Where will your next River Cruise Take you?

On a river cruise there is something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing break or an immersive getaway exploring in the heart of each destination, you can have it all on board a river cruise. With plenty of excursions and on board entertainment make your next holiday a river cruise.

Top 5 reasons

‘River Cruising’ is so popular…

1

The Views & Destinations

The ever changing landscape allows you to encounter awe-inspiring mountain ranges, lush vineyards, bustling cities and fairy-tale castles.

You will be docked in the heart of the city, allowing you to either join an escorted excursion or be totally independent and explore the city.

2

Unpack Only Once Your cabin is your home away from home and the river cruise ship is your own floating hotel.

Itineraries can range from three to 21 nights.

3 4

All-Inclusive Pricing

River Cruising offers various options for all budgets.

A river cruise holiday offers your flights or rail, overseas transfers, accommodation in your selected grade of stateroom or Suite, and all meals. A number of companies also include drinks, excursions, entry tickets, port fees and often tipping.

Intimate & Relaxing River cruises offer a relaxed and intimate atmosphere, with most river cruise ships accommodating a maximum of 150 passengers. With various different dining experiences and social areas on offer, there is guaranteed to be something to suit everyone. It can sometimes feel as if the whole experience has been laid on just for you.

INTRODUCING THE PANDAW EXPERIENCE The Pandaw experience is all about exploring remote and often hard-to-navigate rivers in specially-designed luxury small ships. Each ship, hand-crafted in brass and teak, is an object of beauty in itself. A Pandaw adventure is very different from that offered on an oceangoing cruise. The ships are small scale, and the atmosphere is informal and very friendly.

While the craft may be small, Pandaw has the highest passenger-to-deck- space ratio of any cruise ship afloat. There are plenty of quiet spots to be discovered where you can read a book, write your travel journal, or simply meditate on the spectacular passing landscape or chat with like-minded travellers friends old and new. Pandaw designs its ships with 360-degree promenade decks that allow its passengers the freedom to interact as much, or as little, as they like. It all adds to the famous ‘Pandaw spirit’ that brings so many guests back onboard time and time again.

Many passengers have described life on board a Pandaw cruise as more like being a guest on a private motor yacht, than a passenger on a conventional cruise ship. For a start, their itineraries and quest for the most spectacular sights and experiences are far more intrepid than conventional cruises. And when passengers return to the ship after experiencing the wonders of life onshore, they are coming back to a floating oasis of low-key luxury, caring service and all the good things of life.

River Cruising, American Style American Cruise Lines offers the finest U.S. River Cruises available.

You can choose from a variety of riverboat cruise options to find the one that’s right for you.
