River Cruising
The world's great rivers are watery superhighways just waiting to be explored. River cruising is a laidback, romantic and relaxing way to see the sights, from the fairytale castles of the Rhine to the ancient monuments of the Nile, while having everything taken care of for you and mingling with like-minded people.
On a river cruise, you can relax on a deck chair while taking in picturesque scenery, dine well and sleep in comfortable cabins on board and enjoy stopovers in fascinating ports of call along the way.
In Europe, popular river cruises glide along the Rhine, Rhone, Saone, Seine. Mosel, Elbe and Douro Rivers. Other popular river cruises are along the Nile in Egypt, the Volga in Russia, the Yangtze in China, the Mekong in South East Asia and the Amazon in Brazil. In North America, river cruises are available along the Columbia River in Oregon and the St Lawrence Seaway and Saguenay River in Canada.
Here in Australia, a wonderful river cruising experience is by historic paddle steamer along the mighty Murray River.
