Cruising happens on rivers in such varied ways it is astonishing.

You can cruise down a river in a paddlewheeler, or a take a European or Asian or South American river cruise on a river boat that is designed to maneuver through all types of water and in all seasons. River cruising is becoming more popular with each passing year, with cruise lines putting focus on wine and cheese based river trips, bicycle from port to port trips and farm to fork emphasis on board the ships, utilizing local produce at each port along the rivers.

In this day and age of large mega cruise ships,

it is refreshing to note that there are still true sailing ships

that you can select for your cruise of a lifetime.

All of the providers of cruises using ships with sails understand that people who choose their type of cruise are looking for that experience of watching the sails being hoisted, feeling the ship catch the wind, and being there to experience first hand the rush of setting sail across the waters with the wind as your power into a memory of a lifetime!

The sailing ships are far smaller in size, so the number of people on the ships usually are between 100-200 people. The emphasis on this type of ship is the personal enjoyment for each passenger, so you will find attention to excellent food, beverage and accommodations. You will find top notch attention to your needs by the well trained staff, in fact most people who experience these trips say they have never been pampered so completely! You will not find Broadway style entertainment, casinos or a great number of shore excursions; while there will be some excursions, you are often left to explore your port using your own curiosity, giving you an opportunity to make even more exciting discoveries that have not been pre-planned for you.

These sailing trips are designed for relaxing, making port in locations that would never be visited by large cruise ships, and offering plenty of time to enjoy the sun and lush breezes at your own pace.
