Why A Riverboat Cruise Vacation: If you like getting out on the water but a traditional ocean cruise is not to your liking; maybe a river cruise is the vacation idea you are looking for.

Watch from the deck or your cabin window as the countryside flows by. When the ship docks, the city is right there at your feet – Prague, Paris, Amsterdam, Kiev, Shanghai – ready to be explored.
A river cruise ship is smaller and more intimate than their ocean-going counterparts. There are still things to do onboard - Lectures, demonstrations, theme dinners, libraries, fitness centers, spas. Often there may be music and dance performances by local artists.
