You might have thought about going on a cruise holiday some day, or may have already been on one. But are you thinking of the traditional cruise holidays that take to the ocean and all of the formalities that traditionally go with such a cruise holiday?
Well these days you can choose to go on river cruises which are far more informal and relaxed than regular ocean cruises. You still get to see a number of exotic destinations in one holiday but are simply travelling along some of the worlds most famous rivers rather than travelling on the open ocean. This is ideal for those who get tired of looking at the sea day day after day.
The vessels that travel along the rivers rarely carry more than 300 passengers making these cruises a more intimate experience.
And if you think that travelling along rivers will restrict the places you can see then you would be wrong. If you think if all the major cities and places in the world most have rivers running through them. Destinations you can visit include the Rhine which run through the Swiss Alps. The Rhone which runs through the Swiss Alps, passed Lake Geneva and into France. You could choose to cruise along the river Nile in Egypt of the Danube. You can even go as far a field as Chine and take a cruise along China's most famous river.
So if you are looking for am holiday with a difference, this is definitely something to think about as you will get to experience many different places in a relaxed informal setting. And it needn't cost a fortune with so many online travel sites now offering great deals on cruise breaks. Cosmos specialise in river cruises and have many river cruises on offer at low prices.
