RIVERS OF THE WORLD - RIVER CRUISES
In search of cultural engagement, culinary exploration and authentic moments, travelers are turning more and more to river cruising, the fastest-growing segment in travel today. And with good reason — the allure of river cruising appeals to both experienced travelers and first-time cruisers alike.
During your cruise, you’ll dock at the very center of quaint villages and cosmopolitan cities, allowing you to step off the boat and into history. The day is yours to explore the destination in depth, either on your own or through a wide range of included shore excursions. Back onboard, you'll have an elegant dinner inspired by the region you are sailing through, complete with complimentary, local wines, all while cruising past awe-inspiring scenery.
The entire experience is so beguiling, many people book back-to-back river cruises to explore further down the river and make the most of their time abroad. Wherever you wish to explore, there’s a river that will take you to the very heart of your destination. Read ahead for what rivers you can journey down on a river cruise.
