river cruise
Floating scenic tour
A river cruise is a leisure voyage along an inland waterway, typically on a smaller vessel than ocean cruises.
River cruises navigate rivers like the Rhine, Danube, or Mississippi, stopping at ports along the way: We took a river cruise through the French wine country.
The format emphasizes scenery and cultural excursions over onboard entertainment.
