river cruises
Scenic boat trips
River cruises are vacation trips aboard passenger vessels traveling along rivers rather than open seas.
Unlike ocean cruises, they feature smaller ships navigating inland waterways, often stopping at historic cities and scenic regions: a river cruise down the Danube, Rhine river cruises through wine country.
The format emphasizes cultural immersion and calm waters over shipboard entertainment.
