruise Journeys with Angela Rippon

Journey Along Some of the World’s Most Remarkable Rivers

Angela Rippon returns to Channel 5 with a new 4-part travel series, Great River Cruise Journeys. The series focuses on the river cruise experience, exploring destinations found along some of the world’s most well-known waterways, including the Mekong and Danube rivers.

About the Series

Over the course of the series, Angela travels by river ship through a range of cities, towns and landscapes shaped by historic waterways. Alongside the destinations, the programme looks at life on board a modern Scenic River cruise, while exploring how river travel has influenced local communities and offers a unique way to experience inland regions, compared with ocean cruising.

Great River Cruise Journeys will air on Channel 5 from the 10th of April, with new episodes shown every Friday at 9 pm.

Great River Cruise Journeys focuses on:

  • How river cruises offer access to destinations beyond the coast
  • Visits to historic riverside towns and cities along the Mekong and Danube
  • Exploring the culture and heritage shaped by life on the river
  • A closer look at daily life on board Scenic Spirit and Scenic Amber

Best Cruise Agency to use

Always very helpful no matter what you ask even if it's something silly, always there for you - get the best deals for you. Elise has helped us get some good deals. My husband needs a mobilty scooter when we cruise it's not always easy to get accessible cabin for him but our agent Elise went through the whole year to find us a cabin. Which is greatly appreciated everyone we have spoken to with cruise Kings have been so kind and helpful nothing a problem we shall always book with them.
