SIX REASONS TO BOOK WITH RIVERVOYAGES.COM Your own personal River Cruise Concierge Award-winning service Exclusive discounts and benefits We take pride in exceeding service expectations We offer you the best and most knowledgeable service We’ll personalise your holiday to suit your requirements

What ocean cruisers should know about river cruises River cruising offers a very different kind of experience than ocean cruising. You’ll travel right through the heart of each destination that you visit and smaller vessels mean fewer passengers and an emphasis on attentive service. Your flights, transfers and drinks on-board are almost always included in your fare.

What to expect on a river cruise A river cruise offers a very relaxed atmosphere, with no formal dress code on-board. Dining is always a refined experience, often with menus featuring dishes from each port of call. There are always fixed shore excursions on offer but if you’d prefer to explore ashore on your own, then that’s fine too.

River cruising news 2015 is certainly an exciting year for river cruising, with plenty of new vessels meaning even more opportunity to explore some of the world’s most famous rivers.

AmaWaterways will offer more European river cruising options thanks to the launch of its two new sister ships, AmaSerena and AmaVista, which will feature not only twin balconies but a heated pool too.

Avalon Waterways is also expanding its fleet this year, with the arrival of two new luxurious Suite Ships – the Avalon Tapestry II and the Avalon Tranquility – which will offer Panorama Suite views and Open Air Balconies.

As Europe’s newest river cruise line, Emerald Waterways is building on the success of its debut season last year, introducing a new Bordeaux itinerary and announcing plans for two new ships in 2016.

Riviera Travel is introducing both the MS Charles Dickens and MS Jane Austen, which follow the chic, contemporary specifications of their predecessor MS William Shakespeare, a ship which certainly made waves with its advanced navigation equipment, stylish design and on-board gym.

Viking River Cruises will be expanding its evergrowing fleet in 2015, and is due to at least match the record it set last year, with plans for at least 14 new Longships.
