Discover the joys of river cruising-one of the oldest forms of travel.

Are you an experienced traveler at a loss for where to visit next?  Would you like to see more of an inland region than just the vicinity around your hotel?  Do you like comfortable travel?  If the answer is yes to any of these questions, a river cruise might just be the vacation you are looking for.

Even if you’ve been to a place before, travelling there by riverboat will present it in a whole new light.  Consider the benefits of riverboat cruising:

* You can see many places and cover large distances without the inconvenience of living out of a suitcase
* You can enjoy the best experiences of cruising  yet won’t suffer seasickness
* You can choose from a wide range of itineraries from the traditional destinations such as the Rhine, the Danube or the Seine to more unusual waterways like those that flow through China, Russia or Ukraine.

Riverboats are purpose-built and only cater to between 30 and 230 passenger.   Thus providing passengers with intimate surroundings, good facilities and an exceptionally friendly atmosphere.

All meals are included and dining is like eating at your favorite restaurant,  just with constantly changing views.  In fact the cuisine is usually excellent and the menus are influenced by the regions visited.  Most lines now include local wines with dinner at no extra charge.

Riverboats vary between 180 and 400 feet in length but facilities are similar: typically, there are one or two restaurants, a bar, and lounge, and sometimes a small shop, fitness center or pool. Topside,  there’s a spacious sun deck for enjoying the views in fair weather.

You won’t find lively casinos or glitzy shows on board,  but more often than not there is entertainment, perhaps from the ship’s band or from local musicians.  The cabins are more compact then most ocean-going ships but they all have large windows with views of the river – something you wouldn’t necessarily get on an ocean-going cruise ship.

Sailing on rivers puts you within easy reach of the region’s best towns and cities and you will frequently find yourself moored in the heart of a town or village. You can either explore at you leisure or join an organized excursion, perhaps a guided city tour or wine tasting at a nearby vineyard.  Typically, shore excursions are included in the cost of the cruise with optional tours available at an additional charge.

River cruising offers the opportunity to admire extrordinary landscapes, visit a host of fascinating places, travel at a liesurely pace and enjoy wonderful food and friendships on board – all with great ease.
