In fact, river cruising is widely overlooked by Americans when planning their vacations to the European Continent. The advantages of river cruising are being able to sit back, relax, watch and enjoy all of beautiful country side as you float by. River cruising gives you a different prospective than that of a bus or train tour. Imagine seeing the tulip fields in Holland, the castles on the Rhine, or wine country in France. Your pace on board a river cruise is low key. Why travel on a crowded bus or train when you can sit in the luxurious surrounding of your own stateroom and view the best of what Europe has to offer.
European River Cruises itineraries start from day trips to 7 to 34 days excursions or longer depending on your vacation schedule. Most river cruises run all year long. Also, European river cruises are designed with the American tourist in mind. Your will find they offer traditional European cuisine as well as comfort food to fit your American taste.

River cruises generally are not recommended for families with children under the age of twelve.
