The River Cruise Experience

Gliding along the river in a stylish ship accommodating no more than 160 passengers, while enjoying the views, sipping delicious cocktails, and savoring farm-to-table cuisine, represents the pinnacle of luxury!

At every port, each river cruise company offers its own unique set of excursions, allowing travelers to revisit the same itinerary while enjoying different experiences over and over. Availability of bikes for tours or independent use is commonplace with most river cruise companies. Onboard and self led time include a mixture of entertainment, lectures, enrichment activities and self led exploration by foot or bicycle.

River cruises are essentially moving luxury hotels allowing passengers to enjoy each day they way they choose. Waking in a new destination each morning and departing just in time for sunset and cocktails prior to dinner, or later in the evening affords full day of exploration. This can be through the multitude of guided tours or at ones’ own pace. Immersive experiences led by well-educated local guides foster culturally enriching memories that can be treasured for a lifetime.

River cruising offers every amenity, from wellness classes led by personal fitness instructors, to spa experiences and in many cases pools, hot tubs, hair & nail services. The top decks are flat & accommodating to walkers, loungers and a variety of fun activities such as chess and even pickleball on some ships!!!

Unlike ocean cruises, it is hard to tell one is on a boat when sailing the rivers because the movement is barely perceptible other than the passing scenery. The interior design and staterooms are tastefully decorated creating an ambiance of chic sophistication and relaxation..

The Luxury Ocean Cruise Experience

Luxury Small Ship • Yacht Cruising

As a matter of fact, many passengers do just that, not for week long vacation but for months long journeys like the World Cruises.  A large majority of passengers enjoy the world cruises year after year because the itinerary will change annually, allowing for exploration to new parts of each continent over the course of years.

Golf carts parked on a deck with artificial grass, against a backdrop of the ocean and clouds, with a shaded area and a staircase nearby.

These beautiful spacious yachts are relatively small compared to the large cruise ships, they can port at smaller, more beautiful and desirable locations.  Many itineraries, like a river cruise, stop at charming little villages or different islands each day allowing for optimal exploration.  No worries for those who love to relax and enjoy all that the ship has to offer because there are ample itineraries that include “sea days” as well.

Like a river cruise, these ships have relatively large amount of space per passenger so there is never the need to worry about getting a lounger by the poolside or concern for crowds anywhere on the ship.  The finest of the ships not only are gorgeous with meticulous attention to detail at every lever,  but Butler service & all balcony staterooms.

Once enjoyed, it is hard to resist cruising this way over and over again.  You may wonder why, it is because these cruises are so wonderful that everything one could want is available at the highest imaginable level of service.

The options on-board abound- include everything from Broadway style entertainment, parties, piano bars, disco, to fitness classes, golf lessons, ping pong, dancing ( + partners if needed!), game rooms, library, lounges, pools, hot tubs, track and more.  It is essentially a up-scale indulgence at every level to meet any whim.

With at least a 1:1 ration of crew to guest, it is commonplace to have the staff refresh your drink or bring a dry towel without even asking.  There is need for nothing.  There are typically just enough people around for a nice conversation if desired but ample space to hide away on your own when needed.
