What is a River Cruise?

River Cruises include hosted tours in every port. You receive personalized attention from your Tour Director who will arrange culturally enriching excursions in conjunction with knowledgeable Local Guides. Many lines offer private entries to visit sites after-hours, allowing you to miss the crowds and get immersed in the local culture. Indulge in fine food onboard and in destination with menus based on fresh local ingredients. Evenings can be spent in a relaxing lounge enjoying regional musical or folkloric performances. Most lines also include complimentary internet and beverages with your meals. Some lines are completely inclusive which would allow you to end your cruise with no onboard bill to settle.

When should I book?

River Cruises should be booked a year in advance to secure the best price and your desired cabin selection. The most popular itinerary is the South of France, followed by the Danube between Amsterdam and Budapest. There are many other destinations that are quickly becoming favorites such as the Mekong River, Russia, the Black Sea and the Beaches of Normandy.
