Many of the world’s most exciting cities and attractive towns sit within easy reach of beautiful rivers which are not able to accommodate the modern day cruise liners. River cruise itineraries are wide ranging and port intensive and in most ports you can just step ashore and start exploring. See Europe’s most grand cities, iconic landmarks and charming villages as you cruise the popular Rhine, Danube and Dutch Waterways or for a more exotic experience you could sail the Yangtze River in China, the Mekong flowing through Burma, Cambodia and Vietnam, or even sail down the mighty Mississippi and explore America’s Deep South.
