Experience the Hottest Trend in River Cruising

Experience the Hottest Trend in River Cruising There's something particularly special about embarking on a river cruise; travelers are able to enjoy the beautiful scenery unique to the water, and people are able to drop all of the stress on their shoulders and finally relax. Now it's possible to add another dimension to the experience by taking a theme cruise. It's the hottest trend on rivers across the world right now, and for good reason.

European River Cruises with Flair With its captivating history and alluring culture, it's no surprise that the Danube is such a popular and romantic choice. Imagine starting with three nights in majestic Prague followed by a river journey from Vilshofen to Budapest. The trip totals 11 nights, with amazing excursions like tours of the Austrian Lake District, castle visits, and optional concerts featuring the music of Mozart and Strauss. The option to add a chocolate theme to your trip, enjoying the sweets as you go, is a choice that never seems to disappoint.

Wine and Beer Adventures For those who love to experience fine wine direct from the source, there's nothing like a wine cruise. Picture a seven night cruise on the Seine toward Normandy, with two nights in Paris to wrap things up. Other options include the Douro River in Portugal and Spain, the mighty Rhine, and an itinerary that begins in Barcelona and ends in Paris. Take in the amazing sights while learning about the wines of the region from an expert. You might have to do plenty of tasting along the way, too.

For those who would rather sip a cold beer than let their wine breathe, there are journeys built around that, as well. The Tulip Time Cruise is a springtime round trip journey out of Amsterdam that travels through the Netherlands and Belgium. Your expert beer guide will inform you about traditional techniques for brewing while you enjoy tastings and fun excursions.

Art, Music, Heritage Other theme offerings include the Art Cruise, which visits Paris and Normandy. It stops at Monet's home in Giverny, and also makes a side trip to the historic beaches that commemorate the D-Day invasion.

A jazz-themed sailing trip on the Danube will take fans on a 12-day voyage of discovery that features cities like Vienna, Budapest, Nuremberg, and Prague. For music lovers, the Melodies of the Danube cruise is a journey through the musical styles that have helped define the cities and towns along the way.

You can even explore Jewish influence and history on one of the Jewish Heritage journeys.

Discover the rich traditions along the Rhine or the Danube and be sure to include options like bike tours or castle excursions.
