River cruising is an increasingly popular vacation option for travelers
who enjoy the convenience and comfort of cruising, but wish to travel
to locations inaccessible by a large cruise ship. These specially
designed river ships and cruise barges – usually built to carry fewer
than 200 passengers – take guests through the heartland of a nation for
an unparalleled travel experience.
While some river ships lack the variety of onboard features and
amenities found on larger oceangoing vessels, they make up for it with
port-intensive itineraries. Plus, river cruise itineraries often focus
on smaller towns and villages, offering a more personal and in-depth
experience within a region. It's also not uncommon for river cruises to
package shore excursions, such as guided tours, in the regular cruise
fare.

 There’s
no better way to experience Russia and Ukraine than by river. With a
Russian river cruise, travelers will discover the rich cultures of
Moscow and St. Petersburg while also taking time to explore a
completely different side of Russia: the enormous lakes, secluded
islands and quaint lifestyles scattered along the shores of the Volga
River. Or, for a different experience, traverse Ukraine by way of the
Dnieper River to view historic cathedrals, monasteries and monuments.
Either way, river cruisers will be immersed in the people who personify
the heart of these proud nations.

of Egypt since many of the country’s cities developed along the Nile,

Only
river cruising lets guests cruise upon the shallower, less-explored
regions of the mighty Amazon River. In contrast to most river cruises,
Amazon River cruise itineraries often spend little time ashore as the
focus of the voyage is usually directed upon the river itself. However,
when the river ships do make port, popular shore excursions include
rainforest expeditions and hikes through local villages. [Learn more about river cruises in South America]
