​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.

Prague Danube River Cruise Extension
Add three more days to your European River Cruise by opting for the Prague Danube River Cruise Extension. This offers a stay in one of the most historic town in Europe—Prague. Walk through history with a tour of Český Krumlov and other popular and lesser known sites in the town and teach your kids a thing or two about art, history, and architecture. ​

Book one of these trips for a magical European River Cruise! This time, you’re not just in for an adventure—with Disney teaming up with AmaWaterways, you’ll also get to have the finest experience river cruising can offer!

River Cruising: Why is this the Fastest Growing Cruise Market?

6/10/2016

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!

River Cruising vs Ocean Cruising

6/3/2016

0 Comments

 
Those of us who are fond of making bucket lists often have that item that says “Go on a cruise.” If you’re close to crossing that item from your list, then have you already decided which type of cruise floats your boat? Here are the things that you need to know before booking an ocean or a river cruise!

Benefits of booking a river cruise:
  1. Intimate. River cruise ships are a lot smaller than ocean cruise ships, and it can only accommodate a limited number of people. As a result, it’s not too crowded, and you won’t lose a lot of cruise time because it’s easy to disembark and go back on board. 
  2. More interesting routes. Expect that the itinerary has more stops than its ocean counterpart. In some cases, you will visit two ports in one day. This is actually one of the key attractions of going on a river cruise—the places you’ll visit are often rich in history and culture. During the olden times, sailing rivers was one of the main types of transportation. So, a lot of interesting places were built around the port and you can explore these through excursions that are included in the trip.
  3. Less chances of getting seasick. There aren’t any waves so this type of cruise is perfect for those who tend to get sick on a shaky boat. There is also that feeling of security because you have a view of the land at all times.
  4. It lets you experience the best of all-inclusive deals. Since river cruises can only take in a limited number of people, it’s easier for them to organize great all-inclusive deals. Land tours, meals, and other excursions are usually part of the deal. Also, if you’re the type who can’t last a day without going online, you’ll like these deals because most of them include free Wi-Fi!

Benefits of booking an ocean cruise:
  1. More choices in terms of destinations. Since ocean cruising has been the go-to option (at one point, it was the only option) by cruisers during the last few decades, you will find that there are a lot of options, whether you’re choosing between destinations, duration, or cruise lines.
  2. A wider array of amenities and facilities. Going on an ocean cruise is comparable to checking in at a luxury resort—you get to enjoy spacious cabins, a pool, and there is just a lot of extra room for your personal activities.
  3. There are a lot of great deals available. Again, due to the popularity of ocean cruises, you will find that you have quite a lot of options when it comes to pricing. There is more flexibility because there are different accommodations to choose from. Moreover, travel sites partner with these types of cruise ships, so expect to stumble upon various great deals. 
  4. More forms of entertainment are possible. Since most ocean cruise ships are big, you can bring some of your favorite forms of entertainment with you at sea such as wall-climbing, table tennis, or even some of the most iconic Broadway shows!
Did I make choosing easier for you? Whatever choice you make, I'm sure that you will enjoy the overall experience. After all, both options include all that you need for a fantastic luxury escape: great locations, great accommodation, and stellar service.
