“To cruise or not to cruise. . .?”, that is the [best] question. Whether you’re a seasoned and seaworthy sailor or new to cocktails on the lido deck, you’ll always find something surprising in the world of cruising.

Indeed, cruising is one of the best ways to cross off that bucket list of once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

While living on a ship, you could:

• Enjoy the engineering and historical marvel of the Panama Canal from the bow of your cruise ship as your captain navigates the 100+ year old lock system.
• Soak in the power of enormous luscious rainforests, calving glaciers and fascinating wildlife on a trip up the Inside Passage of the Pacific Coast.
• Cruise southern Japan by water during cherry blossom season with shore excursions in Japan’s most famous cities and villages that are bursting with history and culture.
• Sleep under the stars and enjoy close-up encounters with African wildlife on a stopover in Tanzania.

Satisfy the desires of the whole family on a ship with something for everyone, from Grandma down to the little ones by...

• Signing up for mini-putt, Broadway-style shows, photography lessons, cultural cooking classes and delicious meals to suit every palate.
• Entertaining the kids for hours with waterslides, the arcade and kids’ clubs where the kids will meet new international friends.

Whether you’re ready to sign up for 57 days of circumnavigating the rugged lands and waters of Canada by rail and ship or a getaway on an small ship through Europe or Scandinavia’s most enchanting ports, we have you covered. Even if cruising wasn’t your first choice, it might be your favourite vacation ever!

Considering a cruise? We highly recommend giving river cruising a go – it is one of the most engaging ways to explore villages and wildlife around the world.

River cruising across Europe offers a comfier, slower pace than the typical plane or train travel. Riverboats give you the opportunity to:

• soak in castles and cathedrals on the Danube River before stopping in city Christmas Markets or tiny villages along the way,
• view tulips upon tulips up and down Rhine River from Amsterdam to Brussels,
• immerse yourself in the cultures, languages and culinary delights of the Rhine and Rhone Rivers as they meander through Germany and France.

Africa, Asia and South America are equally as impressive with trips combining multiple modes of travel that will simply take your breath away:

• hike Machu Picchu, cruise the Peruvian Amazon River and ocean cruise the Galapagos to round out your trip to South America,
• make noodles in a small village in Cambodia, take an ox car ride through Phnom Penh and hop aboard a riverboat tour to watch the banks of the Mekong Delta go by from your luxury cabin,
• tour the vineyards of South Africa, safari by boat on the Chobe river and ride the luxurious Rovos Rail to the Hwange Game Reserve.

River cruising lets you see the world close up.

Every trip can be custom built to your travel dreams: adventure, cultural, culinary and more. Quality service and local dining delights can be found on board riverboats around the world. Plus, there is a river cruise for every budget.
