River Cruises

There are cruises aplenty that sail the oceans and seas of the world but cruises across rivers are fast becoming a trend among travellers. If you prefer to set sail solo, a river cruise is the best option. At a solo river cruise, individual travellers can enjoy travelling and meet some great people on board. With open-seat dining at large tables, you can interact with other travellers and end up making some new friends.
River cruise liners, unlike ocean liners, are smaller and tend to offer a capacity of fewer than 200 persons. Although river cruise liners are not all loud on entertainment, they too offer fine dining onboard restaurants, sun decks, a fitness center, a spa, swimming pools and immersive destination experiences.

You will find river cruises across the waterways of Europe, Asia and the United States. Watch for scenic beauties all along your voyage. River voyages enjoy more stops along their journey with night stays at prestigious hotels in the cities the ships have docked. This means river cruises focus more on shore excursions with busy sightseeing schedules. While bigger cruise ships restrict sightseeing to coastal cities and areas, river cruises allow you to get closer to the heart of the countries.
In river cruises, you will often find the cost of shore excursions included in the overall cruise fare. Many cruises offer low or no solo supplement deals on selected sailings. Furthermore, solo travelers suffering from sea sickness can be at ease with the calmer inland waterways.
