River cruises are a type of travel experience that takes place on rivers, allowing passengers to explore various destinations along the waterway. These cruises typically feature comfortable accommodations, dining options, and guided excursions to nearby attractions. Popular rivers for cruising include the Danube, Rhine, and Amazon. Unlike ocean cruises, river cruises offer a more intimate atmosphere, often with fewer passengers and smaller ships. Travelers can enjoy scenic views of landscapes, towns, and cities from the deck while visiting multiple locations without the need to pack and unpack frequently.
