American River Cruises

Scenic river cruises in the United States and abroad offer enriching experiences aboard small, intimate ships. Winding through lush river valleys and visiting charming riverside towns as well as bustling port cities, these river cruises provide a unique perspective on America.

Small ships also ply major rivers in other parts of the world, such as the Nile, the Amazon and the Yangtze. You can read more in the International River Cruises section.

American river cruises offer itineraries that are rich in cultural excursions. Cruises in the southern portion of the United States are available year-round. The cruising season along the rivers of the Pacific Northwest and Midwest lasts from March-May and September-November.
