5 Reasons to Try a River Cruise

River cruising lets you see multiple, memorable destinations during one trip. Offered by companies like Disney, Viking, AmaWaterways, Avalon, UniWorld, and Tauck, read on for 5 reasons you should consider a river cruise for your next vacation!

See Multiple Destinations

 See multiple destinations, and see cities you wouldn’t be able to see on an ocean cruise. Plus, since your river cruise ship is your hotel, you don’t have to worry about unpacking and repacking every couple days like you do on a land tour when you switch hotels.

More is Included

At least one shore excursion is included at each port, letting you make the most of your time in each city. All dining is included, and WiFi is included so you can keep up with your loved ones back home. Plus everyone gets an exterior stateroom with a window or balcony to enjoy the beautiful views.

It’s For Everyone

Gone are the days when river cruising was only for the older generations. River cruise lines are friendly to every age group with plenty of activities and excursions to choose from. Cruise lines like Viking and Disney even offer connecting staterooms to make it easier for families to travel together! (Adventures by Disney uses AmaWaterways ships.)

Smaller Ships

River cruise ships are much smaller than ocean cruise ships so they can fit through narrow waterways. With smaller ships you can get to know your fellow passengers better, have more personal service from the cruise line employees, and enjoy some peace and quiet when desired.

Smoother Sailing

If you get nauseous sailing in the ocean, you can breathe easy. Rivers have much smoother waters than oceans do, and the flat-bottomed design of the ships contribute to the smoother ride.
