River Cruises
River cruises are similar to guided tours in that the itineraries are prearranged and your accommodations, meals, transportation and sightseeing are included for one attractive price. However, instead of traveling via motorcoach between stops and staying in hotels, you'll cruise on a well-appointed ship that docks in towns along major waterways. Note that some trips also feature hotel stays before or after the cruise.
On board, you’ll unpack only once, as your stateroom will be your home for the duration of the cruise. When traveling from each place to the next, enjoy magnificent views from the ship and take advantage of the vessel’s modern amenities. When you disembark, you’ll have convenient access to all the must-see attractions. Plus, a professional tour or cruise director will be on hand to help make your experience enriching and worry-free.
While river cruises are highly inclusive in general, the number and quality of included features vary based on the rating that we provide for each vacation listed on this site.
