 Last year, Disney tied up with AmaWaterways to provide a river cruising experience like no other to families all over the world. There are only a few lines who could claim that they are “family-friendly” and AmaWaterways is one of them. Couple this with Adventures by Disney, and what we have is a European family getaway that’s definitely one of the books! Here are the special sailings that you can choose from: Rhine River Cruise This adventure is an 8day/7night getaway to six top-notch destinations in France, Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. It’s an all-inclusive deal that you can customize to make sure that it’s fun for the whole family. The highlights of the tour include tobogganing, hiking, and zip-lining at the Black Forest, indoor and outdoor skiing fun in Germany, a tour of the Heidelberg Castle, Dutch cheese-making tours, and a canoe trip in the Alsace Region. If you’re traveling with kids, we’re sure they will have a blast at the chocolate-making workshop!   Amsterdam Rhine River Cruise Extension If you had so much fun during your Rhine River Cruise, why don’t you extend it and spend two more days in Amsterdam? A night at Doubletree by Amsterdam Central Station will complete the luxurious feel of your trip. You and the whole family will also get to see Kinderdijk, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Danube River Cruise Spend 8 days and 7 nights sailing along the Danube river and explore eight destinations in four countries. Visit charming villages like Dürnstein, or majestic cities like Salzburg. More outdoor fun is in store for the whole family with an excursion to Lazar Equestrian Park, an iconic ranch in Hungary. Is there anyone in the family who is a big fan of Disney’s Tangled? Then you better book this trip right now because it includes a tour of the Devin Castle, and the famous Maiden Tower that’s perched on a cliff. This castle served as an inspiration for many fairytales including Tangled. Holiday Danube River Cruise If you’re thinking about going on a cruise for the Holiday Season, then the Holiday Danube River Cruise is the perfect getaway for the whole family. The excursions are tailor-fitted to visit the most exciting spots in December such as Christmas markets in various ports all over Europe, marionette shows and strudel-making workshops in Schonbrunn Palace. On Christmas Day, the whole family can enjoy a show featuring the Vienna Boys Choir.

 In the last few years, river cruising has started to catch the attention of travelers all over the world. The real question though, is this: what are the factors behind the growing popularity of river cruising? Here are a few reasons why: Value for money. One of the reasons why more and more people are choosing to book river cruises is because of all-inclusive deals. Most river cruises come in all-inclusive packages which let the vacationers enjoy their holiday without worrying about the budget. These deals are good ones, too. A package usually includes shore excursions, meals and drinks, and Wi-Fi. Luxurious ships. These days more luxurious ships catered to river cruising are being built. One advantage of ocean cruising at the moment is that it provides its guests with the option to choose from a wide price range. It won’t be long, though, before this advantage is shared with river cruising because of the upcoming ships and cruise lines that bring the promise of a more luxurious lifestyle. The ease. The appeal of river cruising also comes from the ease of the travel experience. The ships are smaller and can only carry a few hundred people. As soon as you arrive at the airport, you will be guided to the boat. Shore travel is also more convenient since you don’t have to wait in line for the rest of the guests to disembark or go back to the ship. Exotic destinations. As mentioned earlier, river cruising mostly comes in all-inclusive packages. This allows the guests to enjoy the excursions more while they’re off the boat since it is already included in what they paid for. In terms of destinations, there is a lot to choose from, especially for travellers who have already done the mainstream. For example, the Brahmaputra and Ganges in India. The overall experience. River cruising is low-key, compared to ocean cruising. If you’ll use hotels as a comparison, river cruises are actually your luxury boutique hotels. This is what encourages more people to book river cruises all over the world—the slow pace lets you really take a deep dive into the culture of your destination. Did you know that you can sometimes stroll a town on your own during some of your shore trips? The package even includes bike rental fees to help you enjoy your shore trip further! Just like you, I'm excited to see what else is in store for river cruising. For starters, we have bigger and better ships to look forward to. If you haven’t tried river cruising yet, then this is a good time to book a trip. Book yours now!   Dominique Barba
