River cruising offers a unique, convenient, and increasingly popular way to travel. In this blog post we Highlight the diverse destinations, the all-inclusive value, the appeal to various types of travelers, and the commitment to sustainability.
Growing Trend: River cruising is becoming increasingly popular, with an average growth of 10% per year pre-pandemic. This trend is expected to continue, with a projected growth of 12% by 2028, outpacing even ocean cruises.
Convenience and Value: One of the main attractions of river cruising is the convenience of unpacking only once while visiting multiple cities. Additionally, with the rising costs of hotel rooms, dining, and local transport in European cities, river cruises offer a more cost-effective option. Many cruises offer full-board or all-inclusive packages, which include meals, drinks, entertainment, and shore excursions.
Diverse Destinations and Experiences: River cruises are expanding their itineraries to include more exotic locations like Colombia, Egypt, and Vietnam/Cambodia. They cater to a variety of interests, from Christmas market cruises to grand tours and world cruises.
Appeal to Different Travelers: River cruises are attracting a diverse range of travelers, including active travelers looking for sports and wellness facilities, women traveling alone or in groups, and multigenerational families. The safe and inclusive environment of river cruises is a significant draw.
Sustainability Efforts: Many river cruise lines are focusing on sustainability, with initiatives like reducing food waste, more efficient fuel consumption, waste management systems, and even battery-powered ships.
Unique Experiences: We have exclusive river cruises for 2024, offering unique experiences like cruising with celebrity chefs and experts, exploring the Douro Valley’s wines, or sailing through Vietnam and Cambodia with expert guides.
