Make Time to Travel with Loved Ones
Time is our most precious commodity, and making memories with the people who matter most to you enriches your life and theirs. Whether you bring together a multigenerational family gathering or a simple mother and daughter trip, river cruising provides the perfect blend of activity and quiet moments to accommodate all ages and levels of mobility.
Separate but together – with less than 150 guests, our ships feel more like private yachts than cruise ships. And with up to 23 included excursions during a seven night cruise, it is easy to personalize how your precious time is spent.

Expand Your World - Start A New Activity or Hobby
Whether you take up yoga, get back on a bike, take a photography class, join a wine group or start researching your ancestry, a new activity or hobby opens up your world to new experiences and new people, and both are wonderful ways to enhance your wellbeing. With hiking or biking tours and even champagne yoga classes on board, we make getting started with new activities easy and fun. Whether shared with a loved one or on your own, joining one of our hosted Celebration of Wine cruises or our Heritage on the River cruises in collaboration with Ancestry.com, you are sure to learn more about yourself and have added fun sharing the knowledge with others when you return.
