Riverboat Cruises - A Romantic Trip

By: Mark Boucher Home | Travel-and-Leisure


River boat cruises can be a wonderful way for the family to spend time together or a romantic trip for the couple who wants to get away for a few hours or a few days. When you go on a riverboat cruise the scenery is just a part of the whole experience. The differences between an ocean cruise and a riverboat cruise are worlds apart. When traveling the river you will see historic landmarks that are a part of the area's heritage. There are many places to explore by taking a riverboat cruise such as the Mississippi River.

The experience of a cruise in an area so rich in heritage and at the hub of it all between St. Louis, Memphis, Cincinnati and Nashville will allow you to enjoy the sights at many different cities in the U.S. Experience the thrill that made Tom Sawyer's Huckleberry Finn a favorite of all of us who would like to wander the river as he did.

If a more exotic cruise is what you had in mind, why not cruise the Yangtze River in China? This is a trip that will allow you many sights such as the Great Wall of China and Shibaozhai. The twelve story temple is a sight you will not want to miss. The Reed Flute Cave, Elephant Trunk Hill, and Goose Neck Park are just a few of the attractions this area has to offer. Often the China riverboat cruises are part of the vacation attraction for this area. The cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg are along the route of many of the cruises. What better way to spend your time than learning about the history of the Yangtze River and the cities along its path?

When deciding where your riverboat cruise will take you, a Vantage River cruise may be what you are seeking. This is one of the most luxurious ways to see Europe. The different countries such as Holland, Germany, and the countries of Eastern Europe will give you a glimpse into the culture and beauty native to this area. The legend of the Lorelei Rock - the maiden Lorelei who drowned herself in the river over an unfaithful lover, and become a siren that lured sailors with her mesmerizing music to their death on the rocks - is one of the many pieces of history that will be a part of your cruise.

A special of the Vantage river cruises is the chance to try regional foods since their cruises include meals. The area you will be cruising will have an assortment of different foods that are native to the countries. There will be plenty of chances to experience all they have to offer since the array of breweries, restaurants, and local eateries are plentiful. The advantage of taking a riverboat cruise is the slow and relaxed atmosphere that will have you feeling refreshed in no time. Add the benefits of all the magnificent history and spots you will see along the way as well as the wonderful accommodations you will enjoy while on your cruise and you will be making this one of your regular vacation choices.
