River cruising is a wonderful way to experience immersive, classic destinations like Europe, Russia, China, or South America, as well as America's rivers and Alaska. Passengers can vacation with gracious service, comfortableaccommodations, and discover new and fabled places and cultures. Several lines excel in river cruising, including Amadeus Waterways, Peter Deilmann Cruises, AMAWaterays, Uniworld River Cruises and Viking River Cruises abroad, while Majestic America Line concentrates on exploring America's rivers and Alaska.
The river cruise market is becoming more popular all the time. Passengers enjoy the small ship feel with no lines; no large crowds onboard, no waiting to get on or off the ship, no need to tender into ports. And there's always something amazing to see, be it a mountain, a castle, or a wonder of the world, on either side of the ship.
River Cruises are All-Inclusive: The river cruise fare is a wonderful value including deluxe accommodations, airfare, all transfers, all meals, wine with dinner, entertainment, all shore excursions, a cruise director and tour guide, and much, much more. Not only are river cruises All-Inclusive, but the cruise fare includes the cost of all included shore excursions. With the current unfavorable exchange rate, purchasing your European vacation and all it includes in dollars is a fabulous value.
Passenger Satisfaction: The staff on river cruises is famous for going the extra mile to assure their guests are pleased. The Cruise Director, Maitre d' and purser are kno wn for their gracious and accommodating ways, and every staff member strives to please the passenger. A cruise director is always available and responsive to the passengers’ needs, resulting in a high level of passenger contentment.
Exciting New Itineraries: If you are a seasoned traveler, have experienced many of the ocean cruise staples, and are looking for unique cruise adventures, look no further than the world river cruise market. In Europe alone, there is a wide selection of river cruises that would satisfy even the most experienced cruiser. River cruises open up many countries for exploration that ocean going vessels just simply cannot get to and are available on all continents (with the exception of Antarctica, of course).
