River Cruise Holidays September 2023 IG

Why river cruises is becoming popular

River cruising provides an intimate way of getting to the heart of a country, where the scenery envelops you rather than rushes past. Step on board and embark upon a waterway voyage through the heart of your chosen destination, taking the opportunity to delve behind the façade of a place, revealing glimpses at the heart of life in towns and villages as your river cruise slips silently by. As a holiday option each day brings with it a new destination allowing you to enjoy the outstanding attentive service, all-inclusive features and convenience of docking in the very centre of the world’s greatest cities, often just a short walk into the heart of local attractions. River cruise ships are much smaller than ocean ships so personalized service is key. Rarely do the ships cater for more than 100 guests at a time. Cabins offer a view of the river and are generally all similar in size and spread across two or three decks, perfect for enjoying the picturesque views as you sail down some of the most iconic rivers in the world. Some ships even offer larger suites, complete with butler

service. It's worth bearing in mind that passengers usually don't spend much time in their cabin as days are filled with shore excursions, relaxing on the sun deck, or joining fellow guests in the central lounge and bar. Enjoy a guided group walking tour or take a cycling trip using the company's onboard bicycles; as well as exercise and yoga sessions on deck. Nighttime entertainment is low-key and usually comprises local musicians and quizzes. Some vessels have a plunge pool on the sundeck or indoors at the stern. Delve into the steep history and culture of Europe with a trip down the Rhine, the Danube or the Siene or voyage on an authentic steamboat experience with plenty of southern charm with a trip on the Mississippi. Journey along the mystical Mekong, through the sacred waters of the Ganges or experience the Amazon, which is possibly the most rewarding nature expedition in the world.
