River cruising is FINALLY resuming! You are probably asking yourself how this amazing way to travel has changed. River cruise companies - in Europe and in the United States (US) - are requiring their guests to be fully vaccinated. Now is a great time to book your next river adventure.
As the American Steamboat Company is advertising, "you can cruise America’s iconic rivers and embrace the freedom only American Queen Steamboat Company can provide." Guests will relax while being...
- FREE from face masks;
- FREE from social distancing;
- FREE from pre-trip quarantining; and
- FREE from pre-trip COVID testing.
Guests are FREE to enjoy stunning views and delicious meals! If you are interested in exploring the iconic rivers right here in the US, the American Steamboat Company offers an authentic paddlewheel river boat experience across the country. Their package includes a pre-cruise hotel stay, unlimited beverages, included shore excursions and free WiFi. It even includes daily entertainment, bicycles and hiking sticks! They offer cruises on the Mississippi River, Columbia River and Snake River.
So what about Europe?
Europe is reopening to visitors, and you can get some amazing deals on river cruises in 2021 if you are ready to travel internationally again. For example, Emerald Cruises plans to kick off its 2021 river cruise season in July and operate no fewer than 38 river cruises in Europe by the end of the year. The line's Rhine River sailing will depart from Basel, Switzerland on August 19, 2021. The first Danube cruise leaves Nuremberg, Germany on August 30, 2021. River cruising in Portugal departs from Porto on July 31, 2021.Guests must be fully vaccinated in order to sail. Their packages include gourmet beer and wine with lunch and dinner, excursions, transfers, tips and much more. They have bicycles and Nordic walking sticks available on board. At least one active excursion is included in each itinerary, including yoga classes, Pilates sessions, aqua aerobics in a heated pool and their ‘walk-a-mile’ class on the Sun Deck. Book by August 31, 2021 on Emerald Cruises to save up to $2,000 per couple on Danube, Rhine and Douro river cruises. They are also offering reduced, refundable deposits and free single supplements.
I am personally looking forward to returning to river cruising in Europe. I am booked to sail on the Douro River with Emerald Waterways in August, and I can't wait to tell you all about it!
