What The Heck Is A River Cruise?

What The Heck Is A River Cruise?
In the last few years, river cruising has become the preferred form of travel for people all over the world. Many say that river cruise vessels resemble floating hotels.

River cruise staterooms can compete with world class hotel rooms featuring comfortable, luxurious accommodations such as down duvets, flat panel TVs, marble appointed bathrooms, complimentary internet access and much more.

Best of all, you unpack only once!  For the duration of your cruise, your cabin is your home, providing plenty of storage space for you to feel settled and comfortable.  Your river cruise will be both relaxing and exciting, giving you an authentic experience in the countries you visit.  You will enjoy scenic cruising from your stateroom, dining room, lounge, sun deck and even the onboard gym.  The ships often dock in the heart of cities, allowing for leisurely strolls into town.

A river cruise differs significantly from an ocean cruise experience: no seasickness, no gambling casinos or Vegas shows.  Instead you have evening entertainment with an emphasis on the region you will be visiting.  A small group of approximately 140 passengers provides a much more intimate and interactive setting than that of the 1000+ passengers many ocean lines carry.
