River & Specialty Cruises
  
|
Celebrations International Travel offers an excellent variety of river and specialty cruises.
River cruises are available around the world, and the offerings vary from exploration ships to steamboats to luxury hotel barges. Cruise the Danube and follow in the steps of Mozart, tour the magnificent chateaus of the Loire Valley aboard a luxury hotel barge, or enjoy picturesque views along the Yangtze on an exotic river cruise in China. These are amongst the many different things you can experience on a river cruise.
River cruising has many advantages:
 Unlike oceanliner cruises, most land-based sightseeing is included in your cruise fare, with fewer optional excursions which carry an additional fee.
The smaller size of the river cruising vessels also limits the number of passengers accommodated on each sailing, which in turn makes for a more intimate shipboard atmosphere than you would typically expect to find on most oceanliners.
The maneuverability of these smaller ships and barges allows them to access waterways and ports unreachable by larger vessels. This unique advantage gives passengers the opportunity to visit a wider variety of destinations, including more exotic locales.
River cruise ships offer mostly outside or balcony staterooms, offering beatiful views of your surroundings. Some luxury barges offer all-suite accommodations.
Similar to ocean cruising, dining options and styles vary amongst the river cruise lines. Some offer formal dining in one or two seatings, while others offer a variety of dining choices and destination-focused cuisine.
A river cruise may be enjoyed as a vacation by itself, or may be incorporated as part of a regional tour.
Specialty Cruises
Specialty cruises may revolve around a theme or be geared towards cruisers with particular interests or hobbies.
Specialty cruises are also a popular choice for clubs, groups, and other organizations looking to offer their members a unique and memorable vacation experience.
