Accessing remote riverside towns and small-scale ports, river cruising is fast becoming the most sought-after way to travel for those in the know. Small ship river cruises allow you to navigate inland waterways and dock directly in the heart of cities and towns, giving you more time to explore and an intimate perspective on your destination.
Enjoy gourmet onboard dining featuring locally sourced ingredients while being entertainment by talented classical musicians or traditional folk dancers, combined with daily shore excursions and walking tours led by local guides. You can still take advantage of all the perks you’ve come to expect of cruising, with a more personal atmosphere thanks to far fewer passengers.
Whether it’s exploring the historically-rich towns that line the Danube or cruising directly into the heart of Paris along the River Seine, Europe is a classic river cruising destination. Equally appealing is discovering Asia from the water, with multi-day cruises taking in the remote villages of China’s Yangtze River and the storied landscapes of Myanmar’s Irrawaddy Delta. Experience the sights, sounds and smells of the mighty Mekong or enjoy a relaxing perspective on the jewels of India.
