ublime scenery, fabulous food, cozy camaraderie and stroll-offthe-ship access to some of the most intriguing ports on the planet— it’s no wonder river cruising is the world’s fastest-growing travel trend. With the increasing popularity of river cruising, there’s a whole new travel trend emerging, says Ashley Petten, LeGrow’s Travel counsellor, Atlantic Place, St. John’s. “New destinations, athletic adventures and experiential itineraries are the hot new trends in river cruising,” she says. “Rather than appealing solely to more seasoned travellers, river cruises have evolved to entice passengers from every demographic.” LeGrow’s Travel counsellors have been sailing on more river cruise lines
than we can count. Count on them to point you in the right direction when it comes to the best river cruise for you.
Here’s a quick snapshot of some of our favourite cruise lines and itineraries.

“Cruise along the mighty Mekong through Vietnam and Cambodia and visit rural villages, historic pagodas, and local markets and get a glimpse into another era where people still honour the timeless traditions passed down through the centuries from their ancestors. This is one of my favourite itineraries!” Recommended for you by
Rosarii Farrell
Churchill Square, St. John’s 709-758-6788 rfarrell@legrowstravel.ca
One of Asia’s least developed rivers, the Mekong teams with life, boasting a biodiversity second only to the Amazon. Unlike river cruises that sail past European capitals, the route through Vietnam and Cambodia offers stunning contrasts of ancient landscapes, bustling towns and rural river villages.

Exceptional Adventures— Iceland and Peru FOR YOUR BUCKET LIST: NORTHERN LIGHTS OF ICELAND WITH TRAFALGAR “Iceland is quite simply astonishing. It’s a country of extreme contrasts and aptly named the ‘land of fire and ice’, with some of the largest glaciers in Europe and some of the world’s most active volcanoes. The best time of year to see the Northern Lights is during the winter months, when offseason deals are at their best.” Recommended for you by
