Closer to the destination
Step ashore easily.
Many river ships dock close to the center of the places they visit, making exploration wonderfully straightforward.
River Cruises
The journey unfolds outside your window.
River cruising offers a different kind of escape - closer to the places, the culture and the moments that matter most.
Smaller ships
A more intimate atmosphere.
With far fewer passengers than a large ocean ship, river cruising tends to feel quieter, more personal and easier to navigate.
Destination-led days
Explore almost every day.
Most itineraries are built around ports and touring rather than long stretches of time spent entirely onboard.
Scenery while sailing
The route is part of the experience.
Some of the most memorable moments happen while vineyards, villages, castles and cities drift past.
More included
Fewer decisions to make each day.
Many river-cruise fares include meals, excursions and other elements, although exactly what is included varies by line.
Easy extensions
Add a little more before or after.
River cruises pair beautifully with city stays, food and wine experiences and other tailor-made extensions.

Understanding the fare
What's included varies more than you might expect.
One river cruise may include daily excursions, drinks with meals, Wi-Fi and transfers. Another may package things differently. Comparing two fares properly means understanding the full experience rather than simply looking at the first price you see.
