river cruises

At Mockingbird Travels, river cruising is one of my favorite ways to help clients experience the world—up close and unhurried. If you’re seeking a more intimate travel style that immerses you in the culture, history, and scenery of each destination, a river cruise may be exactly what you’re looking for.

River cruises offer a refined, relaxed, and enriching way to travel—where the ship is your floating boutique hotel and every stop brings you right into the center of remarkable towns, cities, and landscapes.

Enjoy included excursions, regional cuisine, and personalized service, all while traveling with fewer passengers and docking in places ocean liners simply can’t reach.

• Europe: Sail the Danube, Rhine, Seine, Douro, or Moselle rivers to explore grand capitals, fairytale villages, and vineyard-covered hillsides.
• Egypt: Cruise along the legendary Nile, uncovering ancient temples and the mysteries of the pharaohs.
• Asia: Discover the vibrant cultures and scenic beauty of the Mekong in Vietnam and Cambodia or the Ganges in India.
• USA: Stay closer to home with a cruise along the Mississippi, Columbia, or Snake River, and experience the charm of American river towns.
   

I work with the industry’s most reputable and award-winning river cruise lines, including:

• AmaWaterways
• Avalon Waterways
• Tauck River Cruises
• Viking River Cruises
• Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection
