Let’s not forget the good old US of A. Not interested in flying to Europe for a river cruise? Well it’s fortunate that we have many equally enchanting rivers here in the States.
You can indeed take a cruise down the Mississippi River, the Ohio River, the Cumberland River, the Illinois River, the Columbia River and the Snake River. All of those are right here, and departures down the Mississippi now leave from Chicago (Ottawa, IL)!
The onboard luxury is unmatched with savory cuisine, intimate experiences, and cozy ambiance. There’s even an option to extend your vacation with stays in Memphis, Nashville, New Orleans and more.
