River Cruising in Europe and Asia

By guest blogger Steve Newman

In the last five years, River Cruising has increased in popularity tremendously. So much so that is now the automatic choice for many people planning a luxury European holiday. And, if you think about it you can completely understand why.

Combining the history and culture of rivers, towns and cities with practically the ultimate in relaxation, they offer a sedate and enjoyable way to explore an area whilst on holiday. Leading the way and recognised as one of the top players in this market is AMA Waterways.

The company’s fares include all meals, excursions, Internet/Satellite connection in every cabin, and quality wines and beer with every Dinner. Add open seating amidst elegant yet comfortable surroundings, a Grand Panorama Lounge with bar and dance floor, and aft lounge for up to 50 passengers, and you can see why people come back time and time again.

AMA's ships really are something else and it’s quite true to say you would be forgiven for thinking the interiors had been plucked from some grand hotel. You even have the chance to use their complimentary bicycles to explore the towns and cities on your own.

Opportunities exist to travel along the famous rivers of Europe, such as the Rhine and Danube, and also to explore the countryside of Portugal and Provence as you gently drift by. Cities like Lyons, Budapest, Vienna and Amsterdam are all able to be visited. To the north, why not take in a cruise from Moscow to St Petersburg and explore that city’s canals and the wonder that is The Hermitage?

Due to the company expanding its routes, you also now have the chance to explore the mighty Mekong as it flows through Vietnam and Cambodia. Ancient temples, villages and floating markets are all untouched by time on this fascinating journey.

Sixteen and eight-day options are available, both finishing at Ho Chi Minh City. Either way, what you have here is a company offering river-cruise opulence, the highest levels of service and wonderful memories that will stay with you forever.
