Have you ever considered a river cruise?
Ama Waterways, Avalon Waterways, Viking River Cruises and G Adventures. Four amazing ways to have a small ship experience! YAY! 🚢
Now is a great time to take that river cruise you have always been dreaming about (or maybe I will make you start dreaming about it!).
There are so many great reasons to take a river cruise:
small ships and small capacity! Most river cruises carry less than 200 passengers meaning no crowds! YAY! Think of a boutique hotel that moves with you.
they take you to the heart of the destinations. Throughout history, waterways have always been important places. River cruises take you right into the action often docking in the heart of cities like Budapest.
they are nearly All-Inclusive! Most food, beverages and excursions are included. No surprises at the end.
they can be as LUXE or as relaxed as you want. River cruises are not just for fans of tuxedos and ball gowns. There are options for everyone including families, active adventures and those just seeking a relaxing and culturally rich experience. Do you want to don your fanciest attire? There is a river cruise for that too!
There are a lot of options for river cruises and it can be a bit overwhelming. Don't fret though, I have you covered.
I handpicked four amazing river cruise companies and four amazing offers to get you dreaming about this amazing form of travel.
