There’s nothing quite like sailing down
the world’s famous rivers. Sure, the
bigger ocean cruises feature mighty ships, exciting entertainment, and are a great vacation option, but river cruises are becoming the hotspots for many travelers — and for good reason. River cruising offers
a more intimate journey with plenty of relaxation, all-inclusive value, river-facing staterooms (most often) to enjoy the breathtaking scenery, and one-of-a-kind experiences you’ll only find when you journey along inland waterways.
Explore the World’s Great Cities
From iconic “must-sees” like Paris, Amsterdam and Budapest to quaint
villages and towns waiting to be discovered, a river provides you easy access to savor the delights of both. Cities like Berlin, Lisbon, Prague, Vienna, Moscow, Cairo and Beijing are just a few that are accessible on a river cruise. In addition to the rivers listed above, cruises along lesser-known rivers
like the Mekong in Southeast Asia and the Main in Germany are options.
Best Times to Go
Whether you
choose to travel in
the on-season or the
off-season, you’ll be
able to gain a deep
cultural experience
in each of your
destinations. In the
spring and summer,
you may witness local outdoor events and lively activities that only occur during the warmer months of the year. Cooler weather in the fall may mean you’ll run into fewer people in the streets of cities and ports you visit, which will allow you to take your time and get a closer look at sites that interest you without feeling rushed or crowded. And in the winter season, you’ll be delighted by festive Christmas markets and enchanted by the holiday traditions and celebrations of the locals.
Who Would Enjoy a River Cruise?
River cruises are great for everyone, especially those desiring a more relaxed and intimate form of travel. Individuals
who’ve never stepped foot on a ship before will enjoy the relative ease of a river-bound trip with little chance of seasickness. Furthermore, with a focus on cultural exploration of locations, river cruises are perfect for those with a curiosity about art and history, or a general interest in travel. Every river is unique and each tells a different story—not only of
the countries through which it flows, but also of its locks, canals, scenery and bridges.
