Why Travelers Switch to the Rivers

1The Hotel Follows YouUnpack once and wake up somewhere new every morning, docked in the middle of town rather than a port terminal an hour away.
2Small by DesignRiver ships carry one to two hundred guests, so there are no lines, no crowds, and a crew that learns your name by day two.
3Shore Time Every DayThere are no sea days on a river. Nearly every day includes hours ashore, and most lines include guided excursions in the fare.
4The Scenery Never StopsCastles, vineyards, and villages slide past the window all day. The sailing itself is the excursion.
