Everything about River Cruise totally explained
A
River cruise is a voyage along inland waterways, often stopping at port.
River cruise ships are smaller than ocean-going
cruise ships, typically holding 90-240 passengers (though there are ships that take only 5 passengers, and others can carry 1,000 passengers). Due to their smaller size and low draft, river cruise ships can go where ocean cruise ships cannot, and sometimes to where no other transport is practical: rivers are an excellent way to reach some attractions, for example in
Russia and
China.
During river cruises the countryside is usually in view, so they're especially relaxing to those who prefer land nearby. River cruises usually last from 7 to 15 days.
Some river ships resemble five stars hotels, with sun decks, dining rooms, lounges, fitness facilities, swimming pools, casinos and other entertainment. Accommodation, meals onboard, entertainment and special events (holidays, festivals, contests, concerts, etc.) are usually included in the cruise price while bar expenses, sauna, massage, laundry and cleaning, and phone calls are not.
Most cruises have a variety of onboard and offboard activities. The latter include guided tours to historic and cultural sites, visiting local attractions, museums and galleries, and other points of interest. Guides give a running commentary while sailing.
Popular river cruises include trips along the
Nile, the
Mississippi, the
Yangtze, the
Mekong, the
Danube, the
Rhine, the
Seine, or the
Volga. There are several dozen river cruise companies each with 1 to 20 ships.
