WHY RIVER CRUISING?
Get closer to spectacular cityscapes and cruise through canals and rivers with more time in port. As you journey between destinations, gaze out on fabled landscapes dotted with castles, villages and vineyards. Step ashore in fairy-tale towns and major European capitals. Immerse yourself in Europe’s contemporary culture in a way you can’t when traveling on an ocean liner.
Aselection of our favorite itineraries is highlighted below. If you have something else in mind, tell your AAA travel agent and we’ll share all of the possibilities. AAA Travel is proud to partner with several river cruise lines to offer a river cruising experience that meets your unique needs.
River cruising is one of the fastest-growing segments of the cruising industry. If you have ever wondered about taking a river cruise but want to know more, you've come to the right place.
Peaceful and scenic, river cruising offers a
gentle ride along the world’s most beautiful and fascinating rivers. Unparalleled comfort and unique conveniences make river cruising an amazing way to experience magnificent cities, historic villages and little-seen locales. Even from your ship, spectacular natural beauty combines with evolving views of
the colorful local scenery. Sites you'll love seeing tower on both sides as if you could reach out and touch them. Unlike ocean cruising, ships dock right in the heart of town, allowing you to stroll ashore
for guided excursions or to set off to explore on a complimentary bicycle. Unpack just once then settle in as each destination comes to you.
