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.

Mainstream Cruise Lines

Value is a key feature of these popular cruise lines, as they offer lots of activities, entertainment and dining options, along with a variety of stateroom types. Some of the cruise lines in this category have ships with unique innovations like water slides, rock-climbing walls, ice-skating rinks, surfing simulators, bowling alleys, and boardwalks.

Their ships are usually anywhere from mid-sized to very large "mega" ships, accommodating thousands of guests. These ships give the feel of being in a large resort.

Mainstream cruise lines are a great option for just about everyone (including multi-generation families, and first-time cruisers), and typically have great youth programs.

During the cruise, entertainment may include Broadway productions, Vegas-style shows, comedians, and music. Some of these lines have select formal nights during the cruise. Specialty restaurants are becoming more and more common (some which have a cover charge for this type enhanced dining experience). Buffets are usually available throughout the day, besides room service, and the main dining room(s).

Things to do near Brussels

These are just a few of the more popular tourist attractions in Brussels, along with a brief description:

♦ Grand Place

The most notable and iconic attraction in all of Brussels is easily Grand Place (also called Grote Markt). A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Grand Place is the main city square, overlooked by Town Hall and filled with nothing short of massive beauty. This is where you can discover some of Brussel’s most notable buildings and guild houses (featuring stunning Baroque and Gothic architecture), cultural events, festivals, and more. It is such a famous destination that it’s even been the filming location for TV shows! There are also a bunch of cozy cafes (perfect for people watching) and a large flower market opens up during the summer. Grand Place is an excellent starting point for exploring Brussels, as it truly is the heart of the city!

♦ Atomium

This interesting yet iconic landmark was originally built for the 1958 Brussels World Expo and is now a museum and major tourist attraction. Towering over 300 feet into the air, this stainless-steel structure is shaped as the cell of an iron crystal, and contains museum exhibits, event space, and a panoramic restaurant at the top. Walking through a tubes and spheres of the Atomium is nothing short of an unforgettable experience! There’s also a gift shop where you can purchase something to remember your experience by. The views from the top of the Atomium are utterly breathtaking! Plus, it is located near a bunch of parks and nature reserves, so you can easily make a day out of visiting this amazing building.

♦ Museums

Brussels is filled with many interesting museums. Among some of the most noteworthy include Parc du Cinquantenaire (featuring art and military exhibits), the Belgian Comic Strip Center (a unique comic museum housed in a warehouse), the Musical Instruments Museum (featuring exhibits on classical and traditional instruments), the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (with artwork from the 15th to 21st centuries), and the Brussels City Museum (featuring a unique collection of costumes for the famous statues found throughout the city). Another must-stop museum is Choco-Story Brussels, where you can discover all you ever wanted to know about chocolate-making, as well as watch demonstrations and enjoy sweet samples!
