River cruises are extremely popular and create lasting memories because of the personalized experience they provide with exclusive access and cultural encounters along famous rivers. A river cruise can port directly in the center of places like Rome, Italy, and Budapest, Hungary. On a river cruise, meander through the countryside and the hearts of cities, getting an intimate view.
Since river cruises carry fewer passengers, the ships are able to procure local ingredients for meals, including wines, produce, meats and spices. This translates to culturally authentic food and drink, plus local entertainers and lecturers from the area can easily visit the ship and often do.
