Unlike ocean cruises, rivers provide easy access to city centers. Passengers sail directly into the heart of every destination and dock in the middle of town, then walk right off the ship and move easily into whatever city or town they are visiting. And because most river ships accommodate only 30 to 200 guests, it is easier to meet your traveling companions, leading to a more personal and exclusive traveling experience. Perhaps most importantly, many lines have begun adding amenities previously restricted to ocean cruise lines, such as French balconies attached to the rooms.
