RIVER CRUISES
This is more than just a vacation - it's a lavish escape for the discerning traveler who demands nothing but the best.
Escape for a moment as you gaze on lush landscapes, lovely vineyards, or lively locales from the peaceful, open-air upper deck of the vessel. Take in the fresh air and be ready for an invigorating experience—one your senses will never forget. Prepare to be pampered like royalty as you sail through some of the world’s most stunning scenery. Savor delectable cuisine paired with the perfect wine. Immerse yourself in the local culture by attending a cooking class in Slovakia, a Mozart concert in Austria, a cheese tasting with a cheese affineur in Germany, a tour of Mother Teresa’s home in India, or an exciting tuk tuk ride in Cambodia.
One may be inclined to believe that river cruising is based solely in Europe, but this is a common fallacy. River cruises are also available in so many other desirable destinations. One might embark on the Nile River to view the ancient wonders of Egypt, explore Earth's largest rainforest on the Amazon River to immerse yourself in Mother Nature's Cradle of Life, pair up a life-changing safari with a cruise on the Chobe River in Botswana, cruise the Mekong River in Cambodia and take a tour of Angkor Wat and the nearby temples, or dive into Indian culture by visiting rural villages and hidden temples on the Ganges River. The options are endless.
