European Canal & River Guides

Continental Europe offers the world's most extensive network of navigable waterways. Our collection covers the major river and canal systems – from France's celebrated Canal du Midi to the Rhine and Danube, waterways that connect nations and cultures across the continent.

These guides detail Europe's varied inland routes: ancient canals, commercial rivers repurposed for leisure, and purpose-built waterway connections. Each provides essential information on lock systems, height and depth restrictions, winter closures, and the practical considerations of cross-border cruising.

For those drawn to Europe's historic heart, these guides unlock thousands of miles of inland cruising through landscapes inaccessible to coastal sailors.
