River Cruise

Travel Through the Heart of a Destination

River cruising brings travelers closer to the cities, villages, vineyards and cultural landmarks that make a destination memorable.

Why Choose a River Cruise?

Unlike many ocean cruises, river cruises often dock directly in the heart of the destination. Step off the ship and you may already be within walking distance of historic neighborhoods, local markets, museums and cafés.

Popular river journeys travel through Europe along the Rhine, Danube, Rhône, Seine and Douro, while river cruises can also explore destinations in Africa, Asia, Egypt and beyond.

Smaller ships, destination-focused itineraries and included excursions make river cruising particularly appealing to travelers who want culture and convenience without constantly changing hotels.

How a Travel Advisor Helps

River cruise lines can look similar at first glance, but their inclusions, excursions, dining, ship styles and target travelers can be very different.

A travel advisor can help compare routes, cruise lines, cabin categories, included experiences, travel dates and extensions to ensure you choose the right experience.

They can also coordinate airfare and additional nights before or after your cruise.
