Consider rediscovering America in an easy and hassle-free manner. Then River Cruises are there for you.

For the first settlers of America, rivers were natural highways, today the same rivers represent the old and the new, and you may discover American history revealing to you leisurely and little by little. Today many people enjoy America’s great waterways on Victorian Style steam driven paddle wheelers on 3-to twelve-night trips. There are astonishing antiques shown in the gallery and there is a two-storey dining room with huge windows for an extraordinary view of the landscape. The river steamboats are decorated in 19th century style with chic furnishings- a striking mirrored and brass staircase and a lounge with a two-storied glass back wall for viewing of the giant paddlewheel. You can also find many other amenities, for instance, movie theaters, musical shows and bathing pools.

During river cruises you are neither seasick nor loose sight of the land as in sea\ocean cruises and neither pack and unpack for several times hotels like in a car or motor coach tour. You may sail over the rivers Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio – back and forth on four to ten days trips throughout the year. You can lounge on the Sky Deck, read, play games or watch videos. The dining is usually casual, informal with no assigned seating. You can wander to the pilothouse and look at the real-time radar and navigational charts, if you want to. Storytellers, bluegrass and blues bands, dancers and Cajuns will join aboard to amuse you at different ports.

While on a cruise you learn about America’s heritage, and understand the development of commerce and industry in America. Fancy viewing the colors along the riverbanks or the rising or setting sun. You might like to take on shore excursions to New Orleans French Quarter or the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn. You may also cruise the river to observe themes like 1950’s music, big bands, old-fashioned holidays, or the fall along the Ohio River.

Columbia River Cruise

Cruise Columbia and learn about its legendary past and view its untouched picturesque landscapes. You can take a river cruise aboard an authentic sternwheeler and celebrate the bicentennial of Lewis & Clark’s pioneer exploration. During the cruise you trace the routes they walked and see what they saw, 200 years ago. Every season is ideal season for Columbia river cruise. It makes no difference of when you will decide to head for a cruise, the same imposing scenery and smooth waters, volcanic peaks, admirable forests, and exceptional, ever-lasting palette of colors. Every season you may have new experience. In spring and fall the river cruises are at excellent prices and the perfect way to experience all the incomparable attractions of the Pacific Northwest. In summer when the Caribbean suffers from the hurricanes, you may enjoy calmness and sweetness of the river cruise.

Mississippi River Cruise

Mississippi is the third world’s longest river. Its natural might, grace, and splendor have amazed civilizations throughout the ages. Native Americans erected their towns and cities along her banks. She was a through-passage to them and colonists. A common cruise passes through a variety of picturesque landscapes. Each bend changes the river’s essence. The scenery of miles of forests and plains is ruined by incredible islands with quaint sounding names. The vigorous wildlife along the banks lives its own life and shows no but routine interest to the ships floating by.
