River Cruise Tips and Advice from Our Specialists

Attend all of the informational sessions/lectures offered onboard. They are extremely interesting and give you valuable information on the areas you are visiting. There is no additional cost for these and you don’t have to spend the time reading a book to gain this knowledge!
–Alana Magestro, Travel Specialist

On Spring and Fall cruises, pack a couple of scarves (men & women). They add a little extra warmth if needed and are very fashionable in Europe.
-Colleen Alsberg, Tour Manager

Read about and research every port of call on your river cruise itinerary, it will help you make the best of your free time. I also recommend trying the local specialties along the way I will never forget the beer or sausage in Austria.
–Sue Mischler, Travel Specialist.

The check-in procedure is so easy compared to big ship check-in. You can arrive at 11:00 am, and get right on and check-in. I highly recommend river cruising as a new experience for those who enjoy big ship cruising!
–Kathi Madison, Travel Specialist

If possible, leave a day or two early so you are acclimated to the time zone and not tired when you start your cruise.

THE DANUBE

Spanning across all of Central and Eastern Europe, the Danube passes through 10 countries and 4 capital cities. Just imagine the unique experience of sampling the wonderful diversity of food, architecture, history and traditions that you’ll discover along the way. A Danube cruise brings you an East-meets-West experience unlike any other river can.

THE MAIN

Quaint. Quiet. Quintessential Germany. That’s what a Main cruise delivers. The river takes its time winding leisurely through some of Germany’s most visually stunning regions. And along the way, it passes by everything that embodies Europe’s charm – medieval villages, fabled forests, and hilltop castles and churches.

THE RHINE

Winding through some of the most picturesque landscapes in Europe – the Rhine is known as the romantic river. Think hillsides dotted with castles and fortresses, cobblestoned medieval villages, cuckoo clocks, and the legendary Black Forrest – the setting of the fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm.

THE MOSELLE

As your cruise enters the Moselle, the Rhine’s peaceful little sister, you’ll be met with a picturesque setting that’s one of the best-kept secrets in Europe. The river is also an absolute must for anyone with an appreciation of wine. Lush vineyards line the hillside banks, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to sample the local vintages.

THE SEINE

A journey down the Seine features two of the primary reasons visitors are drawn to France – art and history. Historians will take a trip back in time as they sail, enjoying glimpses far back into antiquity, the Middle Ages, and even the most critical moments of World War II. Art lovers will be equally thrilled, seeing firsthand both the works and the inspiration of France’s most celebrated artists.

THE RHÔNE AND SAÔNE

Famous wines, rich cuisine and breathtaking beauty. A cruise from Burgundy to Provence along the Rhône and Saône Rivers combines them all – creating the perfect indulgence for all your senses. This is perhaps the most famous wine-making region in the world, home to Chardonnay and Beaujolais wines.

THE YANGTZE

Travel to China, and you feel like you’re stealing a glimpse of another world. The country’s diverse landscapes and ancient traditions are nothing short of mystical. Take in Beijing’s Forbidden City, the mammoth Great Wall or the mesmerizing Terracotta Warriors of Xi’an. Or see spectacular Shanghai, Tibet and Hong Kong.

THE NILE

A journey along the Nile river takes you back to the beginnings of civilization itself, flowing past 5,000 years of history, along the fertile soil that birthed the Pharaohs and allowed one of the world’s greatest cultures to thrive.

THE GALÁPAGOS

For nature lovers, a visit to the extraordinary Galápagos Islands is an absolute must. The remarkable flora and fauna waiting to be discovered are some of the most pristine and unaffected on Earth. Made famous as the inspiration for Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, the 13 volcanic-rock islands offer a one-of-a-kind opportunity for travelers.

THE AMAZON

Embark on a journey to one of the world’s vastly unexplored regions, the mighty Amazon. Experience the Amazon wilderness where it originates in Peru. The Amazon Basin covers an area larger than Western Europe, but it’s in Peru’s Amazon where biodiversity is at its greatest and the rainforest is untamed.

THE MEKONG

Making its way from the mountain plateaus of Tibet to the South China Sea, the Mekong river is the common thread that connects Southeast Asia’s tapestry of colorful cultures. Explorers will delight in the mix of languages, lifestyles and traditions.
