Unpack Once
Your River Cruise Ship is a beautiful floating hotel
Once you are onboard the ship and unpack your suitcase, you won't have to worry about it again for the rest of your cruise. This gives you more time to enjoy the things you love to do.
Culinary Delights
River Cruising is known for it's amazing dining choices
Many of the Cruise Lines will create incredible dishes made with fresh ingredients found in each port and quite often served with indulgent wines from the regions you may be travelling in. Delicious!
Relax and Enjoy the View
No matter where you are on the ship, the views are outstanding
Whether you are sitting on the sky deck or enjoying the scenery from your stateroom, dining Al Fresco or in the main dining room, there is always something new and exciting to see. Relax and rejuvenate while on board your ship, breathe deep and take in the view.
Extra Inclusions
Most River Cruises include many things ocean cruises do not
Wine or Beer with your meals, bicycles, tours while you are in port are just some of the extras you get on many River Cruises. The more high end cruise-lines include everything from all of your premium beverages, a varied choice of shore excursions, exclusive experiences in port and prepaid gratuities.
Port Intensive Itineraries
A great way to see so much in a short period of time
River Cruises tend to be very port intensive. You may visit a different port each day. You may also stay in Port quite late or overnight. Enjoying a River Cruise is a great way to see a lot in a short period of time. Unlike a Coach Tour, you choose what you would like to see and do in every port. Cruising the entire length of the Rhine and Danube rivers alone exposes travelers to ten countries in Eastern and Western Europe!
AND FORGET ALL THAT PACKING AND UNPACKING!
Themed River Cruises
Wine Cruises, Christmas Market Cruises, Tulip Time or Family Cruises
Learn all about a region's wines while visiting many vineyards along the way. Spend the Christmas holidays visiting festive Christmas markets in Hungary, Austria or Germany or view the hundres of acres of Tulips during the Tulip blooming time in Benelux countries. River Cruises are not usually geared towards young children but several cruise lines add family oriented itineraries so the whole family can enjoy the rewarding benefits of a River Cruise.
