Which Is the Best River to Cruise?
Published Monday, January 31st 2022
If you love to experience the cultures of other countries, appreciate food and wine, and enjoy history & architecture, then you will love river cruising.
When I’m talking about river cruising, “Which is the best river to cruise?” is the most common question people ask me. This is a hard question to answer. Not because I don’t know which river is my favorite, but because my favorite river might not be yours. It really depends on a destination that holds a particular interest to you. For example:
- If you enjoy awe-inspiring architecture, breathtaking landscapes, and culinary delights, consider sailing down Europe’s Danube River. It is the most popular river to sail for first-time river cruisers.
- If you are interested in seeing medieval Europe’s stately castles and fairytale villages, then the Rhine River is perfect for you.
- If you want to experience romantic cities, impeccable cuisine, and artistic experiences, then France’s Rhône River is for you.
However, river cruising isn’t limited to only Europe. These home-based and exotic rivers might be right for you:
The Mississippi River
Did you know you can sail through 2,350 miles of the Mighty Mississippi River from Minnesota to Louisiana? This river cruise is perfect for exploring the United States and being immersed in American history and culture.
The Mekong River
Imagine being transported back in time to another era, where the rhythms of the countryside move at a slower pace. Cruising the Mekong River allows for a fascinating glimpse into a traditional way of life. This river cruise experience will leave a lasting impression.
The Nile River
On a Nile River Cruise, you will discover the ancient civilization of Egypt. You’ll get to explore ancient wonders, such as the Temple of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings and Queens. You also come face-to-face with the last survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Sphinx, and the three Pyramids of Giza.
As you can see, the waterways of our world are vast. River cruising is peaceful, scenic, and intimate. And once you’ve taken your first river cruise, you will be addicted. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
