Everyone who goes on a river cruise returns praising it as an all time favorite trip. You're never far from shore, so the views are amazing from the ship. You visit the inland areas that large cruise ships can't reach, so you enjoy many new and unique ports. Unlike most ocean cruises, your shore excursions will usually be included with the cruise price.
You travel with about 100 to 200 people, many of whom will become close friends by the end of your voyage, but bringing friends and family with you always makes it extra special. Some have described time aboard the ship on a river cruise as a floating happy hour. You become very familiar with your servers and guides, many of whom are citizens of the areas you visit and all of whom have intimate knowledge of what you should see.
Europe and Russia will most likely be your first river cruise destination, but Asia also has great destinations, including China. The hottest new destination is Vietnam and Camobdia, cruising down the Mekong River in a way far removed from the way our soldiers saw it 40 years ago. Another terrific river cruise destination is Egypt.
Frequently, these cruises are paired with land stays at very attractive cruise tour pricing. Sometimes you may be able to get free or reduced price air as an early booking advantage on select dates. In any case, a river cruise always delivers great value for your vacation dollar.
