River Boat Cruising

Danube River in Austria

RIVERBOAT CRUISES

Europe, Asia, South America

If you envision cruising in a vessel with less than 200 passengers, visiting ports of call that include both large cities and small villages, stepping off the ship in the midst of a town or city, then riverboat cruising is an adventure vacation option you will want to consider.

I recently had the opportunity to experience a riverboat cruise on the Danube River. During my cruise I toured large and small ports of call from Budapest to Vienna and beyond. Riverboat Cruising is a relaxing mode of travel where you can pick and choose what you would like to experience in each destination, enjoy local cuisine, and engage in conversation with all your fellow passengers.

• I can assist you in selecting the riverboat cruise itinerary that would benefit your family interests. There are riverboat cruises available in select destinations in Europe, Asia, and South America. In each of these countries the itineraries include popular points of interest and smaller ports of call that are unique and have a charm of their own.

• There are numerous riverboat cruise lines as options that fit each family budget. Most include select excursions with the option to purchase additional excursions. I can assist you in determining which riverboat cruise line would best suit your family interests.

• If a theme cruise such as wine, literary, historical, or an active experience then I can advise you in selecting a cruise that will match your interests. There are ships that have yoga classes on board, an early morning jog, hiking in the foothills over the Danube, or biking through cities and rural pathways.

• Other excursions such a cooking classes, walking tours through villages with expert local guides, touring military sites such as Normandy, and numerous other options are available. If you like to tour on your own, you and your family can discover cities and villages at your own pace.

Once you begin riverboat cruising, you will want to plan that next riverboat adventure.
