Fascinating River Cruises



Ocean cruises aboard dazzling floating resorts remain the bulk of my business, but many experienced cruisers are ready for more port-extensive experiences. River cruises offer fantastic opportunities to explore interior regions away from the "Seven Seas."

While sea cruises have hotel stays and tours as add-ons, river cruises long ago established a combination of land and cruising as standard, allowing extended stays in fascinating cities like Paris or Prague at either end of the river cruise.

Interior Europe remains strong, whether for Winter Markets in Central Europe, Spring Tulip Time in Holland or summer cruises to elegant cities on the Danube, but river cruises take you to more exotic locales, too. 

The fastest growing river cruise line, Ama Waterways, recently introduced cruise vacations on African safari routes to their other itineraries in Europe and on Sotheast Asia's exotic Mekong River.

Viking River Cruises has always been the leader, and with their fantastic Russia, China and Egypt itineraries long ago proved exploring exotic frontiers doesn't require roughing it.

Whether you want the pinnacles of civilization, storybook settings, or the most primative places on earth, river cruising delivers great destinations.  The perfect balance of land stays and cruising makes a perfect vacation into regions that should be on your bucket list.

Live your dreams.

Better service leads to better trips!
