River Cruises

Curious about a river cruise? Whether you're researching a European river cruise on the Rhine or Danube, or looking at something closer to home like a Mississippi River cruise, Cruise Critic has the scoop on everything from what lines to consider to what you'll need to pack. With smaller ships and opportunities to explore European capitals and small towns alike, river cruises are a different kind of trip, often appealing to travelers who have never been on a sailing before. Let Cruise Critic show you why river cruises have such broad appeal, and why you should consider one for your next vacation.
