RIVER CRUISING
Discover the comfort, convenience, and cultural diversity that can only be found along the world's most famous waterways. The intimate alternative to ocean cruising, river cruising offers travelers access to an enormous array of unusual destinations – destinations that simply can't be reached by larger cruise ships. Huge ocean liners visit mainly coastal areas (their significant size prohibiting passage to interior regions), but river cruising's svelte crafts are capable of sailing almost anywhere. Their flat-bottom designs ensure a safe, smooth journey plus effortless entry into the smaller villages, towns, and city centers that are an essential part of any vacation experience. Smaller cruise ships also allow for lots of warm and cozy atmosphere, not to mention an extra emphasis on personal service. River cruises tend to be truly all-inclusive, too (shore excursions, to name but one example, are typically included in your fare). And when it comes to convenience, a river cruise is hard to beat. You'll unpack just once, and disembarking is a breeze. Simply step off your ship – almost immediately, you'll find yourself surrounded by the abundant scenery, local charm, and historical attractions that are the hallmarks of any river cruise. Here at CruisesOnly, we recommend Uniworld's Boutique River Cruise Collection and Viking River Cruises to customers seeking the ultimate river cruising experience. Both are long-time industry leaders. The Viking brand is synonymous with historic heritage, all-inclusive value, and impeccable service. Viking boasts the world's largest fleet of river cruise ships, 20 vessels specifically built to take full advantage of European, Russian, Chinese, and Egyptian waterways. Scandinavian in design, Viking ships feature open and airy interiors throughout (so panoramic views are always assured). Onboard dining is another highlight (Viking's menus, crafted by European and celebrity chefs, combine regional specialties with classic American fare). And with at least one shore excursion available daily, passengers are guaranteed the opportunity to enjoy an in-depth cultural experience. Viking has consistently been recognized as one of the world's top cruise lines by the travel industry's most respected publications, including Condé Nast Traveler, National Geographic, and Travel Weekly. ![]()
