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.

Deluxe Cruise Lines

These cruise lines fit (quality and, usually, price-wise) somewhere in between Premium and Luxury cruise lines.

A country club casual atmosphere can be expected on these lines, as can be elegant accommodations and gourmet cuisine. These cruise lines are a great option for adults looking for a upscale, yet laid back, vacation.

Unique itineraries are often available on these cruise lines, as their small-to-mid-sized ships can visit ports of call that large ones can't get to.

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.

Things to do near Paris, France

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

♦ The Eiffel Tower

When thinking of Paris, the Eiffel Tower is probably the first image to comes to mind! This towering icon is a symbol of Paris and visited by many travelers each year. Admiring it from the ground is magnificent in itself, but you can also go to the top for an additional fee. If you have time before or after your cruise, you definitely don’t want to miss catching a glimpse of this tower at night – it lights up and illuminates the surrounding area, creating a very magical and memorable experience. It’s an activity that is perfect for honeymooners, couples, families, and travelers of all ages.

♦ Moulin Rouge

You simply cannot visit Paris without experiencing the world-famous Moulin Rouge! Housed in a 19th century windmill building (which is an attraction in itself), you can catch the full dinner and show experience. Prepare to be impressed by breathtaking music, high-energy dances, colorful costumes and other entertaining performances (such as roller-skating acts) that will capture your attention like none other.

♦ Louvre Museum

Another can’t-miss attraction is Paris is the prominent Louvre Museum, which houses acclaimed artwork, including the original Mona Lisa. The striking architectural structure of this museum is the first to take your breath away, followed by a massive collection of art, artifacts, and collections. You can choose to explore this museum on your own or opt for a guided tour to ensure that you see everything you’re interested in learning about (since the museum is very large, it is highly recommended to take a guided tour).
