All of these brands feature a version of all-inclusive pricing, and some of them have ships with all-suite accommodations.

River Cruise Lines

Becoming more and more popular, a river cruise is an immerse and destination-focused vacation experience, on a small and luxurious vessel.

River cruises sail through the inland waterways of some of the world's most interesting vacation destinations (i.e. Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America), and provide their guests with a greater opportunity to spend time visiting more unique ports of call than a traditional cruise typically would.

Because the destination is the star of a river cruise, (typically guided) shore excursions are included at no additional charge by many River cruise lines. There are usually many interesting lectures given during the cruise, by experts on the history and culture of the region being visited.

Among the famous rivers that one may take a river cruise on are the Rhine, Mississippi, Seine, Danube, Mekong, Nile, Yangtze, Amazon and Douro.

This beautiful curved stretch of beach offers breathtaking scenery, crystal blue waters, and great amenities, including a few nearby cafes where you can quickly grab a bite to eat. While you’re able to swim at this, it is important to be aware of the stingers and crocs that dwell in the waters off this coastline.

During your visit, you can learn about the story of a famous hanging, as well as the lifestyle of former lighthouse keepers, locals who served in World War I, and more.
