Even though river cruising is the fastest growing segment of the travel industry, and has been for over five years, there are millions of people who really don't what river cruising involves, where the most popular cruises are and why this genre of travel has exploded on the scene. A cursory sample of the public with the question, "Do you know much about river cruise vacations?, brings answers like, "Well, I think my aunt and uncle went on one," "Is that on those small boats like barges? or "You mean like river rafting?" Premier River Cruises, a unique and innovative travel agency dedicated to offering solely river cruises, is dedicated to offering not only terrific deals for river cruises around the world but a wealth of information about cruises, what they entail, what to expect and how to prepare.
In an effort to prepare those new to river cruising, Premier together an overview page on their website that is linked up to wealth of articles, lists and other advice pages. Repeat business and word of mouth are big reasons why river cruising is so popular, and this may be one of the reason so many are still unaware of the absolute joy of river cruising on rivers throughout Europe, the wonder of Vietnam-Cambodia Mekong River Cruise, navigating the Volga-Baltic Waterways between Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia or heading out on an old-time paddle boat on the Mississippi River.
For a starter, 90% of first time river cruisers generally select a Europe river cruise as the perfect introduction to the delightful world of river cruising. This means the Rhine and Danube Rivers, running from the North through Central and into Eastern Europe primarily, but may also involve the Rhone and Seine Rivers in France or the Mosel River that goes from the Rhine to Luxembourg. On that page is also a carefully chosen a list of river cruise itineraries that are just perfect for getting your "feet wet" on the rivers, this contained within the innovative cruisGENIE™ CRUISE LOCATOR that allows one to search with a wide-variety of parameters.
River Cruises provide more value for your travel budget.
River cruising is the fastest growing segment of the cruise industry and that's because of the inherent values of a river cruise such as: an average of only 140 passengers, well-designed FREE sightseeing in every port, exceptional cuisine accompanied by complimentary fine wines and beers, luxuriously appointed and very spacious staterooms, all of which have windows or beautiful balconies, and much more. The best analogy is that you're able to enjoy a floating 5-star luxury resort that magically transports you from one exciting place to another.
