Love is in the air…along with the cool breeze as you sail from destination to destination! There’s nothing better than sitting on your private balcony watching small towns roll by as you sail the Rhine, Danube or Seine rivers or maybe you prefer the Main, Moselle or Gironde rivers? Whatever river you sail upon is sure to be a river you come to love!
River cruising in one of the best ways to truly immerse into a country. You can discover the country while inland and experience the people and culture as you walk off your longship and into the town. If you choose to sail on Viking, Avalon or AMA Waterways, an excursion is included in every port. You will explore the splendor of small towns; see the vibrant landscapes; taste the local beer, wine and food; and meet the people who have lived there for centuries.
River cruises are all year long! Choose spring for tulips, summer for vineyards, and fall/winter for the Christmas markets! Eastern Europe is bustling with culture and cuisine to please any food enthusiast! Looking for some exotic adventure? Try the Nile and explore all that Egypt has to offer; the Mekong for a Cambodia and Vietnam discovery; or Portugal’s River of Gold - the Douro!
If you don’t want to take that long flight to Europe and want to indulge in the familiar, you can delight in the charm of the Mississippi, known as “America’s Great River.” One United States river cruise includes stops in nine of America’s great states! You’re sure to find a few gems on America’s legendary shores!
Now that you know the ropes, pack your bags and get underway!
Cheers,
