With travelers looking now more than ever for authentic experiential vacations, river cruising is a great choice.
Essentially a floating boutique hotel, river cruises provide access to smaller ports in quaint cities that large ships
cannot go. This is hands-on, experiential travel at its best…go truffle hunting, enjoy folkloric entertainment,
participate in a candy and rice paper workshop, visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites, shop in world-class cities…
the options are nearly endless. Then on board, the experience is complemented with lectures about the regions being
visited, so travelers truly get an up-close-and-personal look at the local culture and tradition.

Small is beautiful.
And that’s one of many things that sets river cruising
apart from other vacation options.
