River
Cruises |
More and more travelers are discovering the enjoyment
and convenience of a river cruise. Visit the main cities
of Europe and its less traveled corners from the deck
of a smaller river cruise boat. The rivers of France,
Germany and central Europe offer a different perspective
into the landscapes, history and culture of Europe. Just
like traditional ocean cruising, river cruises are an
ideal way to visit several countries in a short time to
discover the heart of a destination.
There's no better way to experience China's stunning landscapes,
ancient culture and unique architecture than on a Yangtze
River cruise. On a Yangtze River cruise, you'll discover
China's unique blend of ancient traditions and modern
cities, explore world treasures like the Great Wall and
visit palaces where Emperors ruled for centuries. Many
Yangtze River cruises visit Shibaozhai, home of the 12-story
temple built in 1650 that offers spectacular views of
the winding Yangtze and villages. Most Yangtze River cruises
also sail to the Three Gorges Dam, a controversial construction
project that will be the largest hydroelectric and flood-control
dam in the world.
Europe presents a variety of options for river cruising.
From the rich history of the Rhine and the Danube to the
untouched Douro that meanders through Madrid and Northern
Portugal. Glide through colorful waterways and visit many
of the gems often overlooked by other travelers. Enjoy
the atmosphere of Amsterdam. Discover the wine country
of France, the renaissance of northern Italy, the spectacular
castles along Germany's Rhine River, the romantic Danube
as it flows to Vienna and Budapest, and many other treasures
of the Old World.
Russian river cruises are also very popular. They take
you to the centre of one of the most fascinating cultures
in the world. Cruise from Moscow to St. Petersburg through
picturesque waterways. Explore medieval towns, quaint
villages, and the breathtaking scenery of a country locked
behind the Iron Curtain for most of the 20th century.
