The European River Cruises

Casinos, discos and noisy bars are for passengers of sea cruises. And there is a suggestion for the passenger of river cruise not to have so noisy fun but to admire ancient and fine in comfortable conditions. Behind a stern medieval castles slowly float. In a cabin the champagne bottle tinkles about a silver bucket. In a wardroom the schooled steward waits.

Cruise over the rivers of the Central Europe considerably differs from travel on the Russian or Ukrainian rivers. And business is not only in comfort level. On Rhine or Mozel you will not see such four-deck giants as on Volga, – navigation conditions don’t allow. Here river cruise vessel, as a rule, has two-three decks, its average capacity is hardly 100 persons. It does chamber and cozy atmosphere on a vessel. That who has got used to cruise megaliners which go across Caribbean Islands or Mediterranean sea it is necessary to consider this feature of river cruises – spaces on a vessel. Many habitual things like a casino or a disco aren’t present here. Cabins, even a class “lux”, as a rule, are the small. But there is ready the excursion program and there is not a monotonous water behind a window but picturesque coast with ancient castles, cozy small towns, mountains and woods.

In difference from the big ocean liners, small and cozier ships swim on the rivers of Europe. The size of an average vessel in length of 110 meters, capacity is about 150 passengers. River cruises over Europe are steam-ships without internal cabins, as a rule, all cabins are with the big windows, some are with balconies.
The degree of service at all doesn’t concede in river cruise to the big oceanic liners, more likely on the contrary, it is more private approach to each tourist. The reusable power supply system onboard, a wide choice of drinks – from juice to elite alcohol will be offered you. If you prefer to populous parties quieter actions – this rest is for you!

Obvious advantage of river cruises across Europe, as well as in sea cruises, is visiting of set of cities along the line. The most popular routes are cruises over the rivers Danube, Hay, Rhine and etc. you will see ancient European cities, the monuments of architecture having world art value, the most known museums, galleries and theaters – and all it is without numerous air flights and bus moving. To observe of a course of movement of the river steam-ship in river cruise is special pleasure.

From a window of your cabin new kinds every day will open: and big cities with the European greatness, and silent provinces with green meadows.

Duration of river cruises across Europe makes from 7 till 14 days. But there are also exceptions, for example cruise of 26 days which begins in Amsterdam and comes to an end in Istanbul. River cruises over Europe are spent from March till December, practically all year long.
