Discover the Beauty of River Cruising
See more than you could ever imagine on a river cruise. Get up-close and personal to destinations larger ships only dream to go and become one with history, culture and refined grace. River cruising is becoming really popular and several cruise lines are ramping up to meet the demand.
Viking River Cruises® Adds 7 Longships
Viking River Cruises® grew again in 2019 with plans building an additional 7 ships. New ship Viking Helgrim will sail the Douro River in Portugal. The remaining six will sail the Rhine, Main and Danube Rivers. Their names will be Viking Einar, Viking Sigrun, Viking Sigyn, VikingTir, Viking Ullur and Viking Vali. These six ships will have Viking River Cruises' signature Longship design, carrying 190 passengers in all-outside cabins. As of July 2018, parent company Viking Cruises® operates a fleet of 62 river vessels and 6 ocean ships.
Adventures by Disney® & AMAWaterways®
Introduces Family River Cruising
Up until 2016 river cruising was predominantly a couples-only cruise vacation option. The narrow, long, 3 deck ships have cabins that were designed for double occupancy. There were a few exceptions, such as some single occupancy cabins on some AMAWaterways® vessels, made possible when additional stairways had to be added for safety.
Adventures by Disney® now offers sailings along the Danube River aboard the all-new, 170-passenger AmaViola, a river cruise ship that was custom built by AmaWaterways® with families in mind. New family-friendly design elements include specific room configurations, including six sets of connecting staterooms, as well as some rooms and suites that accommodate three- and four-person families, and other unique details that lend themselves to luxury family vacations.
Onboard activities offer something for everyone. Adults can enjoy wine tasting, music, dancing and an onboard fitness center, along with some of the finest cuisine and service available, while Junior Adventures can enjoy activity nights, movies, karaoke, relay games, life-size chess lessons, video games and more. Teens will also find activities created specifically for them.
Cruise lines are offering special promotions and pricing on popular cruises to encourage consumers to plan their next cruise vacation now. We'll be featuring promotions on our website and social media.

Avalon Waterways® Announces
More in View - More to Do
Not all river cruise cabins or ships are alike. Cruising down the Rhine & Mosselle Rivers is an amazing experience on any river cruise ship, but it's even more amazing when you can recline on your bed with your cabin's doorway open truly being immersed in your surroundings.
When it comes to exploring, all river cruises offer excursions included in the cost of your trip, but Avalon Waterways® has expanded that to include several options so that you can explore your way.
Dining on a river cruise is fabulous, with food and drinks usually sourced from local markets. Avalon Waterways® now offers several options for you to dine when and where you want during your cruise. This video explains it better than I can.

As with all cruises, you'll want to speak with a professional to determine which cruise is right for your particular vacation situation. While all the river cruise ships look alike, they all have something different to offer.
