About River Cruises
A River Cruise offers a unique cruise experience. Your ship is your home away from home that will take you past exciting cities, quaint villages and beautiful landscapes. One of the best things about a river cruise is that they dock right in the heart of each city that is visited putting you in the center of it all. You can choose to explore on your own or take one of the many excursions offered. Most river cruises offer a complimentary excursion in each port.
River ships are considerably smaller than ocean vessels, usually accommodating a maximum of 200 guests. The river cruise experience is intimate allowing for a truly personalized and friendly service. Cabins are spacious and feature many comfortable and luxurious amenities. Many offer floor to ceiling windows, with some even offering full balconies.
One of the most important aspects of any cruise is the incredible dining that one experiences. River cruises offer gourmet menus made with the freshest local ingredients. The culinary masterpieces highlight the many traditional specialties in each region often paired with a variety of local wines.
River cruises are offered throughout the world. In Europe you can sail on the Rhine, the Danube, the Rhone, the Douro River (Portugal), the Po River, Italy, Russia and more. Asia can be explored on the Yangtze and Mekong Rivers as well as on the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar (Burma). In Africa you can sail on the Nile or choose from a host of itineraries in Southern Africa that include the Chobe River, Kruger National Park in South Africa and the Serengeti in Kenya.
