Europe and Russia’s numerous rivers: Rhine, Main, Moselle, Danube, Elbe, Seine and Volga are full of great history. River cruises are an ideal way to explore all that Europe offers, with visits to quaint villages, historic museums and castles, and the enchantment of the Old World.
Walk through an open air architecture museum in the middle of a Russian lake; watch the artists at work in a Meissen porcelainware studio; contemplate the Yangtze from an ancient stone temple beside the river. Such unforgettable experiences can be yours on a river cruise—and you are unlikely to reach these places any other way.
A river cruise brings you to the heart of the destination.
Historic cities and towns like Amsterdam, Budapest, Vienna, Paris, and Moscow are some of the most popular destination to cruise in Europe and Russia. For those looking for more exotic locations there are more river cruise options in Egypt, Asia, and South America.

River cruising—a better way to explore. The new “cool” in cruising
River cruising is, quite simply, the best way to travel through many of the world’s most fascinating places.
Comfortable, convenient and safe, it offers a greater variety of destinations than you could not encounter any other way—and lets you get in-depth exposure to the culture and history of each region. Both experienced and first-time travelers have discovered the joys of river cruising, making it the fastest-growing segment of the cruising industry.
Also known as “boutique cruising,” the most popular North America cruise brands are: AMAWaterways, Avalon, Uniword and Viking River Cruises.
River cruising offers a more intimate experience compared to mass market cruise ships.
Because River ships are designed to accommodate between 150 and 300 guests ( most being 150-185), it is easy to make new friends, share a drink with the couple you met on the day’s tour, or dine with interesting people in the open-seating restaurant.
