River Cruise
A river cruise is a tour that uses a small, luxury river ship as your transportation between cities. River cruises are known for being all inclusive, luxurious and relaxing. Travelers love that you only have unpack and pack one time and that all of your meals, and most of your sightseeing and excursions are included. Most river cruises sail at night so you will wake up in a new city every morning. Usually, a local guide conducts a tour in the morning and then you will have the rest of the afternoon to explore on your own or go on an optional tour. Most river cruise ships accommodate about 120 guests and can range from relaxing to active. The most popular river cruise destination is Europe, with a wide variety of itineraries on the Rhine and Danube River. River cruises also take place in Asia, Africa, Russia, South America and more.
